Description

Get the value of good alfalfa without the dust, waste, and storage headache of baled hay. Blue Seal Alfalfa Pellets take sun cured alfalfa, grind it, and press it into a clean, uniform pellet you can weigh, scoop, and store in a bin. Alfalfa is a legume forage, which means it naturally brings more protein and calcium to the table than most grass hay, and the pelleted form delivers that consistently from the first scoop of the bag to the last. Use it to stretch hay, to soak into a mash, or to add forage quality to a diet that is coming up short.

Key Features

  • Sun Cured Alfalfa: Legume forage in a form you can measure accurately every time.
  • Hay Stretcher: A practical way to extend a hay supply when good forage is short or the price is high.
  • Low Waste: No leaf shatter, no flakes torn apart and trampled, and very little left on the stall floor.
  • Easy to Soak: Breaks down into a soft mash for seniors and horses with worn teeth.
  • Consistent Quality: Every pellet is the same, unlike hay that varies bale to bale and cutting to cutting.
  • Clean and Compact: Far less dust than baled hay and a lot easier to stack in a small feed room.
  • Fifty Pound Bag: A familiar farm size that fits standard feed bins and pallets.

How to Use

Feed as part of the forage portion of the diet, either dry in a pan or soaked into a mash for older animals and fast eaters. Weigh the pellets rather than guessing by volume, and when you are replacing hay, swap by weight rather than by scoop. Bring them in gradually over seven to ten days so the gut adjusts, and remember that pellets are eaten far faster than long stem hay, so horses should still have some long fiber available to keep them busy. Provide clean, fresh water at all times, feed soaked portions promptly, and store the bag closed in a cool, dry, rodent proof space.

They can replace a meaningful share of the forage in a diet, but horses still benefit from long stem hay or pasture for chew time and gut health. Most owners use pellets to stretch or supplement hay rather than to eliminate it.
Soaking is not required for a horse with good teeth, though many people soak anyway for seniors, fast eaters, or animals prone to choke. Cover the pellets with water, let them break down into a mash, and feed what will be eaten within a few hours.
Alfalfa carries more protein and calories than most grass hay, so an overweight or easy keeping horse may need only a small amount, if any. Match the amount to body condition and workload, and ask your veterinarian if you are managing a metabolic horse.
Yes, alfalfa pellets are commonly fed across livestock species as a forage source. Feeding rates differ by species and stage of production, so follow guidance appropriate to the animals you are feeding.
