Early cutting of alfalfa hay boosts feed quality says KSUs Bonewitz
Kansas State University dairy specialist Ralph Bonewitz urges early hay cutting to preserve leaves which are high in digestible protein and total digestible nutrients. He notes alfalfa leaves offer over 17 percent digestible protein and about 58 pounds TDN per 100 pounds, while stems lag with 5 percent protein and 42 percent TDN. Conditioning equipment can cut field curing time by 30 to 50 percent, though leaf loss can occur if drying is not monitored.
