Alfalfa’s Calcium Hard To Digest
Lincoln Nebraska dairy researchers report alfalfa as sole roughage leaves cows pinched in the chine though milk remains normal. About one third of alfalfa calcium is in insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, leaving only roughly 60 percent of calcium digestible by livestock. Crystals pass through cattle poultry and swine due to stomach pH limits.

Native Pasture Suffices For Wintering Cows Study
Kansas State University researchers report native Flint Hills pasture can meet spring calving cows’ protein and energy needs in early winter with adequate supplement. The study compares supplemented and non supplemented groups, noting similar body condition at calving and no impact on reproduction or weaning weights. Forage intake and quality varied month to month, with higher consumption in spring when digestibility and crude protein were higher.
