Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relative energy value of alfalfa, clover, and timothy hay for sustaining sheep. The author employs digestion trials to measure the digestible nutrients and metabolizable energy content of the three hays. The results of the research challenge the prevailing belief that alfalfa is superior to timothy hay. The author's findings suggest that timothy hay has a higher net energy value than either clover or alfalfa hay. This conclusion is based on the observation that sheep require less timothy hay to maintain their weight than they do alfalfa or clover hay. The author's work has implications for the feeding of sheep and other ruminants and highlights the need for a reevaluation of the relative energy value of different roughages.
