CD7 Dehydrated Alfalfa Pellets

Dehydrated alfalfa pellets were fed free-choice in an experiment, along with a mineral/vitamin supplement such as MVS1 for a rate of growth by weaned Spanish kids as great as that achieved with CD6. However, we have not evaluated dehydrated alfalfa pellets with Boer-cross kids or with meat goats at weights much greater than 75 pounds. Dehydrated alfalfa pellets are often 19 percent CP and 61 percent TDN on a dry matter basis.
