Lucerne

Fibre is vital for the health of the ruminant and poultry digestive systems, and we believe that everyone should “think fibre first” with their animal’s diets

Lucerne is a natural source of protein and has been part of animal rations for millennia. Now, with modern species, dehydration and homogenization, lucerne, whether baled or pelleted, is an essential addition to any diet.

Fibre is vital for the health of the ruminants’ digestive systems, and we believe that everyone should “think fibre first” with their ruminant’s diets. Not only is fibre an important source of energy for the ruminant, it also makes the stomach work more efficiently and keeps it in the correct acidic range. Lucerne provides high levels of digestible fibre and is an excellent source of slow-release energy, plus contains naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

As a source of quality fibre, you can feed lucerne to ruminants without diluting the diet like some other sources of fibre, such as straw. Lucerne is a natural buffer and is the smart choice when feeding large quantities of cereals, maize silage and, especially, wet or acidic silages.
