Alfalfa and Alfalfa-Brome Grass Hays for Growing and Fattening Lambs1

T. B. Keith2, Russell H. Stark3 and C. W. Hickman2

Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and U. S. Department of Agriculture

Abstract

A ration composed of equal parts concentrate and hay was used to study the comparative value of alfalfa hay alone and alfalfa-brome hay mixtures for growing and fattening lambs. Two alfalfa-brome mixtures were used. One contained 24 percent grass and the other 33 percent grass by dry weight. The gains and feed required to make 100 pounds of gain were practically the same for the lambs fed the different hays. The small differences in gains and feed requirements were not due to the differences in the nutritive value of the hays.
