BE CAUTIOUS WITH ALFALFt
Not Advisable to Feed Hay in Large
Quantities to Brood Mares-Great
Danger of 6Ioat.

1t is not well to feed alfalfa hay il
too large quantities to brood mares.
and this is a matter in which precau-
ton should be taken. Horses tend to
become bloated If allowed to overfeed
on alfalfa hay, especially if the hay liz
in more or less green stage. 1t is
always advisable when alfalfa hay is
to be fed to horses to allow the alfalfa
to remain In the field until well ma
tured.
The danger of bloating in horses is
especially great in the case Of mares in
foal, which are likely to overeat. These
precautions are not necessary in feed
ing alfalfa to cattle and. in fact, the
green alfalfa hay is very desirable for
dairy cattle. Good results have been
obtained in feeding brood mares by
limiting their alfalfa to one-third Of
the total amount of roughage fed to
them.
