Bulletin No. 247 - Effect Of Manure And Of Phosphorus Fertilizer On The Yield And Composition Of Alfalfa Hay, D. W. Pittman

UAES Bulletins

It has frequently been observed by practical stockmen that alfalfa hay produced on poor unproductive land has a much lower feeding value than hay produced on good productive land. Some have also observed that by the use of a supplemental feed rich in phosphorus (such as steamed bone-meal), the feeding value of this poor quality alfalfa hay may be improved, indicating that phosphorus deficiency is at least one cause of its low feeding value.
