Bulletin No. 247 - Effect of Manure and of Phosphorus Fertilizer on the Yield and Composition of Alfalfa Hay

Year: 1934

Type: article

Abstract: 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.
