QUESTION

Following is the ‘best quality hay’ for feeding of sheep?

OPTIONS

(A) Lucerne hay
(B) Grass hay
(C) Mixed grass hay
(D) Guinea grass hay

ANSWER

(A) Lucerne hay

EXPLANATION

Lucerne (alfalfa) hay is generally considered a high-quality hay because it provides relatively high protein, minerals and digestible nutrients compared with ordinary grass hays. Grass hay, mixed grass hay and guinea-grass hay can be useful roughages but are generally less nutrient-dense than well-made lucerne hay.
