Cicer Milkvetch (8%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Perennial Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Why In The Blend? Non-bloat legume. Excellent stockpiling qualities and ground cover.
Thrives in a long-rest environment.
Birdsfoot Trefoil (8%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Perennial Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Why In The Blend? Non-bloat legume. High adaptability to its environment. Stays vegetative longer (indeterminate plant species)
Falcata Alfalfa (4%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Perennial Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Why In The Blend? Creeping root plant. High leaf-to-stem ratio. Holds onto quality after flowering/maturing. Thrives in cool/dry environments.
Tap-Rooted Alfalfa (2%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Perennial Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Why In The Blend? High relative feed value. Potential for reaching moisture deep in the soil profile.
Red Clover (2%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Biennial Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Why In The Blend? A specific enzyme (polyphenol oxidase) in this plant allows the clover to break down in the abomasum, not the rumen, which uses the protein more efficiently. Grows well in shaded environments.
Sainfoin (6%)
Plant Type: Cool Season Perennial Legume
Mycorrhizal Dependent: Yes
Why In The Blend? Non-bloat legume. Increased digestibility over alfalfa with more desirable stems. Holds onto leaves longer after frost than alfalfa.
