Could a person use alfalfa pellets as a protein source? I was thinking of making my own tmr calf starter feed. The local feed store I buy my feed from doesn't offer a calf starter feed. Any other tips or can you tell per 100 lbs how to mix this feed? Thank you.
You can add 5 to 8 percent alfalfa pellets to your calf starter as a source of fiber but the protein from preformed protein from soybean meal or other source is important targetting 18% on a dry matt
How about calf starter for cattle breeding?
