Abstract

Five separated dehydrated alfalfa products of different protein levels were evaluated using prices of feed ingredients from four different markets and three different time periods in both poultry and cattle rations. This evaluation shows that in some market situations the economic value of dehydrated alfalfa (dehy) can be increased by separation. The study also describes how the value of separation can be estimated. The method for air separating the light leafy fraction, which is high in protein and low in fiber, from the denser stem fraction, which contains most of the fiber, was developed by the Western Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, USDA. This technique provides the potential for producing dehydrated alfalfa products that can be more efficiently utilized by different livestock classes.
