| Content | Alfalfa hay bales, made from the nutrient-rich legume plant, provides livestock with a superior forage choice that delivers exceptional nutrition and supports their overall well-being. The bales are carefully harvested, dried, and compacted to preserve the natural goodness of the alfalfa, resulting in a highly palatable and digestible feed source.
Benefits of feeding alfalfa hay bales to livestock include:
- Nutritional Excellence: Alfalfa hay is renowned for its exceptional nutritional profile, boasting high levels of proteins, vitamins (A, D, E, and K), minerals (calcium, potassium, phosphorus), and fiber. These nutrients play a vital role in promoting optimal growth, muscle development, and overall health in livestock.
- Digestive Health: The fiber content in alfalfa hay promotes healthy digestion in livestock. It aids in maintaining a well-functioning digestive system, minimizing the risk of digestive disorders such as colic or gastrointestinal blockages. The fibrous nature of alfalfa hay also encourages proper chewing, which supports dental health in animals.
- Weight Management: Alfalfa hay bales can be utilized to manage weight in livestock. The high-quality proteins and fibers help maintain healthy body weight, whether the animals require weight gain or weight maintenance. This versatility allows livestock owners to adapt their feeding strategies to individual animals' needs.
- Enhanced Milk Production: For dairy cattle, alfalfa hay bales offer an excellent source of nutrition to support milk production. The balanced blend of proteins, minerals, and vitamins stimulates lactation, resulting in higher milk yields and improved milk quality.
- Improved Fertility and Reproductive Performance: The nutrient-rich composition of alfalfa hay positively influences reproductive health in livestock. It provides essential nutrients that contribute to optimal fertility, supporting conception rates and reproductive efficiency in breeding animals.
- Source of Forage Variety: Feeding alfalfa hay bales introduces dietary variety to livestock, enriching their eating experience and minimizing feed boredom. The distinct taste and texture of alfalfa hay encourage animals to consume their meals eagerly, promoting consistent intake of essential nutrients.

| A mixture of hardy, cool season grasses, that are drought tolerant and adapt well to the Northern Great Intermountain regions. It provides a good, palatable spring forage and fair regrowth in the fall. This mix may produce a hay crop depending upon available moisture. Widely adapted to many soil types and elevations of 3,000 to 10,000 feet. Ideal for areas not receiving regular irrigation. Grows 30-48 inches at full potential. Great forage and hay producer.
Seeding Rate:
- New Seeding Broadcast: 20-25 lbs/acre Drilled: 15-20 lbs/acre
- Overseeding Broadcast: 10-15 lbs/acre Drilled: 5-10 lbs/acre
Mix contains:
- 20% Tetraploid Perennial Rye (Lolium Perenne)
Bunchgrass with germination in 5-10 days. One of the most widely used grasses and is adaptable to a wide variety of soils and climate conditions. It is leafy and fine stemmed.
- 20% Smooth Brome, Lincoln (Bromus inermis)
Sod Forming grass with germination in 10-14 days Smooth brome is resistant to drought and extremes in temperature. Lincoln smooth brome is the most widely used of the cultivated brome grasses.
- 15% Paiute Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata)
Bunchgrass with germination in 14-21 days. One of the earliest species to exhibit growth in the spring, making tremendous forage potential during cool conditions. Performs well on different textured soils. Is a great forage and hay producer.
- 15% Hycrest Crested Wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum)
Bunchgrass with germination in 14-21 days. A hybrid cross between Standard and Desert wheatgrass, resulting in a plant with excellent seedling vigor that establishes quickly. It is taller and has higher forage yield potential than its parents.
- 15% Pubescent Wheatgrass (Agropyron trichophorum)
Cool season, sod-forming with germination in 21-28 days. Stays green into the summer months when soil moisture is adequate.
- 15% Dahurian Wildrye (Elymus dahuricus)
Bunchgrass with germination in 7 – 21 days. Deep rooted allowing good drought tolerance. Regrows aggressively after cutting and grazing, providing excellent palatable forage.
| This is the original Sweet PDZ product that was introduced in 1983. The key advantage of this small particle size is the fact that a person can more thoroughly and comprehensively cover the wet spot or problem area. This results in a faster acting performance of absorbing and adsorbing the ammonia and odor. Many Sweet PDZ users translate this faster performance to better performance, and will swear that the Sweet PDZ Classic/Powder outperforms Granular.
How it Works
Sweet PDZ is extremely effective at neutralizing and removing ammonia and odors, because of its two special properties:
- Absorption – Which is the sticking of the ammonia gas molecule to the surface of the Sweet PDZ granule. When the Sweet PDZ granules desorb, or dry out, the ammonia odor molecule is driven off the surface of the mineral as nitrogen. This is why spent (used) bedding material that includes Sweet PDZ, works so well as a slow release fertilizer or as an enhancement to composting.
- Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) – This is the liquid exchange aspect of Sweet PDZ’s odor neutralizing process. A sodium or potassium cation from the zeolite granule hydrolyzes (goes to liquid/urine) and the ammonium is exchanged and then becomes part of the Sweet PDZ granule. This liquid exchange works because the Sweet PDZ granules are always holding water.
