Alfalfa, a perennial legume belonging to the family Leguminosae, is known for its long-term productivity, typically lasting 6 to 8 years. It can be harvested up to four times annually, yielding between 3,000 to 5,000 kilograms of fresh forage per acre. This versatile plant can be fed to livestock either fresh, sun-dried, or processed into pellets. In rabbit diets, alfalfa hay can make up 50% to 90%, providing essential nutrients and fiber.
Another valuable forage option is chicory (Prunella), which features erect stems and exhibits strong resistance to drought, poor soil conditions, and salinity. Rich in nutrients, it has a high crude protein content—reaching 22.87% during the leaf stage and dropping slightly to 14.73% during the early flowering stage. When fed to rabbits, this herb is highly palatable and efficiently utilized, with an impressive 100% utilization rate. Mixing it with quail feed has shown particularly positive results, enhancing both growth and health.
Winter rye, specifically the variety known as "Winter Grazing - 70 Rye," is another excellent choice for green feed. It produces an impressive yield of 5,000 to 7,000 kilograms of fresh grass per acre. Known for its hardiness and nutritional value, it is especially rich in vitamins and has excellent taste, making it a preferred feed for rabbits during early spring when other forage options are limited. Its resilience and high nutrient content make it a key component of sustainable rabbit feeding programs.
