On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Cubitt and Katy discuss questions listeners and followers have sent in about alfalfa misconceptions and feeding alfalfa to horses. A few of the questions we cover in this episode are “Does alfalfa make horses hyper from the protein? Will it make horses ‘hot’? Will too much protein from alfalfa and feed cause gas colic? Does alfalfa make horses urinate more?” and more.
