Successful milk production in a dairy farm always relies upon a balanced diet of the animals, with a correctly formulated ration prepared using feedstuffs of high nutritive value.
This is especially important in the case of forage products, whose fibre content affects both the intake of the cows and the digestibility of the ration.

The "ideal" forage for a dairy cow is considered to be one with a sufficient fibre content to stimulate the rumination process, but which does not however remain too long in the first stomach chambers, as this would cause the animal to limit its intake.

From this perspective, alfalfa is without doubt the product whose nutritive properties most closely answer the above requirements, fully justifying its designation as the "queen of forages" for the diet rations of high-producing dairy cows.
