Nutritionally, white and alsike clovers are similar to alfalfa. |
Timothy and red-top should be seeded with it, and in the spring red and alsike clover should be added. |
Hay or pasture containing a large percentage of alsike clover is generally not recommended for horses. |
More especially should this be the aim if the alsike is sown to produce hay. |
In regions where red clover is declining on account of lack of lime, one may see some alsike. |
Horse owners should be able to recognize the different red, white, and alsike clovers so that poisoning can be prevented. |
