Auswirkung der Fütterung von Rotklee- bzw. Luzernetrockenblatt auf die Körperkondition laktierender Sauen

Red clover and alfalfa contain high amounts of crude protein. To improve the protein digestibility for monogastric animals, a separation of the leaf mass from the fibre rich stems is suggested. To evaluate the application potential of dried leaf mass of alfalfa and red clover as a protein rich feed component for lactating sows, body condition measurements were used as possible indicators for feed acceptance and suitability of the respective trial components when feeding a standard organic compound feed as control, a compound feed containing 10 % dried leaf mass of red clover or alfalfa.
