Production of milk, solids-not-fat, fat-corrected milk, milk fat and milk protein were lower for cows on sainfoin hay than for those fed alfalfa hay in 2 switch-back trails. Hay and grain consumption did not differ for cows receiving the different hays. In a palatability study, 6 mo. old heifers preferred sainfoin hay to alfalfa hay. Metabolism studies with mature rams gave digestible coefficients of 65, 63.3, 59.2, 31.6 and 85.5% for dry matter, protein, ether extract, crude fiber and N free extract portions of sainfoin hay. Digestibilities with steers were 59.6, 44.9, 67.4, 35.1 and 72.9%. Average daily gain and feed consumption did not differ for 319 kg heifers full-fed either sainfoin or alfalfa hay for 60 days.
