Hay - With Birdsfoot trefoil

[inzeos]

Wondering if anyone is familiar with Birdsfoot trefoil as an ingredient in hay mixes?

I found a local source, which bails primarily timothy hay; however, it also contains birdsfoot trefoil, which was described to me as the following;

"Birdsfoot trefoil is like a legume such as alfalfa. It is a good source of protein but is not as rough or sticky like alfalfa. And probably wont cause as much bloat or other problems in horses if that's what your feeding it to."

How much of the bale is the trefoil? Chins not used to legumes can get loose poo and have digestive issues. If its not alot, you can give it just go easy on the amount.

I'm not sure, I'll have to ask the farmer what he thinks the mix is.
