The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Alfalfa Hay Market Report by Type (Bales, Pellets, Cubes), Application (Daily Animal Feed, Poultry Feed, Horse Feed, and Others), End User (Poultry, Cattle, Livestock, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” finds that the global alfalfa hay market size reached 271.7 Million Metric Tons in 2023. Alfalfa hay, also known as lucerne hay, is a forage source obtained from the alfalfa plant. It is a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and calcium and produced by harvesting the crop with a swather and drying it in strips. It is commonly used to feed cattle, ruminants, poultry, and horses. It is also cultivated for grazing, hay and silage, and as green manure and cover crop. Alfalfa hay has a higher nutrient content and is more palatable than other grasses. As a result, it is also used to manufacture nutritional supplements that aid in improving the immune system in animals.
Global Alfalfa Hay Market Trends:
The market is primarily driven by the growing consciousness regarding animal nutrition among the masses. In addition, the escalating demand for chemical-free meat and milk-based products represents another major growth-inducing factor. Besides this, as alfalfa hay is a cost-effective and environment-friendly feed alternative with a longer shelf-life, it is added to the cattle feed to improve the quantity and quality of milk produced. This, coupled with the increasing research and development (R&D) activities in the field of animal husbandry, is positively influencing the market growth. Moreover, key players are adopting innovative harvesting and processing machinery to manufacture long-fiber hay products and cubes with enhanced fiber content. Furthermore, the expanding agriculture industry, the rising scarcity of grazing lands, and the increasing number of cows raised by modern dairy farmers are some of the other factors creating a favorable market outlook across the globe. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach a volume of 416.5 Million Metric Tons by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
