There are several nutritional differences between legume hay and grass hay. In the United States, legume hays typically include alfalfa and clover. Grass hays include many varieties of grasses and can include the grain (oat) hays. One of the biggest differences between legume and grass hay is protein content. On average, legume hays contain much higher levels of protein. It is not uncommon for legume hays to contain in excess of 15% protein while grass hays typically will contain 10% protein or less.
