Not really, but sometimes it can be, especially if you don't know when to feed it to cattle. Feeding alfalfa hay (straight alfalfa, mind you, with no grass) when cattle are really hungry will invite problems with bloat. Though the bloat won't be as severe as if you put them on fresh alfalfa, it still will be serious enough that you can't let it go untreated. Thus most producers prefer to feed hay that includes grass mixed in with alfalfa to have that extra roughage content so cattle won't bloat as readily.

Is there a difference between alfalfa hay and alfalfa meal?
There is. Alfalfa hay is exactly that, hay. Your horse should never eat a first or second cutting. This is usually what dairy cows eat, the protein content is too high for a horse. Alfalfa meal is chopped alfalfa hay mixed with other things incuding molasses. Horses love alfalfa meal and it is a great thing to feed if you have a 'hard keeper'. (a horse that is hard to keep weight on) But remember, just like any sweet feed or grain it has a higher protein percentage and can make your horse run a little 'hot'.
