"Alfalfa dehydrated and pelleted directly after cutting, without field curing."
Raw alfalfa's chlorophyll, protein, and mineral content survives noticeably better here than in field-cured hay, because "direct" dehydration skips the sun and weather exposure that would otherwise degrade some of those nutrients before drying. Still a fiber/nutrient filler, not a nutritional centerpiece. Score: 6/10.
A real but unresolved concern: often an ongoing FDA/AAFCO research question (like the grain-free/DCM investigation), a common allergen, or a vague-but-not-alarming label claim. -2.5 pts deducted.
