Le foin est composé principalement de plantes fourragères de la famille des graminées et des légumineuses. Parmi les graminées, on retrouve la fléole(ou mil), le brome, le dactyle, alors que les principales légumineuses sont la luzerne et le trèfle. La production de foin sec à haut contenu en légumineuse est complexe au niveau du séchage et de la conservation. Le foin de graminées ou à prédominance de graminées est plus facile à récolter et à sécher et il est bien adapté pour les chevaux.

Clover hays are similar to alfalfa hays because they are legumes. Clover hay is usually mixed with grass hays. There are five kinds of clover hay: red, common white, crimson, alsike, and landino. White and landino clovers are usually grown for pasture. The other three contain 14 to 16 percent crude protein.

Le haras de Percherons était bien établi en 1940 [...] Les coûts de l'alimentation pour tous les aspects de la production animale étaient enregistrés. La station a mené des essais avec des ensilages de trèfle à partir de 1939 et a démontré l'avantage du trèfle par rapport au foin pour notre climat. En 1947, l'ensilage de trèfle avait remplacé en grande partie les tubercules comme fourrage succulent.
