Shedding is more under the control of hours of daylight and general 
nutritional status. The body heat factor won't help particularly, but other 
constituents of alfalfa such as vitamin E, etc., can help with shedding.  
(BTW--having adequate selenium in the diet is a factor in timely shedding, 
too.)
