On the packaging of small animals food appear the following ingredients:

I don't know if the term "sinimailasyrtit" is correct (I've tried to translate it myself). Thank you for your feedback.

sinimailanen
Explanation:
alfalfa is indeed sinimailanen, and your sinimailasyrtit as a word is correct. I was only wondering, if this pea family plant is seen as 'a herb' here? Found some references to it, but often they just use simply 'sinimailanen' without the unclear 'yrtit' added. I'd just put 'sinimailanen 10 %'

ps. A-vitamiini, D-vitamiini (no capital v)
