Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), also known as lucerne, is a perennial flowering legume celebrated as the “Queen of Forages” due to its exceptional nutritional value, digestibility, and yield potential. Globally cultivated, it is widely used for grazing, hay, silage, and green manure, making it a versatile solution for both livestock feeding and soil enrichment.
Its deep root system (extending over 15 meters) provides outstanding drought tolerance and enhances soil stabilization, while its ability to fix nitrogen naturally improves soil fertility for companion crops. With high protein content, alfalfa boosts meat and milk production in cattle, goats, sheep, and other livestock, making it an essential component of modern, sustainable farming systems.
