Alfalfa, also known as lucerne, is a legume crop that grows in the legume family Fabaceae. It is a major forage crop in many countries, and is used in many applications, including hay and silage. Alfalfa hay contains high amounts of protein, calcium, and vitamins. It is also a great source of energy. Because alfalfa is a legume, its roots work with bacteria in the soil to convert nitrogen in the air into plant protein. These nutrients make alfalfa a superior feed for animals.
