Lucerne, also known globally as Alfalfa, is a nutrient-dense perennial legume and one of the best sources of green fodder for livestock. It is known as the “Queen of Fodder” due to its rich protein content (15–20%), high digestibility, and excellent palatability across all ruminants.
Lucerne grows well in both tropical and temperate climates, provides multiple harvests annually, and fixes nitrogen in the soil, improving land fertility. Ideal for goats, sheep, cows, buffaloes, horses, and other animals that thrive on protein-rich feed.
