Alfalfa, Medicago sativa, also called lucerne, is a perennial flowering plant and important forage crop in many countries around the world.

Alfalfa is the most cultivated forage legume in the world. Worldwide production was around 436 million tons in 2006.

Alfalfa pellets or granules are high-density 100% pure alfalfa product. The granules could be used primarily as feed for high-producing dairy cows, because of its high protein content and highly digestible fiber, and secondarily for beef cattle, horses, sheep, and goats.
