Alfalfa Lucerne

Alfalfa (Lucerne) – High-Protein Forage for Dairy and Livestock Feed

Product Overview

Alfalfa, also known as Lucerne (Medicago sativa), is a high-protein legume forage widely recognized as one of the most nutritious feeds for dairy cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. Naturally rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins A, D, and E, it improves milk yield, animal health, and reproductive performance. Its excellent fiber structure supports rumen activity and digestion, making it a cornerstone ingredient in modern ruminant nutrition.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply Premium Alfalfa sourced from controlled farms and processed under ISO 22000 Feed Safety Management Systems. Harvested at optimal maturity and sun-cured or dehydrated to preserve nutrient integrity, our alfalfa offers consistent color, aroma, and feed value. Available in both baled and pelleted forms, it ensures convenient handling and long storage life for bulk feed operations.
