Alfalfa seeds find application across a spectrum of industries, reflecting the versatility and adaptability of this resilient crop. For example, alfalfa seeds are primarily utilized as a high-quality feed ingredient for livestock, including dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.

Also, humans consume alfalfa seeds directly due to their nutritional benefits. They can be sprouted and added to salads, sandwiches, wraps, and smoothies, providing a crunchy texture and a mild, nutty flavor.

In addition, alfalfa seeds are commonly used as a cover crop in agricultural systems to improve soil health and prevent erosion.
