The samples of lucerne were collected from twelve different locations in Vojvodina during the summer period July– September 2004. Raw lucerne trees were cut on the height of 4–5 cm under the ground in the amount of 2–3 kg. The samples were air-dried, ground, powdered and mineralized by the method of dry burning. The content of minerals, toxic elements and radionuclides in the samples of lucerne was determined. Due to low concentrations of detected toxic elements and radionuclides and contents of micro- and macro-elements, the obtained results indicate that alfalfa from the examined localities is a healthy and ecology sound feed component. However, with the aim of protecting the environment and preservation of human health, continuous surveillance of the content of toxic elements and radionuclides in lucerne, particularly in localities with increased risk of contamination, is necessary. Special attention should be given to the content and origin of mercury in soil and a possibility of contaminating plants with this toxic element. The obtained results could serve as a base for further investigations, regarding radiation-hygienic control of herbal feedstuff for animals.
