The study examines plant height, green forage (GF) and dry matter (DM) yields of 24 domestic (Serbian) alfalfa cultivars released over the 1964-2007 period. The long-term research results suggest that alfalfa cultivars grown under different agroenvironmental conditions gave on average 65.6 t/ha GF i.e. 15.3 t/ha DM. The content of crude proteins was 162.2-223.8 g/kg DM (199.6 g/kg DM on average), that of crude fibres wasa 213-326 g/kg DM (261.8 g/kg DM on average), and NFE content was 315.3-427.5 g/kg DM (392.0 g/kg DM on average). Additionally, the paper gives an overview of the chemical composition, nutritive value and amino acid composition of dry matter (4,136 samples) at different crude protein contents, vitamin content and quality of processed alfalfa products. It also outlines healing and prophylactic properties of alfalfa.
