The aim of the paper is to revise the literature dealing with the studuies on the value of lucerne used for grazing. The results of recent investigations on lucerne and lucerne-grass pastures are reviewed. There are discussed some issues related to lucerne breeding, especially the tolerance and grazing persistence of lucerne cultivars, suitability of the grasses and other legumes to mixtures with lucerne, grazing systems, forage quality and the incidence of bloat in ruminants. Further research on lucerne-grass mixtures should be focused on breeding of lucerne cultivars tolerant to grazing and not leading to animals' bloats, taking also into account the grazing management systems
