Alfalfa fibres
Plant fibres derived from alfalfa, used in animal feed, certain growing media and various plant-based products.
Alfalfa fibres come from alfalfa (Medicago sativa), a plant that has long been cultivated for its agronomic qualities and high fibre content. After harvesting and processing, they are used in various fields, including animal feed, agriculture and certain plant-based mixtures.
Alfalfa is valued for its natural fibre content and its ability to produce substantial biomass. The fibres obtained can be used on their own or incorporated into other plant materials, depending on the intended use.
A natural plant material
Alfalfa fibres come from the above-ground parts of the plant. They are generally dried and then processed to obtain a texture suited to their final use.
Various applications
Depending on their form and treatment, alfalfa fibres can be used in growing media, plant-based mixtures, animal feed or other agricultural and technical applications.
A recognised agricultural resource
Alfalfa is cultivated in many regions around the world. Its fibres are among the plant materials regularly used for their physical properties and natural origin.
