Alfalfa, as one of the most important forage crops, plays a significant role in providing livestock feed, increasing the productivity of livestock units, and sustaining the production of milk and meat. Producing high-quality fodder and reducing dependence on purchased inputs are among the effective factors in cost management and strengthening the livestock feed supply chain.
Alfalfa Harvesting Operation in Qasr-e Shirin
