Comprehensive evaluation of the nutritional value and contaminants of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in China by Xiaoyan Zhu, Xiaoyan Zhu, Xiaoyan Zhu, Wenxue Chen, Mengyao Li, Boshuai Liu, Boshuai Liu, Boshuai Liu, Shumin Zhao, Menglin Hu, Jiajing Li, Defeng Li, Defeng Li, Defeng Li, Yinghua Shi, Yinghua Shi, Yinghua Shi, Hao Sun, Hao Sun, Hao Sun, Chengzhang Wang, Chengzhang Wang, Chengzhang Wang

“…Nutritional value analysis and contamination evaluation are essential for sustainable utilisation to ensure the quality and safety of alfalfa.AimWe aimed to evaluate the nutritional value and safety of alfalfa in five major regions in China—the Northeast Plain (NP), Inner Mongolia Plateau (IMP), Northwest Desert Oasis (NO), Loess Plateau (LP), and Huanghuaihai Plain (HP).MethodsNinety-five samples representing 44 large-scale pratacultural companies were collected and analysed.ResultsThe average nutritional values of alfalfa hay were 16.43% crude protein (CP), 44.01% neutral detergent fibre (NDF), 33.22% acid detergent fibre (ADF), 10.78% crude ash (Ash), and 91.90% dry matter (DM), which were better in the NO and IMP areas; in particular, the α-linolenic acid value of alfalfa was the highest in the IMP area (p < 0.05). …”
