Discussion on the impact of climate change on various aspects of life is of increasing concern to the scientific community. Providing food for the growing population in adverse climatic conditions is a major challenge. This includes the provision of high-quality animal feed. Applying environmental approaches in this direction is key to restoring ecological balance. In this study, we investigated the effect of novel biostimulants on the synthesis of amino acids in alfalfa. Green mass and alfalfa hay are high in protein and essential amino acids, the main indicators that determine the quality of the biomass produced. The use of biostimulants in this study leads to an improvement in the biological value of proteins - the total amount of essential amino acids is increased and the ratio of essential amino acids to the other proteinogenic amino acids is changed in favor of the essential and increased the nutritional value of feed. The results obtained are crucial for the successful implementation of green practices in agriculture.
