“…Our study corroborates this finding. Fermentation also retains protein and amino acids, and when fed to chickens resulted in a significant increase in the perceived palatability of the chicken meat (Nuraini et al., 2022 ). Fermented Azolla livestock feeds have also been shown to improve growth rate of tilapia fed with feed mixes with 20% fermented A. caroliniana (Hundare et al., 2018 ).…”

Azolla caroliniana Willd. is an understudied wild edible plant native to the Eastern United States. Other species of Azolla have been used across the world for several thousand years as a livestock feed and as “green manure.” The use of Azolla for human consumption is thought to be limited by its high total polyphenolic content (TPC). However, the TPC and nutritional content of A. caroliniana has not been thoroughly studied. We measured TPC and other nutrients before and after cooking methods designed to lower TPC. We found that TPC was 4.26 g gallic acid equivalent (GAE) kg−1 DW in raw A. caroliniana. All cooking methods significantly lowered TPC. Protein content was 19% DW, and the apparent protein digestibility was 78.45%. Our yield was 173 g FW m−2 day−1 and 5.53 g DW m−2 day−1. Azolla caroliniana is a high‐yielding plant with great potential for cultivation and domestication.

“…-5.00 Higher crude fiber content may reduce the digestibility of Azolla due to the absence of enzymes, in poultry, to break down cellulose and hemicellulose. Thus, further processing is needed to break down the fiber components into digestible carbohydrates, for example, by applying enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose (Nuraini et al, 2022). Other processes are also required to reduce its biomass's water content to a suitable level as feed for the quail layer.…”

“…Based on It only requires around 10 to 15 days to mature, with a doubling time of merely 4 to 5 days, depending on the availability of nutrients and environmental conditions during cultivation (Azhar et al, 2018;Adzman et al, 2022). According to an earlier study (Nuraini et al, 2022), feed added with Azolla increased feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion of broiler chickens. Azolla is also functional as a substitute for urea in fish and livestock feed (Yuniati, 2013), green manure in paddy fields to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers (Brouwer et al, 2018;Bharali et al, 2021;Ssenku et al, 2022) and phytoremediator of heavy metals in water bodies (Sundararaman et al, 2021).…”

Azolla (Azolla microphylla) is a potential livestock feed due to its fast-growing and relevant nutrient content. Quail farming generates manure as a by-product that can be used as fertilizer to support plant growth. This study aims to determine the dose effect of fermented quail manure on the growth rate of Azolla, as well as the nutritional content of the resulting Azolla biomass. The data were obtained through observation in 20 Azolla culture ponds according to the design method throughout the research for the Azolla growth rate parameters and laboratory tests to analyze manure and Azolla proximate content at the end of the study. The results showed that treatment of 50, 100 and 150 g m-2 of quail manure gave similarly good effects on the Azolla growth parameters, indicating that the application of quail manure can significantly increase the production of Azolla biomass in culture ponds. The resulting Azolla biomass from all treatments gave a value of 93% to 95% moisture content, 18% to 19% ash content, 36% to 42% protein, 20% to 37% fiber, 2.8% to 4% fat and 5% to 6% carbohydrates. Looking at the big picture, therefore, 100 g m-2 manure treatment is considered the most optimal among the rest. Based on the result obtained, this study can provide an overview of the dose of quail manure that can be used to support the growth of Azolla.

“…The Azolla plant also contains probiotics, carotenoids, biopolymers, and glutamate [10]. In addition, it can be used as an antibacterial and antioxidant agent due to its high content of phenol [11]. Azolla is a floating aquatic fern that lives floating on the surfaces of waterways and in rice T Egyptian Journal of Veterinary Sciences https://ejvs.journals.ekb.eg/ fields Submerged in water, it is not alone, as it is associated with a type of algae that carries out a type of symbiotic living Azolla (Azolla) is one of the plants with semi-roots.…”

HIS STUDY was done to evaluate adding different levels of Azolla to the diet of Japanese quail, and study its effects on the carcass traits, and some serum blood characteristics. The experiment was carried out in the poultry farm of the animal production department/college of agriculture/ Kirkuk university from (18 th Feb to 18 th April, 2022). Twenty male and sixty females at age 40 days were randomly allocated to five treatments (0% , 4% , 8% azolla, 4% azolla + Enzyme, and 8% azolla + Enzyme), each treatment consist of four replications that contain 1 male and 3 females. The birds were kept in a battery system with ad libitum water and diet. At the end of the experimental period, five birds (1 male: 4 female) were randomly taken from each treatment; the birds were weighed by using digital scale (0.01 g), and slaughtered to complete bleeding, followed by plucking the feather and then reweighed. The main, and the secondary parts were all record. And the blood was taken to exam the level of some serum blood characteristics (total protein, Glucose, cholesterol, albumin, globulin, and uric acid). Our result indicates that adding Azolla for 4% increase the body weight and carcass weight significantly comparing with the other treatments. Moreover, adding the Azolla with enzyme enhance the parts weight compare with other treatments. Also, all the serum blood traits were affected significantly by adding azolla powder.
