Feeding Duckweed to Pigs? - Henlus - 01-12-2015
I read that duckweeds can be fed to pigs. I think this will be a very cheap source of protein to the pigs, especially if you dry it. Duckweed grows very fast - it can double its weight in less than 2 days under the right condition. I wonder if you know anybody utilizing duckweed for any animal.

That would be hard to find. I doubt if most people even know about it.

Not yet, this is like a long term plan for me. If I should grow duckweed, I need at least a hactare of land where I will add it to other forms of farming.
