How Azolla Can Reduce Animal Feed Cost
#3
Egg-type chicks


As in Bangladesh and India, the poultry industry as one of the most profitable business of agriculture in Nigeria, providing nutritious meats and eggs for human consumption within the shortest possible time, but the availability of quality feed at a reasonable cost is a key to successful poultry operation.

The Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Ibadan, Ibadan in Nigeriaconducted a program to increase the feed base production systems to locally available feed resources in developing countries.  Alalade & Iyayi’s (2006) study at the Faculty determined the chemical composition of Azolla meal and assessed its feeding value for egg-type chicks.  They reached the following conclusions that supported those of Basak et al. (2002):

 The chemical score index showed the potential of Azolla meal to be a good source of protein. Leucine, lysine, arginine and valine were the predominant essential amino acids while tryptophan and the sulphur-containing amino acids were deficient.

 Azolla meal has a potential as a feed for chicks. The inclusion of Azolla meal up to 10% improved performance of chicks.
