A study was conducted to see the effect of feeding of fresh Azolla (Azolla pinnata) on the performance of White Pekin laying ducks (60 nos, 56 weeks) divided into three groups (each group had four replicates with five laying ducks per replicate) and were randomly fed three diets i.e. T1-control diet (Standard duck layer diet(SDLD)), T2 (SDLD reduced by 10% + fresh azolla @ 100g/duck/day) and T3(SDLD reduced by 20% + fresh azolla @ 200g/duck/day). The Azolla contained 4.74 % dry matter (DM); 24.93% crude protein (CP); 3.48% ether extract (EE); 13.80% crude fibre (CF), 16.84% total ash (TA) and 40.95 % nitrogen free extract (NFE). Egg production and egg weight increased significantly (P ICAR |
