Abstract
Two feeding trials were conducted to study the economics of utilizing a water fem, Azolla sp.
in broiler rations. Azolla was incorporated at 0,5,l0,15 and 20 per centlevels to replacea protein
mix containing wheat bran and groundnut cake (53:47) up to 5 weeks of age in the first trial
and to replace a protein mix containing wheat bran and fish meal (52:48) up to 8 weeks of age
in the second trial. The birds receiving5 per centAzolla in both the trials performed significantly
well (P < 0.01) and gave better economic returns viz. 15 and 16 per cent gain over other groups.
The findings of this study indicated that the incorporation of Azolla as rt feed ingredient at 5
per cent level in broiler rations could provide promising economic returns.
