Discussion

Observational study assessed azolla's impact on nutrient utilization in goat bucks, suggesting its potential as a feed supplement.

Supplementation with azolla improved nutrient digestibility and nitrogen retention in goat bucks, indicating its effectiveness.
Azolla exhibited the highest concentration of crude protein and low methane production potential compared to other macrophytes.
The presence of heavy metals in the tested macrophytes remained below safe limits, ensuring their safe use as animal feed.
The study highlights the nutritional value of floating aquatic macrophytes as viable feed alternatives for livestock.

Bakshi et al. (2025) studied this question.
