Hello every one,I am Akhilesh an agricuture graduate and at present I am second year student of Master in Social Entrepreneurship at Tata Institute of Social Sciences,Mumbai,India. During second semester I run successfully three month pilot project on “azolla as supplementary cattle feed” In village MilKi, Paliganj,District Patna,India.
Really azolla is WONDER FERN it has tremendous potential as cattle feed It has very high protein content and all essential amino acids and minerals. It is also used as poultry feed, goat feed, sheep feed, Fish feed and even for Human feed also. I am keenly interested in processing of azolla If any one having more information about azolla processing then it may great help for me……….If any confusion about azolla then plese mai me on : akhilesh.tiss@gmail.com
