At last weekend’s famer’s market, the super nice Uluwehi farm folks brought me some Azolla. This is an aquatic fern which might prove to be an easily grown local feed for chickens. I brought it home and put it in some water with a little horse manure dissolved. It started growing right away:
I have updated the chicken notes page with a whole new page for Azolla as a Feed for Chickens.
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.

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
