The value of Azolla as animal and poultry feed is brought out very clearly. Azolla in combination with Anabaena is an excellent source of nitrogen fixation in Paddy fields. Azolla has also medicinal properties and is used in Israel as a bioremediation agent since it sequesters heavy metals from groundwater. The blessings of Azolla are many and varied. Tamil Nadu is a national leader in poultry production. Over 50% of the cost of an egg goes to feed grains. The use of Azolla will help to minimize the cost of production and maximize quality.
