Development of animal feed from Azolla microphylla to increase production efficiency of goat farms in South of Thailand
These findings demonstrate that Azolla microphylla can effectively replace up to 50% of soybean meal in goat diets, offering a sustainable strategy to reduce production costs and enhance the efficiency of meat goat farming in southern Thailand. Further research is needed to optimize dietary formulations and improve the nutritional profile of Azolla to maximize its potential as an alternative feed ingredient.
