Growing <i>Azolla</i> to produce sustainable protein feed: the effect of differing species and CO₂ concentrations on biomass productivity and chemical composition

Abstract

By continuous harvesting, high protein yields can be obtained from Azolla cultures, without the need for nitrogen fertilization. High levels of (poly)phenols likely contribute to limitations in the inclusion rate of Azolla in animal diets and need further investigation. © 2018 The Authors.
