What is Azolla??

Azolla is a great free floating fern which grows very well in the right conditions and can be put to many uses. As cattle feed it increases milk production in cows, as chicken feed it increases weight of chicken and eggs  as proven  by  the  SOLRAYA   ENTERPRISES,(free range chicken production),  as a biofertilizer it provides nitrogen supplement to plants and it can also be eaten by human beings.

Poultry - meat production

Recent studies have demonstrated that on conventional diets for young broiler chickens, replacing a protein source with Lemna meal retarded growth as levels increased (Haustein et al., 1992b, 1994) whereas layers produced efficiently (Haustein et al., 1990) and older broiler birds had excellent growth characteristics when fed relatively high levels of Lemna meal. This is of significance to the factory production systems for poultry where margins per bird are often small and small decreases in profitability per bird are important. The reduction in growth of young birds has little significance where Lemna meal would be used in a small farmer systems, particularly where birds balance their own diet by scavenging from cropping areas.

Duck production

Duckweed is perhaps named because ducks were observed to use it in the wild. The more omnivorous duck appears to utilise it highly effectively under field conditions. On sewage farms in the New England territory of Australia wild ducks so vigorously consumed duckweeds that they initially prevented the high growth rates needed to lower water nutrients to desired levels. In Vietnam duckweed produced on nutrients from animal and human waste is given fresh with cassava waste (Photos 8-12) to ducks. Duckweed provides both energy and protein and also a complement of essential minerals needed to grow ducks to a body composition and a weight for age that was needed by the excellent restaurant trade.

RUMINANTS

Unlike monogastric nutrition where feed analysis are indicative of nutrient availability to the animal, ruminants through their fermentative digestive system modify virtually all the protein and carbohydrate in the feed they consume. The nutrients become available as volatile fatty acids (which are the major energy source), and amino acids (produced by enzymatic digestion of microbial cells that have grown and been washed from the rumen in liquor). Forage proteins are in general, degraded to ammonia in the rumen and the animal depends on microbial protein for its essential amino acid supply. The efficiency of production is primarily dependent on the establishment of an efficient microbial ecosystem in the rumen. The potential use of duckweed in ruminants diets is two fold:

• as a mineral source to correct deficiencies of minerals in the diet for both rumen microbes and the animal
• an ammonia source for the rumen microbes.

These two roles are largely confined to the rumen since an efficient microbial digestive system is dependent on a full complement of essential minerals and a high level of ammonia in the fluid. Deficiency of minerals and/or ammonia (which may be produced from supplemental non-protein-nitrogen sources or by the degradation of dietary protein) results in a lowered microbial growth in the rumen with inefficient growth of the microbial milieu. The consequences of low microbial growth is a reduced protein relative to energy in the nutrients absorbed (see Preston & Leng 1986 for review) and often lowered digestibility of forage and reduced feed intake.

Ruminants under feeding systems found in most areas of the world are often deficient in an array of nutrients required by the microbial fermentative digestive system. This is the case, particularly when consuming mature dry forages or crop residues (straws/stubbles) and at times agro-industrial byproducts (e.g. sugar cane tops, molasses and fruit residues). Duckweed with its high mineral and protein content can provide an array of nutrients for the rumen microbes to function efficiently on such diets. These food resources are the basis of diets for ruminants in large areas of the world, particularly in countries that are considered to be developing. In this way a quantity of duckweed could replace the use of multi-nutritional supplements based on such things as molasses urea block licks (see Leng 1984).

Duckweed also has some potential as a dietary protein source that may be modified or may actually provide bypass protein that is required by productive animals to meet their extra requirements for essential amino acids (see Preston & Leng, 1986).

There are some preliminary research results where duckweed has been fed as a supplement to ruminants, but clearly there is a need for major research effort in this area to develop a clear definition of the strategic importance of duckweed as a N source, as a bypass protein source, as a source of essential minerals including S, P, Na, K, Mg and trace minerals.

A duckweed, corn silage diet (1:2) produced higher growth rates in Holstein heifers than a diet based on corn silage, concentrate and grass (Rusoff et al., 1978, 1980). These studies and preliminary studies at the University of New England indicate the high potential of duckweed as a supplement.

More recently Huque et al. (1996) have commenced work to examine duckweed as a source of N and minerals for ruminant animals in Bangladesh. In a study of the kinetics of the utilisation of duckweed dry matter and protein they used nylon bag incubation techniques to study the breakdown of duckweeds in the rumen of cattle. The duckweeds used in these studies were around 30% crude protein. Overall the studies illustrated that, in cattle fed forage and concentrate, the potential degradation of duckweed dry matter in the rumen was 85% (Spirodela), 72% (Lemna) and 93% (Wolfia). The protein of duckweed were highly soluble in the rumen at 24% (Spirodela), 42% (Lemna) and 18% (Wolfia) and overall 80, 87 and 94% respectively of the protein was apparently degraded in the rumen. At high feed intakes there was apparently some potential for a small amount of the protein from duckweeds to escape degradation in the rumen and provide essential amino acids directly to the animal.

It seems probable that dried duckweed will provide a readily fermentable protein source together with a rich mineral level needed for creating an efficient rumen for animals fed low protein forages such as straw. The extent that duckweed can correct mineral deficiencies in diets for ruminants will depend on the composition of the duckweed which in turn depends on the level of minerals in the water body growing the duckweed.

The major role of duckweed in ruminant diets is likely to be as a major source of minerals and ammonia-N for the rumen and future research should examine its strategic use to stimulate ruminant production on high mature forage diets.

In developing countries, ruminants often subsist on byproducts of agro-industries and crop residues that are often (mostly) low in minerals and a source of ammonia in the rumen. In many situations duckweeds would be a valuable resource to ensure that ruminants utilise these feeds effectively by providing a soluble N source (e.g. ammonia) needed by the cellulolytic organisms for protein synthesis and also a source of particularly P and S which are essential for microbial growth and therefore the animal (Preston & Leng, 1986).

From the research of Huque et al. (1996) it appears that duckweed would require treatment to protect its protein to produce a meal that will deliver protein to the intestines and produce a high protein to energy ratio in the nutrients absorbed that will further advance ruminant productivity from crop residues. The potential responses of cattle to both fermentable N (i.e. N sources that give rise of ammonia in the rumen such as urea or leaf proteins) and to bypass protein have been discussed in many publications. Duckweed might be able in the future through research to replace multi-nutrient blocks used in these feeding trials (Sansoucy, 1995)

Treatment method for duckweed, which provide say half the protein as protected and half soluble to give bypass protein to the animal and ammonia for the rumen microbial digestive system together with the minerals in duckweed could remarkably enhance meat and milk production by ruminants given crop residues that contain major nutrient deficiencies.

Smith and Leng (1993) incubated duckweed meal in rumen fluid from sheep where it was rapidly fermented with the production of ammonia. Unfortunately treatment by heat, formaldehyde or xylose - three methods that have been successful in turning soyabean meal into bypass protein had no effect on the rate of release of ammonia. However, these chemicals were only sprayed on the meal and it is probable that some heat is necessary to effect protection of the protein. Duckweed protein, like terrestrial plant leaf protein is not easily protected from rumen degradation by any presently known methodology.

It is possible that when the protein is at high concentrations in duckweed that some of it is as peptide, amino acid or non protein-nitrogen. On the other hand it could be that leaf proteins have failed to come into contact with the dilute solutions of protecting agents that are used to protect the finely prepared extracted seed meals such as soyabean (formaldehyde or xylose) and future research should examine the application of heat after spraying to complete the reactions.

FISH

Most intensive fish farms culture fish that have very high value on national or world markets. In these intensive systems the fish require feed with extremely high protein levels and a well balanced array of essential amino acids. This is quite often provided by high cost fish meals. These farming systems have achieved a high level of production but with high cost inputs (including feed, fresh water, and the prevention of pollution) which makes them expensive. In the context of this book, duckweeds are not easily accommodated into such high technology systems, even though with great care a dry meal with excess of 45% crude protein may be produced and it may be possible to blend this with fish meal as a major protein source for intensive fish farming.

Herbivorous fish are cultured in many parts of the world. They include many varieties of carp and tilapia which provide a protein source of high biological value for humans. These fish are often regarded as inferior in taste but they are of great benefit in the diets of poor people who are often financially confined to largely vegetarian diets. These diets may at times be deficient in essential amino acids, depending on the source and variety of vegetables available. In the same way as milk is a source of potentially deficient essential amino acids in resource poor people, particularly those who are vegetarians, fish can play the same role.

Fresh duckweed (and also the dried meal) is suited to intensive production of herbivorous fish (Gaiger et al., 1984) and duckweed is converted efficiently to liveweight gain by carp and tilapia (Hepher & Pruginin, 1979; Robinette et al., 1980; van Dyke & Sutton, 1977, Hassan & Edwards 1992, Skillicorn et al., 1993).

A major investment in duckweed aquaculture research in Bangladesh (see later) has potentially important repercussions particularly for the host countries where the research has been carried out. This research has been the single most important research in this area and has focussed world attention on duckweed both as a feed for freshwater fish and as a water cleanser (Skillicorn et al., 1993) and the book by these authors is mandatory reading for anyone becoming interested in this area.

The PRISM group initiated the pilot project in Bangladesh to develop farming systems for duckweed and to test its values as a fish feed in polycarp production.

The outcomes of this project points the way for the efficient use of duckweed in many situations. It has important lessons for the development of small farmer systems where integration of crop and animal production benefits from the use of duckweed's ability to scavenge and retain major mineral nutrients within the system.

Carp production

Introduction

Carp species are by far the most commonly cultivated freshwater fish in Asia. They grow under diverse conditions, tolerating reduced water quality in even stagnant water ways. Their greatest attribute is the ease with which they can be managed in ponds and the huge production potential under good environmental and nutritional conditions.

Different carp species tend to occupy different ecological niches and therefore a number of species that are highly selective in their dietary preferences can be places in the same pond and will occupy different feeding zones. The development of polycarp culture depends on maximally using the feed biomass in a pond system by having top feeders, middle feeders and bottom feeding fish. These include an herbivorous species capable of feeding on surface plants or plants accessible on the sides of the pond or fed to them freshly harvested from another site as would be the case with duckweed; Two middle feeders which feed on either zooplankton and/or phytoplankton that grow on the detritus produced by the top feeders and a bottom feeding species which use the faecal materials produced by the middle and upper feeding fish.

Carp polyculture depends on most of the fish being produced on the zooplankton and phytoplankton (up to 85%). Providing extra feed for the surface feeders may increase carp production and it was a major reason for establishing the PRISM projects at Mirazapur as the surface feeders were restricted to very low stocking rates because of the small availability of plant biomass from the pond edges.

The polycarp systems depend on balancing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and maintaining oxygen levels in the water. Aeration and fertiliser use rates are critical in this way. BOD is created by:

• • high densities of phytoplankton that respire at night
  • the high oxygen demand from the heavy stocking rate of fish
  • microbial aerobic degradation of organic matter.

In a traditional manure fed water body for polyculture of carp the main consideration is at what rate should the manures be fed to the water body? Stocking rate then is determined by the resultant demand for oxygen.

The special aspect of carp production from duckweed is that it can be set up using a single species of surface feeding carp or it can be used in polyculture to increase the total stocking rates. By providing fresh duckweed daily which does not decompose and can be fed ad lib, the top feeding carp densities might be increased together with an increase in bottom feeders increasing stocking density overall.

As the biochemical oxygen demand is turned down by reduced aerobic degradation of plant materials (that is replacing dead plant materials with live duckweed), the fish levels can increase to an extent that their respiration approaches the oxygen needs for the degradation of the organic matter entering the pond. The incremental production of the top feeders (Grass, Catla and Mirror carps) and bottom feeders (Mrigal carp) represents the potential extra production from a duckweed system (Skillicorn et al., 1993).

Duckweed-fed carp polyculture

The reader should refer to Skillicorn et al. (1993) for the most authoritative discussion of this subject.

In this document I will take the main issues from these authors. The major arguable criticism of Skillicorn et al. work put forward here is that it is too sophisticated for simple application by a small farmer. Resource-poor farmers need considerable economic support to set up fish farming. It becomes more complex where there is an attempt to integrate the farm in order for it to be sustainable. Under these conditions the use of artificial fertiliser as used in the Mirazapur project limits the application by small farmers. Fertilisers are often too expensive to use even for rice crop production, for example, much of the rice grown on small farms in Vietnam depend on recycling of nutrients via pig manure and fertilisers are either not used or are used sparingly. At the present time the financial crisis in Asia is likely to make fertilisers more expensive and it can be anticipated that there will be decreasing grain production in Asia over the next few years. Despite these reservations about their approach Skillicorn et al. (1993) have provided immensely valuable data which is essential for future small-farm systems to develop. It will be particularly important for the establishment of manure fed duckweed aquaculture and systems based on manure/biogas.

Studies
• Anti-Inflammatory: Study of ethanol extract showed antiinflammatory activity.
• Antihypertensive: Study showed the oral administration of aqueous extract significantly lowered blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Results suggest GPE may be useful for prevention and treatment of hypertension through increasing NO (nitric oxide) production in blood vessels.
• Glucose Lowering: Ethanolic extract of leaves significantly suppressed elevated serum glucose levels in diabetic rats. The extract did not significantly suppress glucose levels in normal rats. Results conclude the leaves of GP may be biguanide-like activity.
• Abundant Leaf Proteins / Peroxidase: Study found few abundant proteins from the leaves of GP; among these, peroxidase was found the most abundant of the extracted proteins. Results suggest a natural source for peroxidase for use in the cosmetic and skin care industry.
• Nutritive / Antioxidative Properties: Ethanolic Gynura extract exhibited the highest antioxidative properties in every assay. Nutritive evaluation suggests the extract is a good protein source and may have positive effects on free radical scavenging and iron chelating.
• Gynura procumbens Medical Toothpaste: A Gynura procumbens toothpaste invention consists of" gynura procumbens (Lour.) extractant of 1-20%, glycerol of 20-55%, diglycol of 10-15%, abradant of 20-45%, carboxymethyl cellulose of 0.5-1.5%, sodium dodecyl sulfate of 0.5-2%, additive of 1-4%, essence of 1-2% and saccharin of 0.1-1%.
• Anti-Ulcerogenic: Study results suggest the ethanolic leaf extract of Gynura procumbens promotes ulcer protection as shown by significant reduction of ulcer area, histologic decreases in ulcer areas, with absence or reduction of edema and leucocyte infiltration of submucosal layer.
• Anti-Diabetic: (1) Study evaluating the water extract of G. procumbens in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats showed a hypoglycemic effect by promoting glucose uptake by muscles. (2) Study results suggest the antidiabetic effect may be mediated through the stimulation of glucose uptake and the potentiation of insulin action.
• Toxicological Evaluation: Administration of a methanol extract of G. procumbens did not produce mortality or significant changes in various parameters in both acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies.
