Azolla is a water plant having unique and valuable biologically active compounds. These features allow to effectively use this plant as a biomass to boost fertility of soil, growth of plants and make them more resistant to mycoses.

In addition to its traditional cultivation as a bio-fertilizer for wetland paddy (due to its ability to fix Nitrogen into the soil), Azolla is finding increasing use for sustainable production of livestock feed.

Azolla is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals. Studies describe feeding azolla to dairy cattle, pigs, ducks, and chickens, with reported increases in milk production, weight of broiler chickens and egg production of layers, as compared to conventional feed.
