University of Kerbala Launches a Project for the Propagation of Azolla Plants

The College of Agriculture at the University of Kerbala has launched a pioneering project for the propagation of Azolla plants, which are considered among the most efficient natural alternatives to traditional animal feed.

Azolla is known for its high nutritional value, containing elevated levels of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it an ideal choice as a complete food source for livestock.

The project offers several benefits, including reduced production costs, as farmers can save on expenses by using Azolla as an alternative feed. It also enhances the quality of animal products by increasing the nutritional value of livestock.

The aim of the project is to bring about positive changes in the animal production sector and contribute to improved livelihoods and sustainable development.
