Azolla pinnata contains a high nutritional value with a high
protein content of 25%, so it can be used as an alternative to animal feed.
The low production of Azolla is caused by the suboptimal use of fertilizers.
This study aims were to determine the type of manure (composted manure
from poultry, goats, and rabbit) which was the most optimal in producing
Azolla. Azolla pinnata was planted at 50?50×10 cm (W×L×H) soil pools
coated with plastic sheets. To maintain the acidity of the media, 10% (2 kg)
of sludge fields was added to each pond. Water and animal waste compost
(5 g/L) were added to each pond as a treatment. The treatments were: paddy
mud (K0), paddy mud + poultry composts (K1), paddy mud + compost
rabbit manure (K2) and paddy mud + compost goat manure (K3). Each
treatment was repeated 5 times. Measurements made were pH of the media,
area of cover, yield (g weight of dry matter) and crude protein content of
Azolla. Harvesting was done every 14 days. The results showed that the
Azolla dry matter production of K1, K2 and K3 treatments were greater
(p<0.01) than K0 (20.80, 18.20, and 19.00 vs. 10.40 g/2,500 cm2;
respectively). Among the compost treatments, the crude protein content of
K1 and K2 were higher than K0 and K3 (25.34 and 26.25 vs. 13.11 and
22.96%, respectively; p<0.01). Fertilizing with rabbit or poultry compost
was the best in improving Azolla production and crude protein content
