Evaluation of mineral composition and in-vitro nutrient digestibility of macrophytes to assess their potential as sustainable animal feed

Key Points

• Nutrient digestibility in macrophytes shows promise for sustainable animal feed applications.
• Mineral composition analysis reveals significant levels of essential nutrients for animal diets.
• In-vitro analysis demonstrates the digestibility of nutrients in various macrophyte species, highlighting their value.
• Sustainable animal feed sourcing may benefit from integrating high-nutrition macrophytes into livestock diets.
