Abstract: The present study was conducted to assess the chemical composition of Azolla at different stages of growth and effect on body weight gain in deoni calves. Six ponds were prepared for cultivation of azolla. The azolla samples were collected from each pond on day zero and from day 7 to 17th day of cultivation. Twelve deoni calves divided into two groups with 6 calves each. One group has given half kg of farm made calf ration and calves in second group were supplied with ration with 30% replacement of farm made calf ration with 15% DDGS+15% azolla powder. Dry matter in azolla samples ranges from 93.66 to 94.22 %. Maximum crude protein was found on day 11th which was 23.20% and ranges from 22.4 to 23.20 %. Crude fiber level in azolla ranges from 12.63 to 12.99 %. NFE range found was 47.35 to 47.82 %. No significant difference found in ether extract and acid insoluble values. No-significant change was found in weight gain of deoni calves in both of the groups.
