Abstract

In terms of providing a low cost feeds for animal consumption, the nutrient component
for different species of aquatic plants were evaluated. This study emphasize on the
nutrition comparative between 5 species of aquatic plants such as Hydrilla verticillata
(order: Hydrocharitales), Pistia stratiotes (order: Arales), Chara corallina (order:
Charales), Myriophyllum spicatum (order: Haloragidales) and Azolla pinnata (order:
Salviniales) were collected at the selected area in Kelantan (6.1254o N, 102.2381oE). The
objectives of this study is to differentiate the nutrient component for five different species
of aquatic plants. The study shows that the crude fiber values for H. verticillata, P.
stratiotes, C. corallina, M. spicatum, and A. pinnata were 15.35±0.35%, 14.10±0.10%,
20.05±0.55%, 25.60±5.10% and 42.95±2.25% respectively. While the percentage of ash
content recorded for H. verticillata, P. stratiotes, C. corallina, M. spicatum, and A.
pinnata were 18.8%, 31.8%, 20.6%, 28.9% and 12.0% respectively. The organic matter
content for H. verticillata, P. stratiotes, C. corallina, M. spicatum, and A. pinnata were
81.20±0.10%, 68.20±0.10%, 79.40±0.20%, 80.80±0.10% and 88.05±1.45% respectively.
The crude protein value for H. verticillata, P. stratiotes, C. corallina, M. spicatum, and
A. pinnata were 23.18±0.13%, 16.89±0.08%, 22.30±0.13%, 22.78±0.76% and
21.70±0.09% respectively. While the microbial analysis based on total bacterial count for
H. verticillata, P. stratiotes, C. corallina, M. spicatum, and A. pinnata were 2.71CFU/mL,
2.88CFU/mL, 2.16CFU/mL, 0.49CFU/mL and 1.68CFU/mL respectively. In conclusion,
the nutrient component for five different species of aquatic plants can are differs from
each other. So, the nutrient for five different species of aquatic plants are suitable for
animal feed.
