Abstract | ||||
A qualitative and quantitative study of the protein content of roots, stems and leaves of Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Family: Potederiaceae) and Pistia sratiotes L., (Family: Aracaceae), were carried out. This study revealed that these plants contain a large percent of nutritive proteins which include high percentage of essential amino acids covering the requirements of birds (Turkey) and animals. | ||||
