The study conducted at the South Sinai Research Station of the Desert Research Center, Egypt, from May to November 2023. The trial involved 45 eight-week-old NZW female rabbits. These were randomly assigned to three dietary groups: a control group fed a standard concentrate diet, a group where 50% of soybean protein was replaced with Azolla (G\u0399), and a group where soybean protein was completely replaced with Azolla (G\u03a0). Findings revealed that the G\u0399 group (50% Azolla replacement) achieved superior growth performance throughout the study period. Conversely, the G\u03a0 group (100% Azolla replacement) experienced a significant reduction in body weight during later growth stages. Regarding productivity, no marked differences among the groups were observed in birth numbers. However, birth mortality rates were notably lower in the G\u03a0 group, despite a significant reduction in kit weights during the first four weeks postpartum. Biochemical analyses showed that Azolla inclusion affected blood parameters based on supplementation level and duration. In the first month, the G\u03a0 group exhibited elevated total protein and globulin concentrations alongside a reduced albumin-to-globulin ratio, while the trend reversed in the second month. During pregnancy, total protein and globulin levels increased in both supplemented groups. Additionally, Azolla influenced kidney and liver function markers, lipid profiles, immunoglobulin concentrations, thyroid hormones, and reproductive hormones, with variations noted across groups and stages of the experiment. Therefore, partial replacement of soybean meal protein with 50% dried\n                    <jats:italic>A. pinnata<\/jats:italic>\n                    improved growth performance without adverse effects on reproductive outcomes or biochemical balance in NZW female rabbits. However, complete replacement (100%) negatively impacted growth and certain productivity parameters, indicating that while Azolla has beneficial properties, its optimal use lies in partial substitution rather than total replacement to maintain rabbit health and performance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11250-026-04966-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]],"date-time":"2026-03-31T19:13:50Z","timestamp":1774984430000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of dried Azolla pinnata supplementation on growth, biochemistry, and reproduction in female rabbits"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Omnia Y.","family":"Abd-Elfadiel Hagag","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammed","family":"Ahmed-Helmy El-Rayes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmed S.","family":"El-Hawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhou I.","family":"Nabil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1051-6997","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nahla Soliman","family":"El-Shenawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"4966_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abdelatty 1-AM, Mandouh MI, Mousa MR, Mansour HA, Ford H, Shaheed IB, Elolimy AA, Prince A, El-Sawy MA, AbuBakr HO, Bionaz M (2021) Sun-dried Azolla leaf meal at 10% dietary inclusion improved growth, meat quality, and increased skeletal muscle Ribosomal protein S6 kinase \u03b21 abundance in growing rabbits.
