The present study was undertaken to study the effect of varying levels of duckweed supplementation on in vitro utilization of concentrate mixtures replacing 1/3 CP of soybean, 2/3 CP and 100% CP of soybean with duckweed. It was found that the net gas production was significantly decreased as the duckweed supplementation level increased in the concentrate ration. It was significantly higher in control and concentrate 2(1/3 duckweed) and significantly lowest in concentrate 4 (100% duckweed). The partition factor (PF) was significantly lowest in concentrate 2 followed by control and concentrate 3(2/3 duckweed) and significantly higher in concentrate 4 (100% duckweed). The OMD, NDFD & True Digestibility was significantly higher in control but it was statistically comparable in duckweed supplemented concentrate ration. The MMP and EMMP was statistically comparable between control and 1/3 duckweed supplemented concentrate but it was significantly higher in concentrate 4(100% duckweed). The ME value was significantly lower in concentrate 4(100% duckweed) and statistically higher in control and 1/3 duckweed concentrate rations. It can be concluded that duckweed meal can be replaced upto 1/3 protein of soybean without any adverse effect.
