Abstract Pakistan's conventional feed supply is rapidly depleting, forcing the country to turn to non-conventional sustainable feed to meet the demand of the livestock and fishery sectors. The current study investigates the effect of pH on the nutritional composition of Lemna minor L., a freshwater macrophyte and a potential alternative feed. Fronds were grown in a pH range of 4–10 and replicated three times. The growth rate was highest (90 gm− 2 Day− 1) at pH 7 while lowest (40 gm− 2 Day− 1) at pH 4. Protein content dropped sharply at pH 4, but the highest (31g/100g) was found at pH 7 and 8. The lipid fraction was high at pH (9,10), while low in acidic. Carbohydrate was maximum (59.3 g/100g dw). A higher level of Ca (34, 37,38 mg/100g dw) was observed in pH 5 and 6 while low content (24 mg/100g dw) in the control group. In contrast, the Mg level slightly increased with increasing pH while the maximum concentration (32 mg/100g dw) was observed at pH10 and in the control group. High Fe moiety (936mg/100g) was found at pH 5 and 6. Elevated Mn (3.0mg/100g) was seen at a slightly acidic pH. The lowest level of Mn, 1.7 mg/100 and 2.0 mg/100 were recorded at pH 9 and 10 respectively. The highest fraction of Zn (0.08mg/100g) was observed in pH 6 and 7 while the lowest Zn came at pH 9. The study concluded that Lemna minor grows best between pH 6–10 under the agroclimatic conditions of Pakistan with optimal nutritional profile.
