Halophytic and Salt-Tolerant Feedstuffs

Impacts on Nutrition, Physiology and Reproduction of Livestock

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The potential of halophytes as feedstuffs for livestock has been recognized for decades and their incorporation into has been advocated as a way to increase intake and mitigate the anti-nutritional compounds that reduce palatability and food value. This book details the interactions between halophytic feedstuffs and both ruminant and non-ruminant livestock. It summarizes years of experience from work in Egypt, Australia, the US, Mexico, Pakistan and the Middle East and sheds light on the problems and prospects for increasing the utilization of halophytes as animal feed and for rehabilitation of saline lands throughout the world.
