Effects of variation in herbage sodium levels and salt supplementation on the nutritive value of perennial ryegrass for sheep

Abstract: Six groups of five 18-month-old wether sheep received a diet of dried grass ad libitum with a pelleted ground barley/oat supplement containing various levels of salt for 30 d. The first group received grass of high Na concentration (7-3 g per kg DM) with no added salt in the supplement, a second group received low sodium grass (4-2 g per kg DM) with no salt additions, and the other four groups received the low sodium grass with varying levels of salt added to the supplement to provide a final dietary Na concen… Show more

“…In this study, increasing the Na intakes, particularly at the high K intake, decreased the apparent absorption of Mg whereas in sheep increased Na intakes increased the apparent Mg absorption (Moseley & Jones 1974;Moseley 1980). However, as the urinary Mg excretion increased with Na intake, the overall apparent Mg retention was decreased (Moseley 1980).…”

However, as the urinary Mg excretion increased with Na intake, the overall apparent Mg retention was decreased (Moseley 1980). A decrease in the plasma Mg levels has been observed in both cows and sheep (Moseley 1980) fed indoors as well as in grazing beef cattle on high K pasture recently topdressed with 100-200 kg NaCI/ha (Smith et al 1983).…”
