“…In addition, Sharma et al (2017) showed the average daily gain was decreased by 19.3% in Murrah buffalo calves offered water with 8789 mg TDS/l compared with 557 mg TDS/l group. Similar results were observed in goats (Eltayeb, 2006), heifers (Weeth and Haverland, 1961;Saul and Flinn, 1985).…”

“…In addition, in goats, Mdletshe et al (2017) showed that the average daily feed intake was significantly (P<0.05) reduced with increasing salinity levels in drinking water in female goats from 0 to 5.5 and from 5.5 to 11 g TDS/l . Similarly, saline water decreased feed intake in sheep (Wilson and Dudzinski, 1973;El-Sherif and El-Hassanein, 1996), goats (Eltayeb, 2006;Mohammed, 2008;Zoidis and Hadjigeorgiou, 2017), heifers (Weeth et al, 1960;Weeth and Haverland, 1961), steers (Patterson et al, 2003(Patterson et al, , 2004López et al, 2014), beef cattle (López et al, 2016) and calves . In addition, in monogastric animals, saline water decreased feed intake in weanling pigs (Anderson and Stothers, 1978) and rabbits (Abdel-Samee and El-Masry, 1992).…”

Limited freshwater resources and climatic change are major challenge face animal production industry, especially in the arid and semiarid regions. Climate changes are reflected in global warming and rainfall reduction, which in turn may increase the salinity of both soil and water. Within the reclamation strategy, groundwater will be the main source of used water in cultivated desert lands in Egypt. However, the groundwater has high salinity and the cost of desalination is expensive. This review gives an overview of the impact of using saline water as an alternative source of fresh water to avoid water scarcity effect on the performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of farm animals. The ability of animals to tolerate saline water depends on the animal species, salinity level and the type of salt minerals in water. Some studies indicated that the animals' performance improved in low levels of salinity, but the performance decreased when the salinity levels was increased. In conclusion, this study implies that the saline water containing high concentrations of minerals mainly sodium chloride can largely affect the livestock productive aspects.

“…Moreover, Coles (1986) found that poor absorption of dietary constituents from the intestinal tract leads to hypoproteinemia. At the same time, higher salt intake might be another reason (Weeth and Haverland, 1961). In accordance, Tata and Widnell (1966) observed a decrease in total protein concentration due to drinking saline water which might possibly reduce hepatic synthesis of RNA which in turn depressed the incorporation of amino acids for protein synthesis.…”

o study the effect of feeding salt tolerant fodder crops during pregnancy under south Sinai conditions (Ras Sudr station) on some physiological responses of Shami goats, fourteen Shami doe goats aged 2.5-3.0 years old with averaged 25.07± 2.44 kg body weight were used and randomly divided into two equal groups (7 animals each) as follow: The first group (G1) fed berseem hay as control, while the second one (G2) fed a mixture of Atriplex nummularia (50%) + Sorghum bicolor (25%) + Pearl millet (25%). Both groups were supplemented with concentrate feed mixture (CDM). Live body weight changes and daily gain were recorded biweekly. Blood samples were collected from the all animals during dry, gestation (early, mid and late) for the determination of the biochemical parameters, electrolytes and hormones. The results revealed that live body weight and weight gain of control and the treated groups of doe goats were similar. Treated goats had slightly insignificant lower concentrations of TP, AL, GL, A/G ratio, and cholesterol with significant effect of pregnancy on total proteins profile. The mean values of TP, AL and GL significantly decreased (P<0.05) with advancing gestation periods. Glucose and aldosterone concentrations in treated pregnant goats showed significant (P<0.01) decrease as compared to the control animals. The significant interaction between treatment and physiological stage for ALT, ALP enzyme and insulin concentrations was for the reverse effect of each source of variance. While ALT, ALP enzyme and insulin increased by feeding salt tolerant plants but they were decreased by advancing pregnancy stages. Feeding a mixture of salt tolerant plants significantly decreased (P<0.01) the concentrations of urea and creatinine in comparison with control diet with insignificant increased throughout the gestation periods. The concentration of Na was affected significantly (P<0.01) by treatment and physiological status where it showed significant increase in the treated animals during different pregnancy stages. Potassium concentration was increased significantly from dry to reach peak during mid-gestation then declined again during late gestation compared to control animals. These results might indicate that salt tolerant plants could be a feasible solution to minimize the problem of animal feed shortage under arid conditions of Southern Sinai without sever physiological problems. These problems might be amplified due to the stress of pregnancy.

“…A small amount of absorbed Na is stored and Na in excess of their needs directly results in its increased excretion (NRC, 2001). Increased Na intake by sodium chloride addition in drinking water produced toxicosis in growing cattle (Weeth and Haverland, ). In this study, water intake was not found to be affected by Na added to the ET diet, neither did the increased Na due to alkaline treatment of straw cause any toxicity or reduced DM intake.…”

This study investigates the effects of feeding diet based on untreated (UT) or ensiled alkali-treated (ET) barley straw with either urea or casein supplementation, on feed intake, digestibility, ruminal pH, water intake and faecal and urinary characteristics. Four sheep fitted with ruminal cannulas were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Barley straw was treated by the dry (spraying) method in pH adjusted of hydrogen peroxide (pH 11.5), ensiled for 6 weeks and included at 65% of the diet dry matter (DM). The results showed that straw pH reduced from 11.58 to 8.60 after 6 weeks of ensilage. The ET diet increased average DM digestibility and intake by 19% and 43% respectively. Total water intake was similar across treatments, while the water/DM intake ratio was 23% higher with the UT diet than with the ET one. Ruminal (6.73 vs. 6.84) and faecal (8.67 vs. 9.05) pH decreased but urinary pH (6.14 vs. 8.13) increased as a result of feeding animals on the ET diet compared with the UT diet. Compared with the UT diet, the ET one decreased faecal fibre (12%), moisture (32%) and water holding capacity, while it increased faecal ash (10%) and density (20%). The volume of urine excreted by the sheep fed with the ET diet increased by 67%, but their urine specific gravity (SG) decreased. No significant effects were observed for the dietary N supplementation and interactions between straw type × N supplementation with regard to any of the measured characteristics except for DM intake, which reduced due to the casein supplementation in the ET diet. These results indicate that the alkali treatment and ensilage of barley straw increased digestibility, intake, faecal consistency and urinary pH and dilution but decreased straw alkalinity as well as ruminal and faecal pH.
