Abstract
The term halophytes are plants that can occur ina wide range of salinities. Halophytes can tolerate high levels of salinity inwater and soil and some extent drought. It grows in water of high salinity, coming into contact with saline water through its roots or by salt spray such asin saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, marshes and sloughs and seashores. Halophytes are plants which tolerate even demand sodium chloride concentrationsin the soil water they absorb. The plants, which grow in saline habitats, arecalled halophytes. There is high concentration of salts like sodium hydroxide, magnesium sulphate etc. in these habitats. There are 80 species of halophytes inEgypt, belonging to 32 genera and 17 families. The concentration of salts inhalophyte feeds, especially halophyte forages, will restrict the amounts offorage used in livestock feeding systems. Salts are causing tow problems: 1- Dilution of organic constituents led to decrease energy density in the feeds; and 2 – A potential direct effect on feed intake or physiological status ofanimals. Most, Ash content of halophytes is high relative to that of non- halophytic species. Ash content can be as 200 g / kg for shrubs irrigated withsweet water and as high as 300 to 400 g / kg under saline conditions. Thepresent article review summarizes the utilization of some halophyte forages suchasSalicornia bigelovii Torr , Atriplexspecies, Acaciaspecies andKochia indicafor feeding animals. SalicorniabigeloviiTorr is a halophytic oilseed crop tolerant to seawaterirrigation. It yielded up to 18 tons per hectare of dry matter biomass underseawater irrigation. The seeds representing 10 – 15% of the harvest weight, contained 30-33% CP, 26-33% Oil, 5-7% CF and 5-7% ash. Straw contained 4-6% CPand 30-45% ash consisting mainly 0f NaCl.. Also, this article explains thechemical composition, nutritive values and using these halophytes in the feedingsystems of livestock.

The present study was designed, to evaluate theeffect of some herbs on gas production, energy values, organic matterdigestibility, microbial protein and methane production,in vitro. Theexperimental design was a completely randomized design in two factors (CRD in 2factors). Anin vitrogas production technique simulate the rumenfermentation process have been used to evaluate the potential of feeds to supplynutrients for ruminants and test the rank of herbs and spices according to theircapacity in lowering of the methane production. Ground samples (100 mg DM) of30% wheat straw and 70% concentrate were incubated in 50 ml glass syringes withrumen fluid obtained from fistulated sheep fed berseem hay and commercialconcentrate mixture (twice a day). The herbs and spices tested were ginger(Zingiber officinale), garlic cloves(Allium sativum), andgarlic pulp and garlic juice. These spices (ginger, garlic cloves and garlicpulp) were added at the level of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, and 3% of concentratewhile, garlic juice was added at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 5 ml/kg DM. Cumulative gasproduction was recorded at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of incubation andthe kinetics of gas production was described by using the equation Gas (t)= a+ b (1- e-ct). At 24 h, gas production volume was the highest value forsample which contain garlic juice at level (5 ml/kg DM) (P<0.05) and greaterthan for other levels of garlic juice (3, 2, 1, and 0.5 mg/kg DM, respectively) and ration which contains ginger at level (0.1%) (P<0.05) than other rationscontained garlic cloves and garlic pulp sample or control. Total gas productionat 96 h and the maximum rate of gas production increased when garlic juice wasadded to samples. Also, the results showed that the same trend and weresignificant differences (p<0.05) and higher in metabolizable energy and netenergy, dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, short chainfatty acids and microbial protein for using garlic juice and ginger withdifferent levels than garlic cloves, garlic pulp, and control. Also, using ofgarlic juice and ginger with different levels in the concentrate reduced methaneproduction with 70-77 % compared with the control. In an overall conclusionseems that, the additions of herbs improved the rumen fermentation and reducemethane production.
