| Abstract | ||
| Four mature male camels (Camelus dromadarius) were used in a completely random design to determine apparent digestibility Salsola spp (SS), Hammada salicornica (HS), Suaeda fruticosa (SF), Alhagi camelorum (AL). Digestion trials were conducted to method of total faecal collection with out of the fixed faeces collection bags. Lucerne hay (LH) was used as a basal feed for measuring the digestibility coefficients (DC) of other feeds by difference. Crude protein (CP) of SS, HS, SF and AL were 9.4, 9.34, 12.44 and 9.4 percent, and crude fiber 27.4, 39.4, 35.2 and 28.3 percent, respectively. The HS of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (68.6%) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) (50.4%) and for ash, SS (26.73%) and SF (18.93%) were higher than that of other forages. The DC of the dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), CP, ether extract, NDF, ADF and digestible energy (DE) of feeds were significantly (P< 0.01). Digestible CP of SS, HS, SF and AL were 49.7, 58.2, 21.7 and 20.7 percent, and DE 1.9, 2.4, 0. 6 and 2.7, (Mcal/kg/DM), respectively. It is concluded that the nutrition value of HS and AL are good and the SS middle to feed for camel, but the SF has lower. | ||
