Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Suaeda fruticosa had the highest crude protein content of the four halophytes, 14.4%, in Khuzestan.
- Observation Atriplex leucoclada had the greatest dry matter digestibility and metabolic effects among the halophytes sampled in Khuzestan.
- Observation Tamarix passerinoides had the greatest dry matter digestibility and metabolic effects among the halophytes sampled in Khuzestan.
- Observation Stems of the halophytes had higher nitrogen, crude protein and ash than leaves.
- Observation Stems of the halophytes had higher water-soluble carbohydrates, neutral detergent-soluble fibers and cell wall components lacking hemicellulose than leaves.
- Observation Leaves of the halophytes had greater dry matter digestibility than stems.
- Observation Leaves of the halophytes had more significant metabolic effects than stems.
- Observation All four halophytes showed good forage quality, which the authors attribute to their high protein content.
- Observation Seidlitzia rosmarinus emerged as a superior species for foraging.
- Recommendation Seidlitzia rosmarinus may be a promising candidate for future studies aimed at mitigating fine dust.
