Extract

During the last two decades, there has been increased interest in planting halophytes in the salty agricultural regions of central Iran for improved animal production and environmental protection. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and protein digestibility of some halophytes (Atriplex sp., Sauda sp., Kochia sp. and Gamanthus sp.) using in vitro technique, and mobile nylon bag and three step procedures.
