dressing percentage. Decreased intramuscular fat
weights were obtained with lambs fed halophytes compared to Control lambs. Histology of the ileum,
sub mucosa and Peyer's patches were normal in all lambs. In conclusion, untreated halophyte mixtures of
A. nummularia and A. saligna (at 1:1 DM) can be substituted for berseem hay without negative effects on
performance while treatment with S. cerevisiae may improve performance and, like T. reesei, change
certain biochemical responses.
