5. Conclusion
The untreated halophyte mixture of A. nummularia and A. sal-
igna (at 1:1 DM) can be substituted for berseem hay without loss
of performance, while treatment with S. cerevisiae may improve
performance and, like T. reesei, change certain biochemical re-
sponses. Treatment with T. reesei was more effective than S. cere-
visiae supplementation for treating the halophyte mixture. How-
ever, a contribution to the improvement in the AF group could be
attributed to autoclaving and drying the feed as the high tem-
peratures and pressures may have altered some feed components.
