Abstract
Since the halophytes complete their life cycle in a salty environment, they,
consequently, have a high content of minerals in their components. The high content of
ash is a typical characteristic of halophytes. However, the ash content of halophytes
differs greatly according to several factors. This chapter discusses how halophytes vary
in ash and ion content, the effects of halophyte species on mineral compositions, and
geographic variations in the mineral contents of halophytes.
Keywords: Animals, Ash, Chloride, Dietary, Halophytes, Metabolism, Minerals, Rumen, Salinity, Sodium, Utilization.
