Exploring the potential forage quality of some halophytic species at different phenological stages
Overall, all four species studied demonstrated good forage quality due to their high protein content. Moreover, S. rosmarinus emerged as a superior species for foraging, while A. leucoclada and T. passerinoides were notable for their digestibility percentage and metabolic effects. S. rosmarinus may be a promising candidate for future studies aimed at mitigating fine dust.
