Determination sodium and chloride in feed of camels and goats under open range system at E-l khuwei Locality, West Kordofan State, Sudan

Abstract EN

This study was conducted at -kEhluwei locality, west Kordofan, Sudan, during the flowering and seed setting stages 20T11h.e main objective of th isstudy was to determine sodium and chloride in the feed of camels and goats at the flowering and seed settin gstages.

Sampling was done by locating 22 kemach stage.

Within each stage randomly selected 60 samples of feed camels and goats.

The data was analyzed used a completely randomized design (CRD).

SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used fore t hstatistical analysis.

The results indicated that stage effect were significantly difference (P<0.001) higher sodium Na (5.28 ppm) level and chloride Cl (0.03 ppm) level at flowering stage and least sodium Na (3.74 ppm) level and chloride Cl (0.01ppm) leevl at seed setting stage.

It can be concluded that increased sodium and chloride at the flowering stage and decreased sodium and chloride at seed setting stage.
