Sodium chloride supplementation of all plant protein broiler diets
Poultry Science
|April 1, 1984
Abstract:
Male broiler chicks were fed all plant protein diets with soybean meal or a mixture of soybean and canola meals as the source of supplementary protein from 0 to 4 weeks of age. Supplementation of the diets with .25% sodium chloride did not meet the requirements of the chicks for maximum growth. Growth was accelerated when the dietary sodium chloride concentration was increased to .50 and 1.00%.

02:35Key Elements for Plant Nutrition
Like all living organisms, plants require organic and inorganic nutrients to survive, reproduce, grow and maintain homeostasis. To identify nutrients that are essential for plant functioning, researchers have leveraged a technique called hydroponics. In hydroponic culture systems, plants are grown—without soil—in water-based solutions containing nutrients. At least 17 nutrients have been identified as essential elements required by plants. Plants acquire these elements from the atmosphere, the...

Salt stress—which can be triggered by high salt concentrations in a plant’s environment—can significantly affect plant growth and crop production by influencing photosynthesis and the absorption of water and nutrients.
