Abstract :
Investigation was themed to monitor the influence of irrigated soil on major nutrients in different camel
browse vegetations. Results indicated Haloxylon salicornicum significantly rich and Prosopis cineraria comparatively
poor in moisture content however dry matter appeared vice versa. Total organic and inorganic matter in Acacia nilotica,
Ziziphus nummularia, Acacia jacquemontii, Prosopis juliflora, Prosopis cineraria, Alhagi maurorum, Capparis deciduas,
and Zea mays found significantly different (P˂0.05) from Trifolium alexandrinum, Salvadora oleiodes, Suaeda fruticosa,
Haloxylon salicornicum and Tamarix passerinoides. Suaeda fruticosa had significantly maximum crude protein concentration.
Zea mays had significantly high, Suaeda fruticosa comparatively low extract level. Nitrogen free extract among Acacia
nilotica, Prosopis juliflora and Prosopis cineraria existed considerably high. Crude fiber was found significantly higher in
Zea mays. Prosopis juliflora and Acacia nilotica acquired prominent concentration of total carbohydrate. Inorganic matter
in Haloxylon salicornicum, Tamarix passerinoides, Salvadora oleiodes, Suaeda fruticosa and Trifolium alexandrinum didn’t
significantly vary compared to each other, while with other vegetations it significantly varied. Zea mays, Acacia nilotica,
Capparis deciduas, Ziziphus nummularia, Prosopis cineraria, Alhagi maurorum, Acacia jacquemontii and Prosopis juliflora
appeared significantly different compared to Haloxylon salicornicum, Tamarix passerinoides, Salvadora oleiodes, Suaeda
fruticosa and Trifolium alexandrinum against ash content. Study concludes that Trifolium alexandrinum noted to be
high moistured vegetation, Acacia jacquemontii rich in organic matter and Salvadora oleiodes in total inorganic matter at
irrigated areas. Further, Capparis deciduas, and Suaeda fruticosa both pertained considerable crude protein contents. Zea
mays and Salvadora oleiodes possessed high ether extract.
