Abstract

  Halophytes are highest salt tolerant conditional flora (>200mM) in estuarial wetland and marine ecosystem [1]. It is well known that mangrove wetlands play an important role in supplementing the nutrition of livestock growth and milk production [2,3]. Review of the optimal nutrient composition and bioactive components of mangrove flora and their associates documented on the basis of protein, lipid, carbohydrates, chlorophylls, drugs and other components [3-5]. Previous studies on mangrove flora in Gujarat, Ahmedabad, Kutch, Bharuch, Maharashtra, Goa, Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry have found that nutrients are an effective fodder in India and beneficial to livestock [6-11]. Similar studies have been reported in worldwide, especially in Africa, New Zealand, the Red Sea, Oman, the Gulf of Aden, China, Iran, Vietnam, Egypt, Qatar, Arabia and Pakistan [12-20].
