Dietary Sodium Chloride

Five dietary levels of sodium chloride (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0 and 1.8%) were used. Commercial broiler chickens tolerated 0.4–1.0% of dietary sodium chloride without adverse effects on performance. Key words: Broilers, salt, diets, sodium chloride

Dietary Sodium Chloride

Growth and food conversion efficiency in Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar) in either fresh water or sea water were not demonstrably affected by varying the level of dietary sodium chloride. Large dietary salt loads were almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tracts offish within 24 h, and plasma sodium and chloride concentrations were positively affected at this time.Irrespective of whether fish were undergoing random, spontaneous activity or an enforced, uniform low level of activity, growth rates and food conversion efficiencies were similar when fish were fed the same ration but different amounts of sodium chloride.A possible explanation is that normal renal function in fresh water provides for large amounts of hypoosmotic urine in which excess sodium chloride may be discharged without great expenditure of energy. However, in sea water, where urine flow is minimal, the main route of excretion for the excess electrolytes is across the gills, a process requiring energy.

Dietary Sodium Chloride

For 8 weeks, 64 Merino wethers, 18 months of age, were individually penned and offered 1 of 16 treatment feeds (n = 4). The 16 feeds were formulated to contain levels of added sodium chloride (0, 7, 14, 21%) and levels of organic matter digestibility (55, 62, 69, 76%), in a 4 × 4 factorial design. The treatment feeds were offered ad libitum for 7 weeks and at maintenance for the final week. Clean wool growth, corrected for digestible organic matter intake, increased by 16, 18 and 27% as added sodium chloride was increased (7, 14, and 21%). The increase in wool growth was similar for diets at all levels of formulated organic matter digestibility. Feed digestibility in sheep decreased when added dietary sodium chloride was 14% or higher. The decrease in organic matter digestibility was ~5 percentage units at the highest level (21%) of dietary sodium chloride. Liveweight gain in sheep was reduced from 143 to 134, 65 and 1 g/day with 7, 14 and 21% added dietary sodium chloride, respectively. Therefore, improvement in wool growth efficiency appears to occur at the expense of liveweight gain, and was probably related to a shift in digestion of feed from the stomach to the small intestine. Higher corrected clean wool growth associated with lower levels of purine derivatives (an indicator of microbial protein synthesis) supported the conclusion that increased dietary salt resulted in an increase in dietary protein being digested in the small intestine. A shift in feed utilisation towards increased wool growth as dietary salt increases may be a management tool of particular interest to specialist wool producers. In areas of saline land where salt-accumulating shrubs are often the most productive vegetation, an increase in wool production efficiency, even if liveweight is only maintained, may improve the profitability of incorporating these shrubs into a feeding strategy.

Sustained arterial hypertension developed in male, albino rats chronically fed diets rich in sodium chloride with demineralized drinking water available ad libitum. After 12 months of the experimental regimen a positive, linear correlation (r = 0.91) was found between the systolic blood pressure and the concentration of sodium chloride in the diet. A syndrome of edema and renal failure was observed in 18 per cent of the group fed at the level of 7.0 to 9.8 per cent of sodium chloride. Significant histologic changes occurred in the kidneys and certain other organs in rats consuming rations containing these levels of NaCl. The relative volume of the radiosodium space was increased in the rat by high dietary sodium chloride.
