“…The results also showed that addition of Salicornia extract had a positive effect (P<0.05) on egg weight at weeks 1, 7, and 8 (P<0.05). Lu et al (2010) reported that fresh Salicornia bigelovii contains 0.62 g/kg of Ca. The level of Ca in Salicornia extract was 300 mg/L which is a proper source of calcium for the birds and improved the egg shell quality and led to a decrease in the egg breaking rate.…”
The current experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding Salicornia extract to the drinking water on the performance, egg quality, and blood profile of laying hens. A total of 216 Hy-Line Brown laying hens at 40 weeks of age were used in a 10-week experiment. The birds were allotted into three experimental treatments with three replications per treatment and 24 birds per replication. The treatments were CON (basal diet), T1 (1 cc of Salicornia extract per liter of drinking water), and T2 (5 cc of Salicornia extract per liter of drinking water). The collected data were analyzed using the SAS package program. The results indicated that addition of Salicornia extract to the drinking water of laying hens did not cause any negative effects on the performance, egg quality, or blood profile. Compared to the control treatment, the treatments with Salicornia extract remarkably increased egg production (P<0.05) in the last week of the study, improved egg shell thickness and significantly reduced the egg breaking rate (P<0.05). The results of this study showed that the addition of Salicornia extract improved egg shell quality; thus, Salicornia extract can decrease the egg breaking rate and increase production on commercial farms.

“…All date palm fractions had a lignin content higher than 25 g/100g DM, while for the rest of lignocellulosics the content ranged between 13.5 and 16.8 g/100g DM. This pattern indicated that the (Lu et al, 2010), b (Arhab et al, 2006) than 100 kg ethanol/t dry biomass (Pulp and Juice from S. sinus-persica (unwashed and washed), mangrove leaves, H. Uninervis, H. Ovalis, Ulva Sp., P. boergesenii, C. sinuosa, and dung from sheep, goat and cattle). Contributions of xylose and arabinose to bioethanol potential of most biomass and fractions were less than 50%, except pulp of unwashed and washed S. sinus-persica, unwashed and washed S. bigelovii, Ulva Sp., and mangroves stems and leaves.…”

“…Marine habitats have potential for bioenergy production, using seawater for crops production along the coastal deserts may eventually provide 130 million ha of new cropland (Lu et al, 2010). The UAE's 650 kilometers of coastline is abundant in sea grasses and macroalgae.…”
“…S. bigelovii has an exceptional salt tolerance, adaptation to marginal lands and hot climates, therefore has great potential as a domesticated biomass, oilseed, and forage crop plant [2]. S. bigelovii has been successfully cultivated as an oilseed and vegetable crop in the desert coastlines of Mexico, India, the Middle East, Africa and in Southeast China [3]. The seed is rich in oil (30%) and protein (35%) with a high content of polyunsaturated linoleic (75%) and linolenic (omega-3) fatty acids.…”

“…In addition to its value in human diet, the oil can be used for the production of biodiesel [4]. Earlier studies suggested that Salicornia species has been used as a folk medicine to treat a variety of diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, tumors and claimed as one of the most promising halophytes as immunomodulators [3,5]. However, till date there have been no reports on the antioxidant and anti-neuroinflammatory properties of S. bigelovii.…”
Purpose: To investigate the anti-oxidant and anti-neuroinflammatory effects of Salicornia bigelovii extract (SBE) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells.Methods: Anti-oxidant activity was measured using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Cell viability was evaluated using 3- (4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl
respectively). SBE also inhibited the LPS-induced increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expressions. Further, the production of proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 by LPS-stimulation in BV-
