“…However, Yirga (2019) reported the absence of the effect of water salinity levels of up to 17 g TDS/l on thermoregulation traits of growing and mature Blackhead Ogaden sheep and Somali goats. Additionally, thermoregulatory variables like rectal temperature, respiration rate and pulse were in the normal range for sheep consuming water salinity of lake water (Tulu et al, 2022). These indicated that small ruminants have an adaptation tolerance to water salinity without harmful effects under different environmental conditions and management systems.…”

“…Minerals such as chlorine, potassium, and sodium are key components of body fluids that provide osmotic equilibrium, acid-base balance, and membrane permeability and assist in regulating water distribution in the body. Many authors observed plasma electrolytes in healthy goats (Paiva et al, 2017;Runa et al, 2019;Zoidis and Hadjigeorgiou, 2017) and sheep (de Matos et al, 2019;Mehdi et al, 2016;Tulu et al, 2022) were within normal ranges. Compared to freshwater, saline water has significantly high Na+ and Clconcentrations in goats consuming saline water containing the 1.5% group; however, the animal remained in the reference range and maintained constant plasma Na+ and Clconcentrations.…”

“…The blood system is affected by temperature fluctuations and serves as a key marker of physiological stress reactions. Water stress both in quantity and quality is the most essential part in altering haematological variables like red blood cell count (RBC); hematocrit value (HCT); haemoglobin concentration (HGB); mean corpuscular volume (MCV); mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH); RBC distribution width (RDW); total white blood cell (WBC) in sheep and goats, especially in arid and semiarid regions where water is scarce (Runa et al, 2022;Tulu et al, 2022;Vosooghi-Postindoz et al, 2018). Numerous factors, including species, breed, sex, age, nutrition, illnesses, physiological stage, water quality and temperature change, might influence haematological value trends (Agradi et al, 2022;Akinmoladun et al, 2020;Anya et al, 2018).…”

Climate change is shifting rainfall patterns, air temperature, river flows, and sea levels globally, resulting in changes in ground and surface water quality due to salinization, especially in arid and semiarid regions. During dry periods, the main water quality issue is a high quantity of salt in the water. Whilst water with fewer than 3,000 mg/L total salts is beneficial to all livestock species, tolerances vary greatly based on conditions and circumstances. Understanding the normal salt tolerance of animals without harming their production and health is important for sustainable livestock production, especially in dry areas. Understanding the normal salt tolerance of animals without harming their production and health is important for sustainable livestock production, especially in dry areas. Thus, this review examined the physiological, behavioral, hematological, and biochemical responses of sheep and goats in dryland areas under climate change scenarios. Despite changes in physiological, blood, biochemical, feed and water intake, sheep and goats adapt to salinity levels to drinking water in arid environments. Adaptable and native breeds are known to be more tolerant of saline water than selected exotic breeds. Small ruminants experience a decrease in food intake and weight, a decrease in breathing rate, and an increase in blood metabolite concentration when the salt in their drinking water increases. The concept that native and adapted small ruminant breeds can withstand high water salinity is gaining popularity in scientific research worldwide. More research is needed to investigate the water tolerance capabilities of adapted breeds, especially in dry and water-saline regions affected by climate change.

Objective: The daily maximum temperature and seawater level continuously increase as global warming continues. We examined the adaptability and production performance of heat-stressed goats with a supply of low-saline drinking water.Methods: Twelve Kacang and Kacang Etawah cross goats were exposed to two climatic conditions (control, 25°C to 33°C, 83% relative humidity [RH], temperature humidity index [THI]: 76 to 86; and hot environment, 26°C to 39°C, 81% RH, THI: 77 to 94) and two salt levels in drinking water (0% and 0.4% NaCl). The experimental design was a Latin Square (4×4) with four treatments and four periods (28 days each).Results: Temperature of the rectal, skin, and udder, and respiration rate rose, reached a maximum level on the first day of heat exposures, and then recovered. Plasma sodium rose at 0.4% NaCl level, while the hot environment and salinity treatments increased the drinking water to dry matter (DM) intake ratio. Water excretion was elevated in the hot environment but lowered by the increase in salinity. Total lying time increased, whereas change position frequency decreased in the hot condition. Lying and ruminating and total ruminating time increased and explained the enhanced DM digestibility in the hot conditions.Conclusion: The goats exhibited a high level of plasma sodium as salinity increased, and they demonstrated physiological and behavioral alterations while maintaining their production performances under increasing daily maximum temperatures.
