The quantity and quality of water are of the most important environmental challenges in the world's arid and semi-arid regions, including Iran. In the present conditions, water shortage as well as water salinity are the most important threats to the livestock and poultry industry in Iran and even many parts of the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of water salinity on rumen degradability of dry matter and crude protein of alfalfa hay using nylon bags technique in Iranian shal rams. Rumen degradability of dry matter and crude protein of alfalfa hay were determined by nylon bags technique at different times using eight cannulated Iranian Shal rams which received different levels of drinking saline water including control group (480), 4000, 8000 and 12000 mg/L. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental treatments in terms of dry matter degradability in most incubation times, but there was no significant difference in protein degradability (except for 0, 2 and 72 h incubation times). At the longest incubation time, dry matter degradability increased with increasing salinity level. There was a significant difference between the treatments in terms of effective degradability of dry matter; but the effective degradability of the protein was not affected by the experimental treatments. Quickly degradable protein (QDP) decreased and slowly degradable protein (SDP) increased by enhancing salinity level. Metabolizable protein (MP) was significantly different between experimental treatments. The highest amount of MP was observed in the highest salinity level treatment and there was no significant difference between other salinity levels and control treatment. In general, it seems that increasing salinity level affects rumen degradability of alfalfa hay. The treatment containing 12000 mg/L TDS decreased the amount of quickly degradable protein and increased the metabolizable protein.
