Fifteen Farafra mature rams were divided into five equal groups (3 rams per group) according to their age and initial bpdy weight. The animals exposed to solar radiation 3 hours daily during the period from 15th July to 30th August. The 1st group was control, and the other four groups were treated with different salts including 1% sodium bicarbonate (T1), 1% potassium carbonate (T2), 0.5% sodium bicarbonate + 0.5% potassium carbonate (T3) and 1% sodium bicarbonate + 1% potassium carbonate (T4). Thermal responses parameters, blood parameters and respiratory activities were determined only at the end of the experimental period before (11-12 am) solar exposure and after (3-4 pm) 3 hours of solar exposure to investigate the cumulative effect of dietary salts for 45 days. The results indicated that treated animals recorded a significantly (P<O.OS) lower rectal temperature, skin temperature and decreased ear temperature before and after solar exposure, respectively.
