Description
Urea has been used successfully for several years as a nitrogen supplement in rations for mature ruminants. It is the non-protein nitrogen source most commonly used to add nitrogen to rations economically. Research has established guidelines for urea-feeding programs when coupled with good management and proper sanitation. To date no research has indicated that rations containing urea have any effect on reproduction or sterility or on vitamin A nutrition of ruminants. Balancing the ration for all nutrients will assure maximum production of milk and meat.
