Urea supplementation is not recommended if CP content of ruminant diet is above

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Urea supplementation is not recommended if CP content of ruminant diet is above 13%.
Crude protein measures the nitrogen content of a feedstuff, including both true protein and non-protein nitrogen. The general rule of thumb is that forages with a CP concentration of 7% or greater are adequate to meet a mature cow's CP requirements. But if it is above 13% urea supplementation is not recommended.
The amount of urea included in concentrate mixtures for cattle or sheep should not exceed 3% and usually the addition of 1 to 1.5% will prove adequate.
