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.
