Abstract
Urea is widely used as a source of non-protein-nitrogen (NPN) in supplements offered to cattle during the tropical dry season. There are potential toxicity risks associated with urea feeding and a low toxixity NPN may have a role in supplements which are consumed by cattle fed at infrequent intervals. One such NPN is Isobutylidene diurea (IBDU) which is available as a slow release garden fertilizer. Some recent research has shown that a slowly degraded source of ruminal NPN improved performance compared with a rapidly degraded from such as urea.
