Abstract
Thirty-two Bos indicus crossbred steers were offered ad libitum a basal diet of low quality tropical native pasture hay. Supplements of urea (US), urea and formaldehyde cottonseed meal (US+PP) or urea, soyabean meal and maize (UPM) were compared in a 64 day pen feeding study. The unsupplemented controls lost 27kg and those fed urea lost 14kg. Liveweight gains of 18kg and 11kg were observed in treatments US+PP and UPM respectively. The liveweight responses were related to a 60% increase in roughage intake and the increased nutrient supply from supplemental protein and energy.
