Urea can be used to supplement the diet of cattle and other ruminants. It helps maximize the benefits of poor-quality grazing by optimizing digestion – particularly in the dry season.

• Ruminants can use non-protein nitrogen (NPN) to synthesize microbial protein with high biological value.
• NPN is an efficient alternative to proteins.
• Soluble protein should be balanced in ruminant rations to allow maximum microbial growth thus microbial protein synthesis.
