Combined effects of feed-grade urea and a urease inhibitor on growth performance, digestibility, blood biochemical indicators, and rumen environment in beef cattle by Yuan Zhou, Xuerong Song, Dabo Fu, Lizbeth E. Robles-Jimenez, Manuel Gonzalez-Ronquillo, Navid Ghavipanje, Navid Ghavipanje

“…In vitro, ammonia nitrogen (N-NH3) production at 0 h (p = 0.0001), 0.5 h (p = 0.0009), and 2 h (p = 0.0001) was higher in both the FGU- and HyUrit-containing groups than in the Ctrl (SBM) group. Overall, the lower cost of FGU may justify its partial replacement of true protein meals in beef cattle diets without compromising growth performance or animal health, especially in cases where FGU is consumed as a single dose rather than through a total mixed ration (TMR) at the HU20 level (20% HyUrit), thereby mitigating the risk of alkalosis.…”
