Urea is a non-protein nitrogen source that is readily available for the commercial dairy industry. It is used as a ration supplement to increase the amount of nitrogen available to the cattle but must be carefully monitored - too much urea can be toxic and cause severe neurologic problems. The advantage to urea is that it is a much cheaper source of nitrogen than protein sources (soybean, poultry meal, etc.).
