No.
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.).
Microorganisms in the rumen (the cow's first stomach) can turn urea into protein - this increases the growth rate.

Yes, the loop of Henle is where urea recycling occurs in the kidney. If there is a disruption in the urea recycling process in the loop of Henle, it can lead to a build-up of urea in the body, potentially causing health issues.
It's the concentrated amount of urea that will kill, not the diluted amount that is added to silage. Urea will be diluted as it is added to silage, thus making it not toxic and edible for cattle to eat.
Urea can be both helpful and harmful. In low concentrations, urea is a natural component of healthy skin and can act as a moisturizer. However, in higher concentrations or when used inappropriately, urea can irritate the skin and cause dryness.

Urea is typically less toxic than ammonia. Ammonia is a direct irritant to the respiratory system and can cause damage upon inhalation, while urea is less likely to cause immediate harm. However, both substances can be harmful in high concentrations and should be handled with caution.
Urea can be dangerous if ingested in large quantities as it can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract and potentially lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Exposure to high levels of urea in the blood can also lead to kidney damage and organ failure.
Factors that can cause an increase in blood urea include kidney dysfunction or disease, dehydration, high protein intake, certain medications, and conditions that cause breakdown of body tissues such as extensive muscle injury or cancer. Additionally, factors that decrease urine production or flow, like dehydration or kidney damage, can also result in elevated blood urea levels.
