What has the author Henry Barrow Bowers written?
Henry Barrow Bowers has written: 'The effect of urea in the rations fed to growing and fattening steers' -- subject(s): Feeding and feeds, Urea as feed, Cattle
Can urea cause birth defects in cattle?
No.
What is remedy for urea?
urea is mixed with sterile water and is a remedy for adenocarcinoma cancer
Is it safe to feed cattle sweet feed?
Yes, but it is not acceptable for dairy cattle.
What is urea resin adhesive?
It's a form of powdered urea, that when mixed with water, becomes a wood glue.
Is it good for the cow to feed them a TMR?
TMR = Total Mixed Ration. It is useful only when a cow is being confined in a barn, and not on pasture. So if you are referring to a large herd of dairy cattle that are confined in a barn, then yes it is good to feed them TMRs. But it defeats its purpose when you are grazing the cattle out on pasture.
What is the chemical formula for water mixed with urea?
The chemical formula for water is H2O and the chemical formula for urea is CO(NH2)2. When mixed together, urea does not change its chemical formula. Therefore, the mixture of water and urea would still be represented by the chemical formulas H2O and CO(NH2)2.
How profitable are cattle?
Not very profitable, thanks to increased prices in fertilizer, feed, and fuel to feed and care for cattle.
Why does feeding cattle urea can result in a increased growth rate?
Microorganisms in the rumen (the cow's first stomach) can turn urea into protein - this increases the growth rate.
Can citrus peels be used as cattle feed?
No. Citrus peels have a bitter taste which can turn off cattle from eating the feed.
Is it a problem to feed alfalfa hay to cattle?
Not really, but sometimes it can be, especially if you don't know when to feed it to cattle. Feeding alfalfa hay (straight alfalfa, mind you, with no grass) when cattle are really hungry will invite problems with bloat. Though the bloat won't be as severe as if you put them on fresh alfalfa, it still will be serious enough that you can't let it go untreated. Thus most producers prefer to feed hay that includes grass mixed in with alfalfa to have that extra roughage content so cattle won't bloat as readily.
What is the use of urea in the daily ration of cattle?
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.).
