Summary

Four groups of 50 sheep were given rations containing barley, dried beet-pulp, wet beet-pulp silage, lucerne hay and straw, with A, no protein supplement; B, 1·6% urea; C, 21% Rumevite (supplying 1·3% urea); and D, 15% cottonseed cake. Average daily gains in body weight were 143, 187, 190 and 189 g for groups A to D respectively. Undernourishment and infection with endoparasites did not affect adaptation to urea.
