Extract

Urea treatment of moist wheat at harvest preserves the grain, increases its crude protein content, allows it to be fed whole, and results in savings in feed costs when fed to intensively finished cattle (Lewis et al., 1999). The objective of this experiment was to evaluate urea treated wheat and barley for finishing lambs.
