Urea Proves Good Protein Substitute
Prof. M. L. Baker at the state agricultural college reports a 159 day trial showing urea can substitute for protein in some cattle rations after the war. Cattle fed urea alone or partially matched soybean oil meal in gains and finish, though results varied with wintering rations and younger cattle. Urea contains 46 percent nitrogen and requires rations that promote microbial protein synthesis. Production potential is vast though current price is about 100 dollars per ton and postwar costs are uncertain.
