Hays Wintering Test Compares UREA Use in Silage
Kansas state research at Hays tested forage sorghum silage with UREA top dressing and with UREA added at ensiling, plus cottonseed meal or no grain. Results show slightly higher gains and lower cost per pound with top dressed UREA, but cottonseed meal vastly improves gain and cost efficiency. adding grain reduces costs further, supporting UREA in fattening rations when paired with readily digested carbohydrates.
