All-urea rations show higher efficiency with additives
Study finds gain value and feed costs about five percent better on dry all-urea than liquid form. Adding fish solubles improves liveweight gains and feed efficiency. Replacing part of urea and dicalcium phosphate with diarmonium phosphate performs as well or better than all-urea supplements.
