Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Considerations in Use of Urea for Feeding Beef and Dairy Cattle: September 1952 Judging from these few experiments, it would seem that urea can replace enough oil meal in fattening cattle\in the Corn Belt to be prof itable under almost any foreseeable relative prices of oil meal and corn. This assumes that the urea can be mixed uniformly into the ration with out any substantial increase in cost, so that there is no danger that an animal will obtain enough of the urea at one time to be toxic. This would involve some additional cost when a ration containing shelled corn, oil meal, and hay is fed. Probably a part of the corn would have to be ground and mixed with the urea to insure a safe mixture. If the farm had feed-mixing facilities or if custom-mixing facilities were used, the additional cost would probably be small, Considerable initial cost might be involved if mixing facilities were not already used. In no case should urea be used unless it is thoroughly mixed with at least a part of the daily feed. Probably a mixture of 1 pound of urea to 9 pounds of grain would be sufficient dilution. Then, if one wished to feed one fifth of a pound of urea a day, 1 pound of the mixture could be fed twice a day along with the shelled corn or other feed. Urea can also be mixed with molasses and the mixture poured on the other feeds after the grain or other feed is put in the feed bunks.
