[QUOTE="rk, post: 180739, member: 2993"] Manufacturing cost of tubs is usually significantly higher than other types of protein supplements. Convenience is the reason they are used in most cases, I think. As far as urea goes, just use it correctly and it can be pretty good. It supplies nitrogen to feed the bacteria in the rumen, which is a source of microbial protein....in some situations, nutritionists like to use urea as a source of soluble nitrogen in order to "feed" the rumen bacteria. Best utilization is when there is consistent intake. Utilization in young calves probably lowest when they haven't developed full function of rumen. [/QUOTE]
