Abstract

Abstract Saki, A.A., Nik-Khah, A. and Nourusiyan, H. 1997. Urea treatment of temperate cereal straws for sheep in Iran. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 12: 177–186. The nutritive value of straws from different varieties of wheat, barley and triticale, treated (5% urea) or untreated was assessed in vivo in sheep. Urea treatment reduced dry matter (DM) and crude fibre (CF) contents but increased crude protein (CP) and mineral contents. Nutrient digestibility was also increased. The voluntary intake of dry matter of the straws was also measured. There was significant increase (P>0.01) in nutritive value of treated straws but there were no significant differences among straws from different species. The voluntary intake of the straws followed the same trend.
