How to use urea in goat feeding

Please note that urea on its own cannot be fed to goats. ·          The use of urea in goats requires the following steps and mixing rations. ·          When crushing the maize we recommend hard crushing (at least 5mm screen sizes). ·          Dissolve urea in water before mixing. ·          Use a ration of 1:20 between urea and maize crush. ·          A 50kg of urea dissolve in 75 to 100 litres of water (you can do this overnight). ·          Sprinkle the syrup on a tonne of maize crush or proportionately and mix thoroughly. ·          This feed will be 13 to 15% CP and can now be fed to goats in quantities between 1kg to 2kg maximum per day. ·          Goats being fed this feed need hay adlib and water all the time. ·          A standard 7 day break in period is required. ·          Goats on this diet should not have access to poultry manure or soya bean stover.
