Types of Urea Supplement for Wintering Beef Calves

Previous research at the Cottonwood Station showed that calves fed low levels of urea during an adaptation period made faster gains than unadapted calves when fed higher levels of urea during the wintering period.

The following tow experiments were conducted as replications of those reported previously under this title
