Abstract
SUMMARYA method of including urea into whole grains is described. The whole grains were found to absorb completely a saturated solution of urea.The method gave the different cereals examined (barley, oats, wheat and maize) a homogeneouis distribution of urea and increased the voluntary intake of whole grains by lambs. The evolution of NH3in the rumen liquor was slightly slower when urea was absorbed into the grains than when it was included as urea crystals. The N content in the urea-treated grain was not changed after 6 months of storage.
