Urea Treatment of Paddy Straw.: Benefit

Urea treatment of paddy straw involves soaking straw in a urea solution for 21 days to increase its nutritive value and palatability for cattle. The procedure involves layering straw and sprinkling urea solution over four stages under a polythene sheet. Treated straw should be fed to cattle over 10 minutes after air exposure and regulated in amount. A chaff cutter reduces fodder waste and increases palatability and digestibility by cutting straw into easier to handle pieces, with safety precautions when using the machine.
