mechanized urea treatment of wheat straw versus the conventional urea treatment method

an inspection of the possibility of mechanized urea treatment of cereal straw through a study of the rewetting process of wheat straw

wheat straw, as an animal feed source, is of a low nutritional value, which can be enriched through a process of urea treatment. this process is the rewetting of the straw to the point of increasing its moisture content up to 30-50 percent using urea solution. the conventional method of treatment is a laborious, tedious and time consuming task. to facilitate this process some of these operation...

Broiler Litter and Urea-treated Wheat Straw as Feedstuffs

Thirty-two Alpine doelings (15 wk of age, 12 ± 2.05 kg) were randomly allocated to four treatments to evaluate the use of deep-stacked broiler litter (BL) and urea-treated wheat straw (UWS) as feedstuffs. In all treatments, UWS or untreated wheat straw (WS) was fed for ad libitum consumption along with a concentrate supplement fed at a prescribed percentage of BW. Treatments were: U B a corn-ba...

Effect of Feeding Dietary Treated Wheat Straw with Urea and Whey on Fattening Lambs Performance

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding treated wheat straw with urea and whey on fattening lambs performance. About 4.5 kg urea and 1.5 kg salt were dissolved in 40 L water and mixed with 30 L of whey. The solution was spread over 100 kg chopped wheat straw. Thirty two male lambs were randomly divided into four feeding groups to compare performance with diets based on barley...

Treatment of Wounds with Urea

Sir,?More than fifty cases treated by this method have more than proved its value. This treatment was introduced by Muldavin and Holtzmann (Lancet, 1938, i, p. 549) who cleaned up the wound with a saturated solution of urea, and after removing moisture and necrotic material applied pure urea to the wound itself and zinc cream to the adjacent skin. The wound was then covered with waxed paper and...

Chemical Treatment of Wheat Straw

Urea in the treatment of epibulbar malignancies.

Eight patients with epibulbar malignancies of the eyes were sucessfully treated with urea. One of them presented a malignant melanoma, one a tumour of Kaposi's disease, and six had squamous cell carcinomas. At least four out of these eight patients would have required enucleation of the globe or exenteration of the orbit as an alternative to urea therapy.
