Three laboratory-prepared urease reagents were compared with a commercial preparation supplied for routine use on the Beckman Blood Urea Nitrogen Analyzer. There were discrepancies in results for urea nitrogen among the four urease reagents when matching serum and the corresponding oxalate/fluoride treated plasma were compared as measured with the Beckman Analyzer and continuous-flow (AutoAnaly...

This study was carried out in order to evaluate the changes of Nitrogen, phosphor and potassium uptake by wheat and remaining of them in soil under foliar application of Leonardite and foliar application of N and K. The experiment was conducted in Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources during 2013- 2014. The experiment was laid out a using split-plot arrangement based ...

Cheviot wethers were defaunated by using dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate and were constantly infused with urea to provide 2.87% of the daily N intake. Defaunation resulted in higher rumen dry matter and lower rumen pH. The molar per cent propionate was higher in defaunated sheep, whereas the molar per cent butyrate and acetate was lower. Apparent nitrogen digestibility, nitrogen utilization, and ...

An experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of Nitrogen afterflowering. The RCBD design was analysed with three replications and four N-treatments as foliar application as(N0=0, N1=4kg.ha-1 Urea, N2=8kg.ha-1 Urea, N3=4kg.ha-1 Ammonium Sulfate). Results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of Nitrogen. Da...

While the global increase in the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers has been well recognized, another change in fertilizer usage has simultaneously occurred: a shift toward urea-based products. Worldwide use of urea has increased more than 100-fold in the past 4 decades and now constitutes >50% of global nitrogenous fertilizer usage. Global urea usage extends beyond agricultural applications; ur...

We followed the "abbreviated precision protocol" of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards for the evaluation of precision, accuracy, and carryover in analysis for urea nitrogen with the multilayer film analysis system ("Ektachem"). We analyzed 456 clinical samples with this instrument, by the manual urease/glucose dehydrogenase method, and with the Beckman System I GLU/BUN An...

The present study was aimed to observe the effects of urea ingestion, non-protein nitrogen, on the disorder of nitrogen metabolism with the L-carnitine contents using the blood, kidney, liver, and femoral muscle as markers. A total of 8 Japanese white rabbits were used in this experiment. They were fed a basal diet prepared for the control group and the nitrogen volume proportionated to one-thi...

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between nitrogen isotopic fractionation (δ(15)N) and nitrogen-use efficiency (milk nitrogen/nitrogen intake; NUE) in pasture-fed dairy cows supplemented with increasing levels of urea to mimic high rumen degradable protein pastures in spring. Fifteen cows were randomly assigned to freshly cut pasture and either supplemented with 0,...

Blood and ruminal samples were analyzed from gestating cows fed apple pomace or corn silage plus isonitrogenous and isocaloric quantities of cottonseed meal or nonprotein nitrogen containing supplements in four trials. Data were also obtained from steers fed similar diets during a metabolism trial. The supplementary sources of nitrogen supplied 50 to 70% of the total nitrogen in the diet. Feedi...
