These attributes make prilled urea the preferred option for livestock• Has typically a uniform size and a smooth surface.• Is often used in animal feed formulations due to its ease of handling.• Dissolves relatively quickly in water, making it readily available as a source of nitrogen for livestock."Our certification is your peace of mind"

Dear all,Great article, congratulations.I want to add a little contribution. If we combine the best encapsulation with the best "urea feed grade" (like Rumisan from Yara), with the best particle size and distribution, the results would be even better.Again, congratulations on the article and also the reply of Marcos.Regards,FAG

Hello Victor,I appreciate your inquiry about slow-release ureas, particularly in the context of NitroShure. Our goal with NitroShure is to achieve a balanced release of nitrogen, strategically positioning it between Soybean Meal (SBM) and urea. This careful calibration is pivotal to ensuring an effective synergy between carbohydrates and nitrogen.The moderate release speed inherent in NitroShure i ...

Lipid encapsulation has proved to be a valuable tool for protecting nutrients from degradation during processing, storage and digestion and making them available for absorption by the animal. Over the last years, many new encapsulated nutrients have entered the market. These products, and the processes that create them, differ greatly in design, technology, and unfortunately, performance.High qual ...

SummaryThis study was conducted to test the efficacy of phytase in low phosphorus and calcium diets in the late production cycle for maintaining the productivity, eggshell and bone quality of hens fed low phosphorus and calcium.ProblemExogenous phytase supplementation has become a standard practice for poultry diets to liberate available phosphorus and reduce excretion of phosphorus in manure. Man ...

Thank you for the clarifications, Dr. Korver. Maybe the good and old NRC might have been a better standard, even after all the modifications genetics has introduced in current layers. Indeed, the phytase effect was very large. Something to be better investigated. Kind regards.

Hello Alvaro:In this study, we made the decision to use an available P level that would be based on a consistent standard - the breed management guide. Arguments can be made (and I make this argument on a regular basis) that in general, management guides recommend available P well in excess of the actual hen requirements. However, the guide is a consistent standard or point of reference. In our cu ...

Dear authors. Called my attention the very high level of avP in the control diet making the negative control still sufficient. Literature is prodigal in papers showing that laying hens produce quite well with levels around 0.20%. Why this particular choice? Also funny that egg mass increased so much (almost 20%) but egg production is said no to be affected significantly. Did egg weight increased s ...

I. INTRODUCTION Phytic acid salts or phytate constitutes up to 70 % of the phosphorous (P) stored in cereal grains and oilseed meals and this P is poorly utilized by poultry due to limited endogenous phytase secretion (Ravindran, 1995). Therefore, exogenous phytase is routinely used in poultry feed worldwide to address the issue of optimizing P utilization and mitigating the negative impact of die ...
