CONT

La urea no puede emplearse como suplemento de ensilado de leguminosas o de hierba, ya que estos tienen ya un contenido bastante elevado en nitrógeno no proteico.

CONT

Los forrajes de mayor calidad como hierba verde, henificada o ensilada, heno de alfalfa, etc., se consumen en mayores cantidades y tienen un mayor valor energético, por lo que no suelen plantear problemas en ganado extensivo, o incluso debe limitarse su aporte para evitar un exceso de ingestión.
