The manufacture and storage of cereal feeding-stuffs with incorporated non-protein nitrogen compounds

Abstract

1. Losses of incorporated non-protein nitrogen compounds from stored cubes have been determined. The loss of incorporated urea was very small provided moulding did not occur. The loss of incorporated ammonium bicarbonate was large, amounting in all to some 50–60%.2. The effects of the size of the cubes and of the nature of the container on nitrogen losses are discussed.
