Extract

Formaldehyde reduces protein degradability by forming crosslink between protein chains and has antimicrobial properties that may alter the bacterial population and fermentation pattern of silage (Nagel and Broderick, 1992). Urea is man made feed ingredient containing 46 g/Kg nitrogen or 287 g/Kg crud protein equivalents. Ingested urea is degraded to ammonia, and the ruminal bacteria in corporate the ammonia into bacterial protein (Haffman, 1999). The objective of this study was to determine of effect of formaldehyde and urea on rumen and blood metabolites of sheep.
