The effect of urea-molasses supplementation on liveweight, wool production and reproductive performance of merino ewes grazing poor quality native pasture

Abstract

The growth rate, wool production and reproductive performance of sheep provided with an ad libitum supplement of urea and molasses while grazing poor quality native pastures in the Maranoa district of south-west Queensland are presented in this paper. Urea-molasses supplementation had no effect on liveweight, growth rate, wool production or reproductive performance of sheep grazing poor quality native pastures in the Maranoa district of southern Queensland.
