Abstract

Four groups each of seven maiden Hereford heifers 15-18 months old were confined in bare yards and fed a basal ration of sorghum silage with and without a urea supplement. Heifers which received ad lib. silage with urea showed normal behaviour; un-supplemented animals on ad lib. silage became lethargic, apathetic and dejected.
