| Q: |
Is HE-20%™ safe for suckling
calves? |
| A: |
Yes, suckling calves develop a rumen
at an early age and can utilize urea in the amounts
delivered in the minimal quantity of HE-20%TM they
will consume. The small amounts of urea delivered
from HE-20%TM to a young calf before their rumen
is completely developed will not be harmful.

| Q: |
Is urea utilized by cattle consuming
forages? |
| A: |
Yes, rumen microbes that digest forages
require ammonia for growth and fiber digestion.
Urea is rapidly broken down to ammonia after it
is consumed. Since HE-20%™ provides a small
amount of supplement continuously, fiber-digesting
bacteria can efficiently utilize urea. Rumen microbes
must have energy to use urea. Therefore, cattle
consuming high grain diets can utilize a larger
quantity of urea than cattle consuming forages because
the rate of digestion of grains is faster than forages.
If the protein content of forage is inadequate to
meet the protein requirement of rumen microorganisms,
urea can enhance fiber digestion.
