Read the passage and answer question
Special feeds are the substances which are added in the roughage component of the diet to enrich its nutritive value. Low quality dry roughages like wheat straw, paddy straw, jawar kadbi and even crop residues are poor in their nutritive value and palatability. However, all these fodders form the major proportion of staple diets of the nutrients. Hence the enrichment of these fodders with suitable low-cost energy and protein sources make them not only palatable but they can be efficiently and completely utilized by the ruminants. Ruminants can efficiently digest fertilizer grade urea with the help of micro organisms in to quality proteins, hence urea is used to enrich such low quality roughages. Feed urea provides 2900 g crude protein/kg. When urea is heated, biuret is obtained. Both are useful in ruminants feeding. Biuret provides 2550g crude protein/kg. Use of urea molasses for increasing nutritive value and palatability of wheat straw, jawar kadbi, etc. is now a day practiced for their efficient utilization in the livestock farms.
