AB <p>The objective of this study was to evaluate the&nbsp;<em>in vitro</em> effects of slow release urea on gas production and degradation of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber for alfalfa hay,oat straw and corn silage and Stover. The addition of the slow release urea in alfalfa and oat cultures did not improve the degradation of these substrates. However in forages with low content of crude protein, e.g. corn silage and stover, the addition of slow-release urea alone or in combination with urea resulted in a significant increase in degradation and gas production.</p>
