The Determination of Metabolizable Protein of Untreated and Treated Sun Flower Meal with Urea and Microwave Using Nylon Bags Technique

This study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of sun flower meal treated and untreated with 0.5% urea and microwave using nylon bags technique in Gizel sheep. Two fistulaed Gizel sheep with average BW 45±2 kg were used in a complete randomized design. The treatments were as following: A: sun flower, B: sun flower treated with 0.5% urea, C: sun flower treated with microwave. The ruminal dry matter and crude protein disappearance were measured at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 36 and 48 h. Sun flower meal treated with 0.5% urea (156.117 g/kg DM) and sun flower (89.89 g/kg DM) had the highest and lowest effective ruminal degradable protein, respectively. The subjects in this experiment, the metabolizable protein of sun flower treated with 0.5% urea (300.947 g/kg DM) accounted for the highest value than the other treatments. Results show that increased metabolizable protein by processing meals with urea and microwave.
