Urea-ammonia treatment of straws in the tropics involves mixing 1.0 kg of air dry straw with 1.0 kg of a 40 g/kg urea solution and storing under plastic for at least 4 weeks (Schiere and Ibrahim, 1989). The economics of treatment is dependent on the cost of urea. Treatment cost would reduce, if on-farm-produced urine, e.g. cow urine, could be used as a source of urea. However cow urine is dilute and may contain only 10 g/kg urea or less (Owen, 1993). The present study therefore investigated varying concentrations of urea solution for treating wheat straw at a tropical temperature.

The article proved the effects of urea treatment on the structure and properties of wheat straw, using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle analyze (CAA) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) other methods. The results show that the urea treatment of wheat straw epidermis and lignin chemical structure has undergone significant changes, most of the inorganic components of wheat straw has dissolved, making the cellulose from the lignin parcels released while the lignin from hard degradable mesh macromolecules into small molecules of a straight chain of easily biodegradable, so that the anaerobic microorganisms to the degradation of cellulose and lignin can be more easily.

Crop by-products are used as ruminants feeds in many parts of the world, but their high content of lignocellulose and low content of protein limits their use in productive farming systems. The nutritive value and utilization of low quality roughage can be improved by treatment with alkali. Urea is a safe and more readily available chemical than caustic soda in many countries. The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of level of urea treated wheat straw in combination with grass silage offered to dairy cattle.
