Abstract
The use of an ureide of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is lactosyl, X is selected from the group consisting of O, S or .dbd.NH, and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, glucosyl and alkyl, as a non-protein nitrogen source in ruminant feedstuffs or feed supplements, and a process for preparing such an ureide.
Claims6
A ruminant feedstuff composition for increasing beef and milk production containing as a non-protein nitrogen source an effective amount of a compound of the general formula ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is lactosyl, X is a functional group selected from the group consisting of O, S and .dbd.NH, and R.sub.2 is a functional group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, glucosyl and alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms and a suitable nutritional base.
A method for increasing beef and milk production in ruminants by administering thereto a non-protein nitrogen source which comprises a compound of the general formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 is lactosyl, X is a functional group selected from the group consisting of O, S, and .dbd.NH, and R.sub.2 is a functional group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, glucosyl and alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which compound is up to about 50% of the daily intake of diet nitrogen.
