Beef Cattle Management - Ammoniated Straw

Ammoniated straw may be an option. Ammoniation of straw with 60 pounds of anhydrous ammonia per ton of straw will increase cattle performance and make it possible to utilize wheat straw as the only roughage in the diet, something not recommended for untreated straw.

NOTE:

A summary of four trials is presented in Table 2 indicating that actual daily gain was improved by .31 to .82 pounds daily.
