In facing ever more limited resources and changing market conditions and in the attempt to enhance productivity for strengthening livelihoods, many technologies have been used to improve feed use and animal performance at the faro level. A particularly successful example, in terms of both geographic range of use and relative simplicity in formulation and preparation, is the urea-molasses multi-nutrient block technology. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of development and use of the block technology in countries around the world and it might be of great practical value to extension workers, students, researchers and those thinking of using such feed supplementation technology or of starting commercial production.

Crop residues mainly rice straw, corn stover, wheat straw, millet straw, and other similar types of residues are predominantly used as basal feed for ruminants in Nepal. Poor quality forages and cereal straws are of low quality and digestible protein content. Protein supplements such as oil cakes are expensive to buy, if available at all. To improve production, the efficiency of utilization of the available feed resources can be optimized by the use of supplements that provide the deficient nutrients. This book, therefore highlights the use of molasses and non-protein-nitrogen sources such as urea, in the form of multinutrient blocks, to compensate for the nitrogen deficiency in fibrous feeds. Eight cross-bred dairy cows of 2nd to 3rd parity and between the 2nd to 5th months of lactation were selected and divided into two equal groups.One group was kept as a control (on routine feeding)and the other group was supplemented with Urea molasses multinutrient blocks (UMMB) 400g /cow/day for 30 days in addition to routine feeding.The results of this trial should motivate the farmers, especially of the developing countries, to adopt this feeding technology to their livestocks

A major constraint to livestock production in developing countries is the scarcity and fluctuating quantity and quality of the year-round feed supply. Livestock are fed mainly on low quality agro-industrial by-products. The addition of foliage from tree leaves or supplementation with seed meals or even urea in the form of urea molasses multinutrient blocks can improve the utilization of low quality roughages mainly through the supply of nitrogen to rumen microbes. This publication presents results from the nutritional component of a project devoted to improving animal productivity and reproductive efficiency. This publication is an excellent reference source for researchers, students and extension workers and will help improve the utilization of feed resources and enhance animal productivity to meet the challenges imposed by the 'livestock revolution' taking place in developing countries.--Publisher's description.
