The Urea block above was palatable to both cattle and goats and in the initial period of both trials the time of access had to be limited to avoid an excessive intake of Urea. The consumption of the block became stable after about ten days from the commencement of the trial. On average, the intake of the block was 50 g/head/day for cattle and 10 g/head/day for goats. Thus a ULB block weighing 2 kg is sufficient for one head of cattle for twenty days or for 10 goats for ten days.
