Even though the CP of ammoniated hay may be greater than the animals requirement, improved performance has been obtained in younger cattle by feeding a natural protein like cottonseed meal or feathermeal. Ammoniated hays were higher in TDN than untreated hays.
Ranchers report that cattle consume ammoniated hay better, and notice much less waste.
