Since long worldwide attempts have been made to
analyse the effect of cane molasses as cattle feeds.
Previous studies on the effect of cane molasses on the
digestibality of a complete ration fed to dairy cows had
indicated that the digestibility of the CF, the nitrogen free
extract and the ether extract was not uniformly affected in
either direction by the presence of molasses in the ration
and also molasses tends to depress the digestibility of
crude protein and dry matter .
However, supplementation of Urea-molasses (UM) in
dairy rations have shown positive effects on the
performance of ruminants in many different countries
Soham. Moreover, the effect of UM-straw on
the productive and reproductive performance of
indeginious cows under the village conditions of
Bangladesh had suggested that UM-straw can be fed for
improving the said performances . Another study in the same year had also shown the
beneficiary effect of feeding UM treated straw on bufallo
cows in Bangladesh . Also, the studies on effect of UM multinutrient block on the
reproductive performance of indigeneous cows had
suggested its positive effect on fertility under the village
conditions of Bangladesh .
