Abstract
Dietary urea is rapidly hydrolyzed upon entering the rumen.The rapid hydrolysis of urea results in a lower efficient utilization of it,often exceeding the capacity of ammonia results in ammonia poisoning easily.Urease inhibitor can decrease the hydrolysis speed of urea and increase the efficient utilization of it.Now the effects of urease inhibitors on urea disappear rate and ammonia concentration in rumen,digestion of dietary nutrients and production performance in ruminants are reviewed in this paper.
