From page 95...
... (g) Does the growth or production requirement for amino acids exceed the capacity of rumen microbial synthesis so that some rumen bypass of natural protein is needed?

From page 96...
... Except by starvation prior to feeding, improper formulation, or use of a supplement not intended for direct feeding, no clear cases of urea toxicity or long-term detrimental effects have been reported. Research results of the next few years will provide much-needed answers for those questions that must be resolved in order to define those specific conditions under which added NPN will be beneficial.
