Description Crossbred heifers (16), 8-15 months old and 57-148 kg body weight, were divided into 4 comparable groups on the basis of weight and age. Treatments were untreated baled straw ad lib, and concentrate mixture to fulfil 100% CP and energy requirements (T₁), ammonia (urea) treated baled wheat straw ad lib. and concentrate mixture to provide 100% CP and energy (T₂), 75% CP and energy (T₃), and 125% CP and energy requirements (T₄).The highest (3.72 kg/1OO kg body weight) and lowest (2.88 kg/100 kg body weight) DMI were recorded in urea treated baled wheat straw diet and concentrate mixture in T₄ and T₃, respectively. Digestible dry matter intake values were 67.93,66.80,53.74 and 75.93 g/Kgw⁰⁷⁵ for T₁ T₂, T₃ and T₄ respectively. The straw DMI was 52.93,68.83,66.01 and 77.90 g/kgw⁰⁷⁵ for T₁, T₂, T₃ and T₄ respectively. There was no significant difference among treatments on total DMI, roughage DMI, CPI, DCP and digestible energy intake as percent body weight. Total energy intake (KCal/kgw⁰⁷⁵) T₁ was significantly higher (P
