Urea treatment of straw is generally done manually in
conventional practice, which needs a lot of time, labour
and storage area. To overcome these problems, a urea
solution spraying system for paddy straw baler
(rectangular type) was developed. This system was used
as the go spraying of urea solution on loose paddy straw
during conveying to compression chamber of the baler.
The nutritive values of straw viz., crude protein, in vitro
dry matter digestibility and metabolizable energy were
improved as compared to the untreated straw. The crude
protein in untreated paddy straw was 6.61%, which was
increased to 12.28% after urea treatment. The value of
metabolizable energy was also improved by 3% and in
vitro dry matter digestibility by 6% as compared to
untreated straw.
