Urea is largely used as a fertilizer (ISy ), and as a non-protein feed supplement for sheep and cattle. The most important chemical use, which however accounts for only a small part of urea production, is in the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde resins. U is also used in the manufacture of adhesives, pharmaceuticals, dyes and various other materials. U.S. production 1981 7 0 megatonnes urea resins 1983 6 megatonnes. 

In the early 1930 s, when the prime research aim was the commercial synthesis of the sex hormones (whose structures had just been elucidated), the principal raw material available was cholesterol extracted from the spinal cord or brain of cattle or from sheep wool grease. This sterol (as its 3-acetate 5,6-dibromide) was subjected to a rather drastic chromic acid oxidation, which produced a variety of acidic, ketonic and hydroxylated products derived mainly by attack on the alkyl side-chain. The principal ketonic material, 3j -hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one, was obtained in yields of only about 7% another useful ketone, 3 -hydroxypregn-5-en-20-one (pregnenolone) was obtained in much lower yield. The chief acidic product was 3j -hydroxy-androst-5-ene-17j -carboxylic acid. All three of these materials were then further converted by various chemical transformations into steroid hormones and synthetic analogs ... 

The subsequent advance was rather fortuitous and rested more with serendipity than with scientific logic. A search was made for cheaper more effective replacements for casein hydrolysate. Amongst the tested materials was com steep liquor (CSL). CSL is a by-product of the manufacture of starch from maize kemals. Whole maize is incubated in warm water, at 50°C acidified with SO2. Thermophilic bacteria hydrolyse proteins and other components of the kemals, thereby loosening the starch granules. These are removed, leaving behind the steep liquor which is used to treat further maize kemals. Ultimately, the liquor is too viscous to re-use and the liquor is concentrated and used as cattle feed. It was this material that was used for penicillin fermentation. Surprisingly, the yield of penicillin increased by a further 5-10 fold giving yields of 50-100 ig ml.

Studies show that N20 was emitted from animal houses at the rate of 4-5 mg N m 2 d 1, with straw as bedding material, whereas when no bedding material was used, little or no N20 was emitted from slurry-based cattle or pig building as complete anaerobic condition would have maintained [52]. Deep litter system with fattening pigs showed much higher emission compared to slurry based pig houses, while mechanical mixing still further increased N20 emission [53]. In cattle collection yards, there had been very less or no N20 emission as the anaerobic condition prevents conversion of NH4+ to N03-.

Distillers Spent Grains. Distillers spent grain is the solid residue left after the grain has been fermented to make spirits, typically whisky. This residue is the unfermentable parts of the grain and is high in fibre. Traditionally, the only outlet for this material was as cattle food or as an effluent. In addition to the fibre, protein, fat and the insoluble vitamins and minerals are present. 

In South America, as in Africa, toxaphene is at present the material of choice for tick control on cattle. Applied as a spray at the 0.25% dosage, toxaphene controls Boophilus annulatus microplus for nearly 4 weeks. Raising the dosage to 0.75% produced no significant increased the duration of control, according to Laake. A mixture containing 0.25% benzene hexachloride and 0.50% DDT was notably less effective than 0.25% toxaphene. 

In a similar type of data collection, during 2000 to 2001 Wozniak (2002) examined the incidence of anabolic hormone residues in 5393 animals, consisting of cattle, pigs, horses, rabbits, chickens, geese, turkeys, ducks, and fish. Wozniak assayed for residues of diethylstibestrol, hexesterol, dienestrol, zeranol, trenbolone, and 19-noresterone. In addition, 632 cattle and swine were assayed for medroxyprogesterone and 1176 were assayed for natural 17-p-estradiol and testosterone. In only three heifers and two cows did serum testosterone exceed the MRL (EC 0.5 pg per liter) two bulls and four cows had an increased content of 17-(3-estradiol in their blood. A total of 11 animals of the 5393 examined (0.2%) had excessive quantities of hormone materials in their system. None of the other animals showed evidence of the presence of... 

Second, dead lambs were smeared with neatsfoot oil (an oil obtained by boiling feet and leg bones of cattle), left with the mother for 2-18 hours and then substituted by neatsfoot oil-treated foster lambs. Here 91% were accepted. The best acceptance rate (100%), however, was achieved by draping the skin of the dead lamb over the alien one. This is the method of choice because it is not only most effective but also saves labor as no treatment is necessaiy (Alexander eta/., 1987). Ewes accept alien lambs if they are rubbed with non-polar oils such as white soft paraffin or liquid paraffin. Polar materials such as polyethylene glycol, glycerol silicone, or diisooctyl phthalate have no effect. Ewes appear to use non-polar volatiles for discrimination (Alexander etal., 1989).
