In this experiment the amount of rumen microbial protein sunthesized in sheep fed on ureatreated
rice straw was estimated by applying 355. The treated rice straw WRS c~pared to feed ins of the untreated rice straw with direct urea flupplementation in the rUllen as control of the increase in nitrogen content in the treated straw. There was a 30 percent increase in amount of microbial protein beins synthesized, however, the efficiency in terms of per unit organic matter was similar. Andi Djajanegara*Balai Penelitian Ternak
