What is it about?
Supplementation of urea feed blocks enriched with cottonseed meal as a source of undegradable protein will enhance the reproductive performance of ewes as well as semen quality, sexual activity, and some blood characteristics of rams grazing stubble (low-quality roughage).

Why is it important?
The urea feed blocks enriched with undegradable protein had a positive effect on ewe fertility, improve the semen quality of rams, and increase the economic income of sheep owners consequently.
Perspectives
These positive impacts of urea feed blocks with undegradable protein on the fertility of ewes and rams will encourage owners to apply this technique to their animals that grazing stubble with minimum costs. This will increase their economic income annually.
