1. High-Efficiency NPN Source (~288% Equivalent Crude Protein)

Each unit of FGU delivers nitrogen equivalent to ~288% crude protein, allowing partial replacement of expensive true-protein feeds (soybean meal, cottonseed meal, canola meal). Rumen microbes convert urea-N into microbial protein, which is then digested by the animal — a proven strategy to cut feed costs by 15–30% without sacrificing performance.

2. Feed-Safe Low Biuret (≤ 1.0%, Premium ≤ 0.6%)

Biuret is a urea by-product that, at high levels, reduces palatability and interferes with rumen microbial protein synthesis. Raison FGU strictly controls biuret to ≤ 1.0% (with a Premium ≤ 0.6–0.9% option), ensuring rumen health and consistent intake.

3. Uniform Prilled Granules for Perfect TMR Blending

Fine, consistent prill size (0.85–2.8 mm) ensures even distribution in TMR mixers and premix batches — no segregation, no “hot spots” of over-consumption. The prilled form also dissolves faster in the rumen, supporting rapid but manageable ammonia release when paired with fermentable carbs.

4. Heavy-Metal Controlled & Fully Documented

Every batch is tested for Pb, As, Cd to meet feed-additive regulations (EU EFSA-approved NPN status; GMP+/HACCP compliant). Shipped with full COA, MSDS, and third-party inspection — hassle-free customs for feed import markets.

5. Versatile Inclusion Formats

Perfect for TMR systems, feed premixes, mineral/vitamin blocks, and protein supplements​ for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, and goats. Can be blended with molasses, grain, or silage bases.

6. Moisture-Proof Packaging for Feed Mills

25 kg / 50 kg laminated PP bags (moisture-proof), 1000 kg UV-stabilized jumbo bags, or bulk. Bags are coded for batch traceability — critical for feed safety audit trails.

Application Methods

Broadcasting: Spread evenly across the soil surface using calibrated spreaders. For conventional tillage, incorporate into the top 5–10 cm of soil with light harrowing within 24 hours to initiate moisture penetration. In no-till systems, apply immediately before rainfall (>10mm) or irrigate within 12 hours. Ideal for pre-plant basal application in broadacre cereals, pastures, and oilseed crops.

Side-Dressing / Banding: Place fertilizer 5–10 cm beside and 5 cm below the seed row. Unlike conventional urea, SCU has minimal burn risk, but proper placement ensures root interception as the coating activates. For corn, apply at the V6–V8 growth stage; for winter cereals, apply at tillering to early stem elongation; for perennial pastures, apply after each grazing or cutting cycle.

Starter / Pop-Up Fertilizer: SCU is exceptionally safe for in-furrow applications due to its low salt index and controlled release. Place 2–5 cm beside and below the seed to provide steady nitrogen and sulfur to developing seedlings without osmotic shock or ammonia toxicity.

Fertigation (Surface Irrigation Only): SCU granules are NOT RECOMMENDED for drip/micro-sprinkler systems — granules will clog emitters and filters. For flood irrigation or pivot systems with drop tubes, broadcast granules onto the field surface and wash into the soil profile with moving water. Do not inject granules into pressurized irrigation lines.

Foliar Spray: STRICTLY PROHIBITED. SCU is formulated exclusively for soil application. The sulfur coating and urea core will not dissolve in spray tanks, causing severe equipment clogging and irreversible leaf burn (phytotoxicity) if applied to foliage.

 

Precautions & Best Practices

Soil Temperature Dependency: Release rates are directly tied to soil temperature. In cold soils (<10°C), release slows significantly; in hot soils (>25°C), release accelerates. Adjust early-spring application rates upward if soil temperatures remain consistently low.

Soil Moisture Requirement: Moisture must penetrate the sulfur coating to dissolve the urea core. In soils with <40% field capacity, release will be negligible. Ensure adequate pre-application irrigation or time application before forecast rainfall.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse with relative humidity <70%. Stack bags on wooden pallets (max 10 layers high) to prevent ground moisture wicking. Keep bags sealed until use and implement a FIFO (First-In-First-Out) inventory system.

Handling & Mixing: Avoid excessive mechanical handling that fractures the sulfur coating — damaged granules lose controlled-release properties. Physically compatible with MAP, DAP, potash, and TSP, but never mix with lime/limestone products, which accelerate coating degradation. Conduct a jar test before blending with pesticides.

Environmental Protection: Avoid application to frozen/snow-covered ground (nutrients leach during thaw) or within 10 meters of water bodies. Do not apply during heavy rainfall (>25mm/day) to prevent runoff.

Safety: Wear nitrile gloves, N95 dust masks, and safety goggles during handling. Sulfur dust is combustible in confined, high-concentration atmospheres — keep away from open flames or ignition sources. Wash exposed skin thoroughly after use.

Quick Conversion Factor
1% inclusion of Raison FGU 46-0-0 = 2.875% equivalent crude protein (46% N × 6.25 standard CP conversion factor)Simple Formulation Formula
Required FGU (g/head/day) = (Target CP reduction from true protein × Daily DM intake (kg)) / 2.875

Example: For a lactating cow with 20kg daily DM intake, replacing 0.5kg CP from soybean meal:
FGU required = 0.5kg CP / 2.875 = 0.174kg (174g) FGU per head per day
Inclusion rate = (0.174kg / 20kg DM) × 100 = 0.87% of total ration DM

Animal Category	Production Stage	Recommended FGU Inclusion (% of DM Ration)	Max Daily Allowance (g/head)	Required Fermentable Carbs (% of DM)
Lactating Dairy Cows	Early/Mid Lactation	0.5–1.2%	250g	≥25%
Beef Finishing Cattle	Finishing Phase (>350kg)	0.8–1.5%	300g	≥28%
Growing Beef Heifers	200–350kg Body Weight	0.4–1.0%	200g	≥22%
Ewes	Late Gestation/Lactation	0.3–0.8%	80g	≥20%
Goats	Lactating/Growing	0.4–1.0%	100g	≥22%

Critical Safety & Formulation Rules for Feed Mills

• Ruminant-Only: FGU is strictly for animals with functional rumens.
  NEVER feed to monogastrics (pigs, poultry, horses, fish, pets) – fatal toxicity risk.
• Max Inclusion Limit: Never exceed 1.5% of total ration DM for any ruminant category to avoid acute ammonia toxicity.
• Carbohydrate Sync: Always pair FGU with readily fermentable carbs (grains, molasses, high-moisture corn). Insufficient carbs cause rumen ammonia spikes.
• Gradual Introduction: Increase FGU dosage over 21 days (25% → 50% → 100% target) to allow rumen microbial adaptation.
• Protein Replacement Cap: FGU can replace up to 30–40% of total ration crude protein from true protein sources (soybean meal, cottonseed meal) maximum.
• Traceability: Batch-code all FGU-containing premixes/TMRs per feed safety audit requirements. Include clear “Not for Monogastric Use” labeling on all finished feeds.
