Ruma Pro offers ruminant livestock producers a safe, efficient, and cost effective
replacement for feed grade urea and expensive natural protein products.

Feed efficiency data from Texas Tech and New Mexico State University
feeding trials indicate:

a. Ruma Pro was 8.6% better than cottonseed meal
b. Ruma Pro was 4.3% better than feed grade urea.
c. Ruma Pro was 4.2% better than soybean meal.

Preliminary carcass data from feedlot feeding trials indicate a positive trend
towards several carcass characteristics. However, additional results from a large
number of genotypes will have to be collected before data can be better
analyzed.

Ref. Study C - Technical Report No. T-5-356, 1995. Study D - New Mexico State
University, 2000. Experiment 2 research from New Mexico State University
indicates that when Ruma Pro was used as the total supplemental protein
source, feed efficiency was significantly increased. Ref. Study D

Range Supplements

Ruma Pro can be used in all types of range supplements.

•Pellets
•Cubes
•Poured Blocks
•Liquids

The slow release properties of Ruma Pro distinguish it from all other forms of
protein and non-protein nitrogen sources, such as urea. Highly digestible calcium
also makes Ruma Pro an excellent ingredient for range products.

Most range supplements are fed in low dietary energy situations. And, since urea
utilization is limited by the amount of total digestible nutrients (TDN) available in
the diet, the use of urea as a means to improve the protein profile in the rumen of
animals in range conditions is very limited. The single most important factor
influencing the amount of urea a ruminant animal can utilize is the digestible
energy or total digestible nutrients (TDN) content of the ration.

Because of its unique properties Ruma Pro, when used as a protein source in
ranges situations, should more nearly match the energy available in the rumen
and, therefore provide a more suitable form of protein supplementation.

Dairy

The unique handling and nutritional qualities of Ruma Pro make it an excellent
source of slow release NPN and highly digestible calcium for dairy diets.

Handling Characteristics:

•Mixes well with all types of liquid supplements
•Can be added directly to TMR
•Can be added to all forms of supplement (pellets, cubes, blocks)
•Works well in a variety of diets (low moisture - high moisture)
•Ruma Pro is slightly tacky
•Aids in reducing fines

Nutritional Attributes:

•Low moisture (68.00% - 70.00% dry matter)
•Excellent source of sustained release NPN.
•Soluble liquid calcium - high bioavailability

Improved safety, efficiency, and value make Ruma Pro an effective replacement
for feed grade urea and expensive natural protein products in dairy rations.

Dairy trials are currently being conducted. Results will be reported as they
become available.
