E. C. P. stands for EQUIVALENT
CRUDE PROTEIN. Nitrogen in such
materials as Urea can be turned into
protein by the unique digestive system
of cattle and other ruminants. The re-
sulting protein is equivalent to the crude
protein occurring widely in nature in
such feed ingredients as soybean meal
and linseed oil meal.
One ton of Urea costs a lot less than
a ton of soybean meal on today's mar-
ket. Yet a ton of Urea las six and one-
half times as.mucbx E.C.P. or Equivalent
