Allicin enhances urea-N conversion to microbial-N by inhibiting urease activity and modulating the rumen microbiome in cattle

Abstract Background Urea serves as a vital nonprotein nitrogen source in ruminant nutrition, but its efficient utilization is often hampered due to rapid urease activity in the rumen. This study explores the potential of allicin, a garlic-derived compound, as a urease inhibitor to improve urea nitro...
