    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted to study the potential of a liquid slow-release urea-molasses product (Bonded Urea Plus®) for the inclusions in licks for ruminants. Six ruminal fistulated Merino wethers receive low-quality wheat straw (<3% crude protein) ad lib during Phase 1. Each sheep received 6 different licks over six 11-day treatment periods in a crossover design, which contained different sources of carbohydrates together with urea/molasses or Bonded Urea Plus® (BUP) Licks U & BU served as controls and did not contain any carbohydrates, while Licks UME & BUME included molasses meal (sugar source) and Licks UMI & BUME maize meal and starch (starch source) in addition to either urea/molasses or BUP.
