Acetohydroxamic acid at a concentration of 1 .times. 10-6 M, 6 .times. 10-5 M and 1 .times. 10-3 M inhibited urease of intact rumen microbes in vitro by 11, 50 and 74%. Inhibition of rumen urease by the acid reached equilibrium state, unlike jack bean urease. Inhibition was maximum over a broad range of pH (8-10) and it did not resemble the pH activity profile of rumen urease. Sulfhydryl compounds did not reverse the inhibition; addition of these compounds prior to acetohydroxamic acid addition prevented inhibition. The nature of inhibition was noncompetitive with inhibitor constant 4.8 .times. 10-5 M. Acetohydroxamic acid at a concentration that produced 50% urease inhibition did not affect rumen cellulase and proteolytic enzymes in vitro. The complex of acetohydroxamic acid-rumen urease is dissociable on dialysis. [Feeding of urea to animals (ruminant) is discussed.].
