Urea is too cruel on the gut to feed that that age I’ve found. 20 weeks soon enough

They are too young and with poorly developed rumens to utilise urea.
I would avoid urea until they are at least eight months old.
And from an economic viewpoint, the price of urea is far too high compared to the prices of barley and (for eg) soya. The soya not only provides good quality and very safe and palatable protein, it also has a higher ME than the barley it replaces.
