We evaluated the effect of four levels of mixing urea:ammonium sulfate (9:1) (Urea) on sugarcane (0, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2%, fed basis) on consumption, on the intake and diet digestibility, production performance, metabolism of nitrogenous compounds and economy of diets in dairy cows producing less than 15 kg/day. We used 12 Holstein cows distributed in three 4x4 Latin squares. Diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous initially containing 12.5% crude protein, dry matter basis. The concentrated feed has been supplied in proportion to the milk production, making it a ratio of 1 kg for every 3 kg of milk. The sugarcane used had 21.9 brix. No effect of urea level in cane sugar on the intake and digestibility of dietary constituents, as well as on the production and composition of milk. It was found that the increase in the level of urea in sugar cane increases (P < 0.05) linearly the concentration of nitrogen-urea at the plasma, urinary excretion of nitrogen-urea (NUU in g/day) and the contribution of nitrogen-urea in the urinary excretion of nitrogen and reduce (P < 0.05) milk production per unit of nitrogen excreted in the urine. Although there wasn't detected significant effects (P > 0.05) for urinary excretion of nitrogen (UN) and nitrogen balance (NB), there was an increase of 50.3% on the UN and the consequent reduction 112.8% for the BN with increasing from 0 to 1.2% urea in sugarcane. These results demonstrate that even using sugarcane with high sugar content (50.5% of CNFcp, DM basis), the increased level of urea extends ureogênese and losses of nitrogen (N) in urine, reducing the efficiency of use of N, increasing energy expenditure and environmental liability. From the sensitivity analysis of the balance with the price of urea, it was found that the use of the same is feasible when the price is equal to or less than R$ 2.0/kg, equivalent to 2.17 times the price of kg of soybean, fed basis. In addition, it was found that regardless of the price range between R$ 0.40 to R$ 2,0/kg, the urea level that maximizes the balance with supply remains at 1.20%, fed basis of sugarcane.
