Abstract

Milk urea content is an important parameter when estimating cows’ nitrogen excretion. The ultimate goal of this research is to create a model predicting the N excretion of a dairy farm based on milk urea content. But it is first necessary to quantify the dietary factors and possibly other factors that influence milk urea content. Not all factors influencing milk urea content are fully known. Previous research has indicated that dietary influences may induce important differences in milk urea content, even at comparable energy and protein supplies.
