Nitrogen Excretion by Dairy Cows Grazing Plantain (<i>Plantago lanceolata</i>) Based Pastures during the Lactating Season

The use of plantain pasture in dairy systems can potentially reduce nitrogen (N) leaching losses via the lower N concentration in the urine (UNc) of cows. Reducing the urinary N load while cows graze pastures can reduce the risk of N leaching losses from urine patches. Research needs to demonstrate...
