Relationship between milk urea content and important milk traits in Holstein cattle

Breeding cattle with low nitrogen emissions has been proposed as a countermeasure against eutrophication due to dairy production. Milk urea content (MU) could potentially serve as a new readily measured indicator trait for nitrogen emissions by cows. Therefore, we estimated genetic parameters relate...
