Mammary gland, kidney and rumen urea and uric acid transporters of dairy cows differing in milk urea concentration
Abstract The milk urea concentration (MUC) serves as indicator of urinary nitrogen emissions, but at comparable crude protein (CP) intake, cows with high (HMU) and low (LMU) MUC excrete equal urea amounts. We hypothesized that urea and uric acid transporters and sizes of the kidney, mammary gland, a...
