Hepatic urea, creatinine and uric acid metabolism in dairy cows with divergent milk urea concentrations

Abstract Milk urea concentration is an indicator for dietary nitrogen (N)-supply and urinary N-excretion. Dairy cows with high (HMU) compared to low milk urea (LMU) concentration have greater plasma urea, creatinine and uric acid concentrations, but if the liver metabolism accounts for these differe...
