Effect of dietary nitrogen source and crude protein content on nitrogen balance and lactating performance of dairy cows

Effect of dietary nitrogen source and crude protein content on nitrogen balance and lactating performance of dairy cows

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of two crude protein contents (CP) and two main nitrogen sources in the diet of dairy cows, using sugarcane as forage, on intake, total apparent digestibility, milk yield and composition, and nitrogen balance. Twelve Holstein cows in late lacta...
