Urea and short-chain fatty acids metabolism in Holstein cows fed a low-nitrogen grass-based diet

Three ruminally cannulated and multicatheterised lactating dairy cows were used to investigate the effect of different supplement strategies to fresh clover grass on urea and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism in a zero-grazing experiment with 24-h blood and ruminal samplings. Fresh clover gra...
