Extract

A series of studies have been undertaken to examine effects of dietary protein source and concentration on milk production, energy and nitrogen (N) utilisation efficiencies and fertility in dairy cows. The present study evaluated effects of dietary crude protein (CP) concentration on energetic efficiency and methane emission in lactating dairy cows.
