The effect of CP concentration in the diet on urea kinetics and microbial usage of recycled urea in cattle: a meta-analysis

In ruminants, urea recycling is considered an evolutionary advantage. The amount of urea recycled mainly depends of the nitrogen (N) intake and the amount of organic matter (OM) digested in the rumen. Because recycled N contributes to meeting microbial N requirements, accurate estimates of urea recy...
