Identification of Genomic Regions Influencing N-Metabolism and N-Excretion in Lactating Holstein- Friesians

Identification of Genomic Regions Influencing N-Metabolism and N-Excretion in Lactating Holstein- Friesians

Excreted nitrogen (N) of dairy cows contribute to environmental eutrophication. The main N-excretory metabolite of dairy cows is urea, which is synthesized as a result of N-metabolization in the liver and is excreted via milk and urine. Genetic variation in milk urea (MU) has been postulated but the...
