Dietary carbohydrate composition modifies the milk N efficiency in late lactation cows fed low crude protein diets

Nitrogen emissions from dairy cows can be readily decreased by lowering the dietary CP concentration. The main objective of this work was to test whether the milk protein yield reduction associated with low N intakes could be partially compensated for by modifying the dietary carbohydrate compositio...
