The European Union Nitrates Directives set a limit on the amount (170 kg/ha) of manure nitrogen (N, = faecal N + urine N) that may be applied to land each year. This limit has very significant implications for stocking rates on intensive livestock farms. Consequently, there is increasing interest in developing mitigation strategies to reduce N output in faeces and urine in animal production systems. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of dietary crude protein (CP) concentration on the efficiency of N utilisation in lactating dairy cows.

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.
