The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of non-dietary factors on the concentration of milk urea nitrogen (MUN), as an indicator of efficiency of nutrient utilization by lactating dairy cows. A dataset containing 7,006 observations from 855 lactating Holstein cows were used. Milk yield, body weight, days in milk and number of lactation were collected on the milk sampling days. Monthly samples of milk were collected to determine contents of milk fat, protein, lactose, total solids, MUN […]
