Abstract excerpt
Breeding cattle with low nitrogen emissions has been proposed as a countermeasure against eutrophication due to dairy production. Milk urea content (MU) could potentially serve as a new readily measured indicator trait for nitrogen emissions by cows. Therefore, we estimated genetic parameters related to MU and its relationship with other milk traits. We analysed 4 178 735 milk samples collected between January...
