Nitrogen And Phosphorus Nutrition Of Cattle REducing the Environmental Impact of Cattle Operations

There are tremendous benefits to feeding ruminants nitrogen and phosphorus supplements, in terms of milk production and productivity. However what goes in, must also come out. Nitrogen and phosphorus excretions from dairy cattle are a major environmental pollutant. This book describes the latest knowledge in nitrogen and phosphorus nutrition of cattle including requirements, ruminal and total tract metabolism, possibilities of increasing the efficiency of nitrogen utilization and reducing nitrogen and phosphorus excretions from dairy and beef operations. It also includes aspects of the effects of dietary nitrogen and phosphorus on the reproductive efficiency of cattle.Pfeffer, Ernst is the author of 'Nitrogen And Phosphorus Nutrition Of Cattle REducing the Environmental Impact of Cattle Operations', published 2006 under ISBN 9780851990132 and ISBN 0851990134.
