[QUOTE="Helpinghand, post: 7839862, member: 147753"] High milk urea levels indicate there is inefficient use of protein in the diet, which can lead to reduced fertility (because it impacts the uterine environment) it is worth checking whether cows need more readily available energy to balance the high degradable protein levels in the diet, which is a common thing in grass based diets due to the high levels of digestible protein in grass. Urea is again all front end protein as grass, in many cases you end up adding more of what the animal is already struggling to utilise, a lot of energy is expended converting ammonia to urea in the liver. This energy could be used for milk protein output, improved fertility and more milk. [/QUOTE]
