contents Use of BUN and MUN as Guides for Protein and Energy Supplementation in Cattle Andrew C. Hammond Agrociencias Cattle protein nutrition milk urea nitrogen blood urea nitrogen As an adjunct to monitoring body weight changes and body condition score, blood or milk urea nitrogen (BUN or MUN) can be a useful tool for monitoring the protein- energy status of cattle. In healthy beef cows or finishing steers, urea nitrogen concentrations of less than about 7 mg/dl would indicate a deficiency of dietary protein (nitrogen) relative to the intake of digestible energy. In rapidly growing cattle or high producing dairy cows, urea nitrogen concentrations of less than about r5mg/dl indicate a relative deficiency of dietary protein. Urea nitrogen concentrations of greater than 19 to zo mg/dl have been associated with reduced conception and pregnancy rates in dairy cows. 1998 artículo científico 0122-8706 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=449953020007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4499 Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria application/pdf Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.2
