Urea concentration in collared peccary milk as an indicator of protein nutritional status

RL Lochmiller, EC Hellgren, WE Grant, and LW Varner


ABSTRACT

Milk urea nitrogen (UN) concentration was examined as a possible index to protein-energy intake in female collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu). Captive adults were bred and assigned to one of four experimental diets through gestation and lactation. Females fed a high protein diet produced milk with UN concentrations exceeding those of low-protein-fed females. A low energy intake tended to elevate UN concentrations in milk.
