The fate of urine nitrogen: A grassland lysimeter study in Ireland
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, 2014-02)
In grazed pasture systems, the nitrogen (N) contained in a cattle urine patch may be up to 1200 kg N ha⁻¹. The majority of this N is in excess of plant requirements and is vulnerable to environmental loss. In this study, ...
Confirmation of co-denitrification in grazed grassland
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-11-30)
Pasture-based livestock systems are often associated with losses of reactive forms of nitrogen (N) to the environment. Research has focused on losses to air and water due to the health, economic and environmental impacts ...
The fate of urine nitrogen with use of a nitrification inhibitor
(2012)
Pasture-grazed ruminants in Ireland contribute a significant proportion of nitrogen (N) loss to the environment through excreta deposition. Feed N utilisation by the ruminant animal is low with 60-90% of ingested N returned ...
