摘要:
The invention relates to methods, uses and products for modulating nitrogen utilisation in animals. The invention relates to products and animal feeds comprising secondary plant metabolites (such as acteoside, aucubin and catalpol obtainable in Plantago lanceolata animal feeds) and methods and uses thereof for reducing the proportion of total nitrogen excreted in the urine of an animal to the total nitrogen ingested by the animal; reducing the amount of nitrate derived from an animal leaching into ground or surface water; reducing nitrogenous or greenhouse gases derived from an animal; and reducing urinary nitrogen concentration in an animal. This invention has particular application to dairy cows although this should not be seen as limiting.
