carried out to determine the relationship between the amount of Milk Urea
Nitrogen (MUN) and nutritional level in dairy cows. </span> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Garamond, serif;"> <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;">The research material was milk samples
which were collected from 100 different commercial dairy farms. Three groups
were assigned </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;">according to the milk
analysis in the experiment. Group A, those having normal MUN values between
12-16 mg / dl in milk samples, group B, those having less MUN value and group
C, those having high MUN value. </span> Apart from this <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;">acetone, Beta hydroxy butyric acid (BHBA), total solid matter, </span> fat,
fat-free dry matter, crude protein (CP),true protein (TP), lactose, saturated
fatty acids (SFA), total unsaturated fatty acids (TUFA), Polyunsaturated fatty
acid (PUFA), Monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) and aflatoxin M1 <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;">values measured in milk and these were compared
with low, normal and high MUN levels. </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;">In
the study the MUN values of the groups were 14.46, 10.05 and 20.15 mg / dl
respectively. </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;">At the end of the
study, although the differences between the groups’ acetone values were
statistically significant (P <0.05), the values of all three groups were
among the normal acetone values determined for dairy cows. </span> <span style="letter-spacing:-.05pt;"> Moreover,
there were differences in milk regarding BHBA, fat, CP,TP, SFA, MUFA and AFM1
values (P<0.01) between the groups. As a concluded that some further
detailed studies are required to get to know a deeper understanding of MUN
levels in milk cows between acetone, BHBA and other parameters and metabolic
diseases. </span> </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi}
