Extract

Since CAP reform and environmental problems, there is, in agriculture, a tendency to reduce the production. Reduction of nitrogen fertilizer was suggested to decrease intensification. Nowadays, high quality milk has to be produced for the dairy industry, in order to be processed as cheese, butter,... Another aspect in milk production is the payment based on the composition (Beguin, 1994). The aim of this experiment was to study the effects of a reduction in nitrogen fertilizer on milk yield, butterfat, protein, urea and cells contents. The trial was repeated over four years consecutively.
