Evaluation of the reliability and repeatability of automated milk urea nitrogen testing.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability (precision and accuracy), and repeatability of an infrared method of determining milk urea nitrogen. The reference method used for the reliability assessment was a wet-chemistry, enzymatic determination of milk urea nitrogen. Reliability and repeatability, as measured by concordance correlation coefficients, were 0.97 and 0.99, respectively.
