With the purpose of to evaluate the milk composition of cows fed with sugar cane whose crude protein had been corrected with soybean meal and different urea levels and ammonia sulphate, twelve dairy Holstein pure breed and crossbreed cows maintained in tie stall fed ad libitum twice a day had been used. The forage:concentrated relationship at the beginning of experiment was 55:45%, corresponding 1kg of intent ration for each 2kg of milk produced. The animals were distributed in three Latin squares 4x4, according to lactation period. The duration of each period was 17 days, being the first 10 days of adaptation and seven days to data collection. The experiment was composed of four treatments: sugar-cane with soy bean meal and sugar-cane with 0.4; 0.8 and 1.2% of the mixture urea and ammonia sulphate (9:1). No difference was found among the diets for milk production with and without correction to 3.5% fat, neither for milk composition and serum urea nitrogen (SUN) when the diet with soy meal based concentrate was compared with the diets with different urea levels. The soy meal can be used for protein correction the sugar-cane. For correction using the mixture urea and ammonia sulfate (9:1) the level of 1.2% is recommended.
