VALDIVIA, V.; SANDOVAL CASTRO, C.A.; OTADUY, K. and KU VERA, J.C.. A simple device for total urine collection in browsing or grazing cows. Arch. zootec. [online]. 2010, vol.59, n.225, pp.149-152. ISSN 1885-4494.
The design and evaluation of a methodology for total urine collection in browsing and/or grazing cows is presented. The bag was test using 4 cows (Bos taurus x B. indicus) of 415 kg LW. Grazing/browsing time was 20 hours/day. The device worked well and without urine loss or contamination with faeces. Urine collection was on average: 12.8, 13.6, 11.97 and 12.3 kg/d and no significative differences were found.
