Effect of Condition of Animal on the Creatinine Excretion of Bovine Animals^1,2,

Dairy Husbandry Department, University of Minnesota, St. Paul

ABSTRACT

Creatinine excretion was studied with members of two sets of identical triplet bulls and one set of identical twin steers. The animals in each identical set were fed different amounts of energy so as to study creatinine excretion with identical animals differing in condition. The results indicate that fat bulls had higher creatinine coefficients than their thin mates. The work with steers showed that the fat steer had a slightly lower creatinine coefficient than his thin mate.
