Apparatus for Total Collection of Urine from Steers¹

Nutritional Physiology Group, Department of Animal Science, Iowa State University, Ames 50011

ABSTRACT

An inexpensive apparatus for total collection of urine from steers was constructed from cotton belting, Lexan,® Velcro,® an obstetrical sleeve, and surgical tubing. When attached, it enclosed a 13 by 18-cm oval area over the sheath and penis and was detachable for repeated use. It allowed reliable total collection of urine from steers without surgical intervention. Applications include urine collections during short radioisotope experiments and longer metabolic studies.
