The objectives of this study were to: (1) quantify the relationship between fasting body weight (FBW, kg) and urinary creatinine excretion (UCE, mg/d) in Boer goats; (2) evaluate the urinary volume estimates obtained from creatinine concentrations in the spot samples collected at different time points; (3) compare them with the 24-h observed urine volume. Thirty growing Boer goats (18 ± 2.2 kg initial BW) were ...
