To test the accuracy of creatinine as a marker for estimating urinary volume and its use as a nutritional index, the possible interference of forage intake and forage quality over creatinine excretion was evaluated. For this, sheep were fed different levels of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum(L) Leeke) or Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam). The experiment consisted of a compilation of digestibility trials (n=6) with pearl millet or Italian ryegrass in completely randomized designs with four replications and four forage levels: 1.5, 2.0, 2.5% (kg dry matter (DM)/ 100 kg of live weight (LW)). The trials were repeated at different periods to evaluate how stable the average metabolic excretion of creatinine is. In each trial, total urine collection was performed individually during a period of 24 hours for five consecutive days and subsequently analyzed by colorimetry for creatinine and purine derivatives. The creatinine excretion was not affected (P>0.05) by forage offer or forage type, but there were period effects (P=0.0001). The average creatinine excretion for both forages was 0.21mmol/kg PV0,75. Linear regressions between the purine derivatives:creatinine index with total excretion of purine derivatives were detected for pearl millet (P0,05) pelo consumo de forragem ou pelo tipo de forragem, mas foi influenciada pelo período (P=0,0001). A excreção média de creatinina para ambas as forragens foi 0,21mmol/kg PV0,75. Regressões lineares entre os índices derivados de purina:creatinina com a excreção total de derivados de purina foram detectadas para milheto (P |
