Abstract

A portable apparatus that quantitatively collects feces and urine from cows and heifers without contamination is described. This equipment employs an inflatable urethral catheter connected to a collecting container carried on the back of the animal. A vinyl-coated fecal collecting bag is also used. This equipment is simple, relatively inexpensive and has been successfully tested under a wide variety of conditions.
