This study examined the in ̄uence of dietary variation on the usefulness of urinary spot purine derivatives (PD) collected at three periods (8:00±9:30, 14:00±15:30 and 20:00±21:30 hours) as predictors of intake by cattle. Diets comprised teff (Eragrotis tef) straw, fresh and dried napier grass and fresh napier grass supplemented with 1.5 (as fed) of dry alfalfa hay. Variation in dry matter intak...
