Abstract
A urine cup for continuous and complete collection of urine from cows was constructed from Plastisol, cotton webb strapping, Velcro, snap-fasteners, denim patchs, weather stripping, and vacuum hose. The urine cup was made from Plastisol using a heated lead mold. It was large enough to encloser a 9 cm .times. 6 cm area around the vulva of a cow and was attached by strapping and Velcro to patches glued to the rump. Urine cups were used repeatedly and provided for long-term collection of urine from cows, eliminating the need for indwelling catheters. Applications include long-term nutrient balance, radioisotope, and metabolism studies.
