This study aimed evaluating the excretion of purine derivatives and nitrogen compounds in zebu cattle grazing, on different days and times within days. The experiment was conducted in the cattle department of the Federal University of Viçosa / MG, using five Nelore heifers with an average body weight of 300 ± 15 kg and 20 months of age, in 5x5 Latin square design. The experimental treatments were defined to represent those commonly used in the dry season, as follows: control (mineral salt), concentrated with 20.31% crude protein (CP) on dry matter (DM) being offered (OF) level of 0.5 to 1% of body weight fasted (BWF) OF5 and OF10, respectively; and two concentrated self- regulating (SR) consumption, containing 69.38% CP on a DM basis (20% urea and 20% salt) offered ad libitun (SR70) and other concentrate containing 39.73% CP based on MS being offered ad libitum (SR40). The experimental periods was 18 days, with one day to perform 14 hours of fasting for weighing and adjustment of the quantities supplied, 12 days for adaptation to the experimental diets and five for total collection of urine and stool sample at the times of 0h00a.m. to 4h00a.m, 4h00a.m. to 8:00a.m., 8:00a.m. to 12:00p.m., 12:00p.m. to 4:00p.m., 4:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. and 20:00p.m. to 0:00a.m. For total collection of urine was used probe Folley number 26, coupled to polyethylene hose leading to a urine collection bag for urine closed system, which was emptied every two hours in the range of 8:00a.m. to 8:00p.m., and every four hours in the range from 8:00p.m. to 8:00a.m. and subsequently homogenized and cooled. The collected urine sampling was performed every four hours, measuring the volume, and withdrawing one sample were diluted in H 2 SO 4 at 0,036N and another don't diluted. To estimate fecal output, used the titanium dioxide, provided the total daily amount of 15g, between 9 th and 18 th day of each period. To estimate the intake of pasture, used the indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) as internal indicator. Was performed by collecting pasture technique for determining the square potentially digestible dry matter (PDDM) on the third day of each experimental period, and on days 14 th and 18 th was held grazing simulation to estimate the consumption of constituents of diets. In urine samples the concentrations of creatinine, total nitrogen, urea, uric acid and allantoin. For statistical analysis we used the statistical program SAS Proc Mixed. Dry matter intake 10was higher (P<0.05) for the treatment OF10 compared to SR70, SR40 and control treatments but was not different (P>0.05) treatment OF5. The CP intake increased by supplementation (P<0.05), which caused no effect on DM intake from pasture. Excretions of creatinine did not change treatment, day and sampling period (P>0.05) and had a mean of 23.03 ± 0.30 mg / kgPC. Urinary relations of allantoin (Al) and uric acid (UA) with creatinine were not affected (P>0.05) by treatments, collection days and times of collection. The total nitrogen relations:creatinine and urea nitrogen:creatinine in urine showed interaction (P<0.05) between treatment and sampling period. The relationship between urea nitrogen:total nitrogen was influenced (P<0.05) only at time of collection. The nitrogen balance (NB) in g/day did not differ between treatments OF10, SR70 and SR40, however these had higher retention of N (P<0.05) than treatments OF5 and control, which were not different. The NB, in g/ging, showed differences (P<0.05) between treatments with concentrated, which did not differ (P> 0.05), and control treatment, with the lowest NB. The production of microbial N was not affected (P>0.05) by treatments. The microbial efficiency gPBmic/kgMOD and gPBmic/kgNDT was affected (P<0.05) by supplementation, being higher (P<0.05) for OF5, OF10 and SR70 treatments, which did not differ. The control and OF5, treatments had the lowest values were similar. The lack of effect of day and the collection period on allantoin and uric acid compared with creatinine has wide practical application, enabling use spot urine sample to calculate the excretion of purine derivatives at any time of day or night, and consequently the microbial production. Depending on the variations observed for total nitrogen and urea nitrogen relations with creatinine over 24 hours is not recommended the use of a single spot urine sample for determination of these nitrogen compounds.
