This work aimed to quantify the endogenous purine derivatives in urine and establish the proportion of purines raised in abomasum that were recovered in urine of Nellore and Holsteins heifers, using abomasal infusion of RNA (Torula yeast) as source of purine. Eight heifers fistulated in rumen and abomasum were used, being four Nelore (Ne) and four Holsteins (Hol), with body weight (BW) of 270±7,76 and 225±7,16 kg, respectively, fed corn silage and concentrate (60:40). The feed intake was adjusted in 13 g/ kg BW. The heifers were allocated in two 4x4 Latin square design (LS), and each LS was composed by a genetic group and balanced for residual effect. The treatments consisted of increasing abomasum infusions (0, 33, 66, and 100 mmol/d). The experimental periods were constituted of 5 days to adaptation and 9 for sample collection. The sampling of the abomasal digesta and feces collection was made in days 6th to 9th, RNA infusion in days 9th to 13th, the total urine and feces collection in day 10th to 13th and sampling of rumen digesta for bacterial isolation in day 14 th. From 1st to 9th day of each experimental period each animal received 15 g of chromic oxide (Cr2O3), as external marker, in a single dose, via ruminal cannula at 10h00, to obtain the DM flow in abomasum. A 2-way Foley catheter with a 30-mL balloon was used during the total urine collection. The purine bases flow in abomasum was obtained with the sum of the value of each animal before infusion with the respective amount infused. The abomasal flow of DM was obtained from the ratio between the amounts of the Cr2O3 administered and its concentration in the abomasal digesta sample. The amount of microbial nitrogen in the abomasum was calculated using the abomasal N-RNA flow divided by the N-RNA:totalN ratio in the isolated bacteria at the rumen. The endogenous losses and the purine bases recovery as urinary PD were estimated by a linear regression between the daily urinary PD excretion (Y) and the purine bases in the abomasum (X), expressed in mmol/kg0,75, respectively represented by the intercept and by the regression coefficient, respectively. The statistical analyses were performed using PROC MIXED (SAS) assuming homogeneous variances among treatments by Kenward-Roger. The statistical procedures were conducted considering 0,05 as critical level of probability from the type I error. The means of nutrient intake were 3,40 kg/d of DM; 3,26 kg/d of organic matter (OM); 0,36 kg/d of crude protein (CP); 0,08 kg/d of ether extract (EE); 1,14 kg/d of neutral detergent fiber corrected ash and protein (apNDF); 1,70 kg/d of nonfiber carbohydrates (NFC) and 2,53 kg/d of total digestible nutrients (TDN); 13,72 and 4,63 g DM/kg BW of DM and apNDF, respectively. Abomasal infusion of RNA and the genetic groups did not affect the feed intake, when expressed in g/kg of BW and the total apparent digestibility of DM, OM, EE, CP apNDF and NFC (P>0,05) with means of 728,5; 744,9; 847,1; 601,0; 859,4 and 743,6 g/kg DM, respectively. The ruminal digestibility means of DM, OM, CP, EE, NDFap and NFC were 624,0; 664,5; 211,1; 134,4; 903,0 and 629,6 g/kg DM, respectively, and not differ (P>0,05) between the levels of infusion and the genetic groups. In relation to the daily urinary PD excretion (Y) and the purine bases in the abomasum (X), the follow equations were obtained: Ŷ= 0,389 + 0,926 X, when 0,389 mmol/kg0,75 represented the endogenous PD excretion and 0,926 was the urinary recovery of the purine bases in Nellore heifers; Ŷ= 0,439 + 0,911 X, when 0,439 mmol/kg 0,75 represented the endogenous PD excretion and 0,911 was the urinary recovery of the purine bases in Holsteins heifers; Ŷ = 0,405±0,148 + 0,923±0,077 × X; sXY = 0,219, when 0,405mmol/kg0,75 represented the endogenous PD excretion and 0,923 was the urinary recovery of the purine bases in both genetic groups. After adjustment of regression models, we observed that the latter equation can be used both for Nellore and for Holstein heifers. The urinary excretion of creatinine was 27,23 mg/kg BW and was not affected (P>0,05) by abomasal infusion of RNA and by genetic groups. In conclusion, there is no difference between Nellore and Holstein heifers for endogenous fraction of PD, for urinary recovery of purine bases and for the urinary excretion of creatinine. The mean values were 0,405, mmol/kg0,75 0,92 and 27,23 mg/kg BW, respectively.
