Total urinary creatinine (UC) was measured three times a day between day 5 prepartum and day 4 postpartum in 13 Yorkshire sows. Total UC remained unchanged during days 5, 4, and 3, and decreased (P > 0.05) during days 2 and 1 prepartum. After parturition, levels increased (P 0.05). Prediction equations based on LW were developed for estimating CUCE. Results indicated that if UC is to be utilized as an index for expressing concentrations of urinary metabolites, during the first 2 days following parturition, correction must be made for CUCE.
