Water for Dairy Cattle

Topic is informative.....

Sir Please let me understand the following paragraph Providing the opportunity for livestock to consume a relatively large amount of clean, fresh water is essential. Water is consumed several times per day and generally is associated with feeding or milking. Cows may consume 30 to 50 percent of their daily water intake within 1 hour after milking. Reported rates of water intake vary from 1 to 4 gallons per minute. On the basis of farm studies, the length of water troughs should be 2 inches per cow with an optimal height of 2432 inches. Reducing the height 2 to 3 inches may be logical for Jerseys. Water depth should be a minimum of 3 inches to allow the animal to submerge its muzzle 1 to 2 inches. Provide at least one watering device for every 15 to 20 cows, or a minimum of 2 feet of tank space per 20 cows. At least two water locations are needed in the loafing area for each group of cows. For confinement operations, waterers should be allocated at milking parlor exit and within 50 feet of the feed bunk or at every crossover in freestall barns. Heifers should be provided at least one watering space per 20 animals with a minimum of two waterers per group.

Thanks for good cover of water in dairy herds. The more water quality for milking cow, The more yielding and healthy herd...
