The well-being of cattle depends on water in every season, but especially in the summer.<\/strong> Too often, the importance of water for dairy cows is underestimated, but it is fundamental to ensure their well-being. After all, milk is 80% composed of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the important things that should not be neglected when designing a dairy barn?<\/strong> These include not just the position, size, height and depth of the troughs, but also the quantity and quality of the water supplied. Normally, a working dairy cow drinks over 180 litres of water per day at an average of 10\/20 litres per drink. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a quality production you need quality water, so you should pay particular attention to its composition with multiple parameters, such as hardness, PH value, electrical conductivity, nitrates and nitrites, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRINKING FOR DAIRY COWS: THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE AND THE BENEFITS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another fundamental element to take into consideration when it comes to drinking for dairy cows is the temperature of the water supply. Several studies have established a temperature ranging from approximately 18\u00b0 to 24\u00b0 as ideal. <\/strong>Therefore, the preparation of the recirculation system in the design phase of the hydraulic system is fundamental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing how to evaluate and apply all this in a dairy cattle barn leads to countless benefits: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– higher intake of water and dry matter <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– increased ruminal efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– improved digestive efficiency of the rumen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– improved fermentation of long fibres<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

– faster ruminal transit<\/strong> with significant reabsorption of volatile fatty acids <\/p>\n\n\n\n
