“…There are significant variations in the water intake of dairy cattle across different production systems and milk yield levels, with limited research supporting current water use estimates. Singh et al [25] highlight that water intake in dairy cattle may be influenced by factors such as breeds, age, properties of feeds, water qualities, and quantities, as well as management practices associated with watering animals. Due to the impact of these factors, more research on a country-wide basis is warranted to recommend water supply practices for dairy animals.…”

The aim of the study is to discern benchmarks for the indicators L water cow−1 day−1 and L water kg milk−1 day−1 per type of production system and season. A total of 876 commercial dairy farms underwent comprehensive water consumption monitoring from January 2021 to December 2022. The monitored water consumptions were animal drinking water and water usage for cleaning. Confined systems exhibited the highest average for animal drinking and cleaning, 87.5 L water cow−1 day−1 and 84.4 L water cow−1 day−1, respectively. Semi-confined systems presented the lowest average for animal drinking, 54.4 L water cow−1 day−1. Pasture systems showed the lowest average for cleaning, 45.2 L water cow−1 day−1. The benchmarks proposed in this study can serve as the first references for animal drinking and milking parlor washing consumption for production systems in tropical conditions.

“…Optimum nutritional management of dairy animals is one of the main keys to success for dairy farming [9,54,55]. Safe quality and quantity of water should be assured at farm as a first step towards nutritional management for dairy animals [3]. Along with the pro- vision of a balanced diet to the animals, provision of mineral mixture containing necessary minerals such as selenium, zinc, manganese, copper, etc.…”

There is a continuous challenge for improving the quantity and quality of milk yield through dairy animals. However, dairy animals from their nature are susceptible towards subclinical mastitis (SM) as their physiology depends majorly upon its management and surrounding conditions. Symptoms of SM is invisible, however, slowly it may deplete the physiology of dairy animals Especially in the case of large dairy farms, the cases of SM are higher than that of small herd or dairy farm. Maintenance of proper management conditions that lowers the chances of dairy animals from getting exposed towards SM is highly recommended. However, behavior of microbes causing SM gets changed with the varying climatic scenarios. Improved management practices such as breeding management, balanced nutrition, milking practices, hygienic milking, dry cow management, proper handling, plant-derived products; etc may help in preventing and controlling SM cases.SM causes high economic losses the whole dairy farming community and industry and it hampers the health status and well-being of dairy animals. Hence, proper knowledge of factors related to SM etiology and its management becomes necessary for both animals and dairy farmers. Therefore this review has been formulated to provide a better understanding of SM and its management in dairy animals.
