“…There is a trend for the free water intake difference between heated and ambient drinking water to increase as the mean barn air temperature lowers (R 2 = 0.76, P = 0.13, data not shown). These results contrast with data from Andersson (1985) who found that cows drank less heated water (24°C) as compared to intakes at drinking water temperatures of 3, 10, and 17°C. The average barn air temperature for the Andersson (1985) experiment was 15.3°C with a range of 10.2-23.7°C.…”

“…In heat-stressed environments, water is the principal medium for dissipating body heat and the chilling of drinking water may alleviate hyperthermia Baker et al 1988;Wilks et al 1990;Beede 1991). Although, for cows that are exposed to cold environments (3 to 10°C) it may be advantageous to warm the drinking water (Andersson 1985).…”

. W. 2002. Effects of heated drinking water on the production responses of lactating Holstein and Jersey cows. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 82: 267-273. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of heating the drinking water of lactating dairy cows in different ambient environments on the feed and water intake and milk yield and composition and hydration status of Jersey and Holstein cows. Eighteen cows were randomly assigned to either an ambient (7-15°C), or a continuously heated (30-33°C), drinking water treatment in a switchback design. The experiment was replicated four times [spring (24.4°C), summer (21.1°C), autumn (11.8°C), and winter (12.6°C)] in a tie-stall facility.Free water intake was 3.40-5.95% greater (P < 0.05) each time the heated versus ambient drinking water was supplied across all trials. Both breeds responded similarly. Feed intake was increased 4.47% (P < 0.001) when cattle were offered the heated water during the summer experiment. Milk yield was greater (P < 0.01) for the spring and summer (P < 0.05) experiments when cattle were consuming the ambient water treatment. Water treatment had no effect on milk components or hydration status. Cows consumed 40% of their daily water intake within 2 h of each milking and feeding time.The results of this experiment demonstrate that cows drank more warm water when offered, but the increase in free water intake did not influence milk yield. 1°C); à l'automne (11,8°C) et en hiver (12,6°C)}, dans une étable à stabulation entravée. Les animaux absorbent toujours 3,40 à 5,95 % plus (P < 0,05) d'eau chaude que d'eau à température ambiante. Les deux races réagissent de la même façon. La prise alimentaire augmente de 4,47 % (P < 0,001) quand les animaux ont accès à de l'eau chaude en été. Les bovins buvant de l'eau à température ambiante ont un meilleur rendement laitier (P < 0,01) au printemps et en été (P < 0,05). Chauffer l'eau n'a aucun effet sur la composition du lait ni le degré d'hydratation des animaux. Les vaches consomment 40 % du volume d'eau quotidien dans les deux heures qui précèdent la traite et le repas. Les résultats de l'expérience indiquent que les animaux boivent plus d'eau tiède quand on leur en présente, mais que la quantité supérieure d'eau consommée n'influe pas sur le rendement laitier.

Mathematical models that predict water intake by drinking, also known as free water intake (FWI), are useful in understanding water supply needed by animals on dairy farms. The majority of extant mathematical models for predicting FWI of dairy cows have been developed with data sets representing similar experimental conditions, not evaluated with modern cows, and often require dry matter intake (DMI) data, which may not be routinely available. The objectives of the study were to (1) develop a set of new empirical models for predicting FWI of lactating and dry cows with and without DMI using literature data, and (2) evaluate the new and the extant models using an independent set of FWI measurements made on modern cows. Random effect meta-regression analyses were conducted using 72 and 188 FWI treatment means with and without dietary electrolyte and daily mean ambient temperature (TMP) records, respectively, for lactating cows, and 19 FWI treatment means for dry cows. Milk yield, DMI, body weight, days in milk, dietary macro-nutrient contents, an aggregate milliequivalent concentration of dietary sodium and potassium (NaK), and TMP were used as potential covariates to the models. A model having positive relationships of DMI, dietary dry matter (DM%), and CP (CP%) contents, NaK, and TMP explained 76% of variability in FWI treatment means of lactating cows. When challenged on an independent data set (n = 261), the model more accurately predicted FWI [root mean square prediction error as a percentage of average observed value (RMSPE%) = 14.4%] compared with a model developed without NaK and TMP (RMSPE% = 17.3%), and all extant models (RMSPE% ≥ 15.7%). A model without DMI included positive relationships of milk yield, DM%, NaK, TMP, and days in milk, and explained 63% of variability in the FWI treatment means and performed well (RMSPE% = 17.9%), when challenged on the independent data. New models for dry cows included positive relationships of DM% and TMP along with DMI or body weight. The new models with and without DMI explained 75 and 54% of the variability in FWI treatment means of dry cows and had RMSPE% of 12.8 and 15.2%, respectively, when evaluated with the literature data. The study offers a set of empirical models that can assist in determining drinking water needs of dairy farms.

“…Differences in water temperature may affect intake by cattle (Andersson, 1985;Lardy and Stoltenow, 1999;Osborne et al, 2002). However, minor differences in water temperature are not likely to influence intake (Murphy, 1992).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different trough types on the water consumption and drinking behaviour of pasture-based beef heifers. Two trials were implemented with 32 beef heifers to test two different types of water troughs, namely a rectangular concrete trough (RC) and a round polyvinyl chloride water tank (PVC). In Trial 1, both troughs were simultaneously available to groups of four animals within eight paddocks. In Trial 2, the animals were distributed in pairs throughout 16 paddocks and, in a crossover design, were exposed to one type of trough at a time. In both trials, estimated water intake was per four animals. Number of drinking bouts, time spent drinking and amount of water intake from the RC and PVC trough were recorded in both trials. Data were statistically analysed by analysis of variance. In Trial 1, group and trough effect were in the model. In Trial 2, stage, pair and trough were tested. In Trial 1, where both types of troughs were available, animals had a higher number of drinking bouts (3.32 v. 0.57 6 0.09; P , 0.01), longer drinking periods (144.21 v. 22.81 6 7.3 s; P , 0.01) and greater intake (160.21 v. 23.76 6 13.06 l; P , 0.01) from the PVC water tank, compared to the RC trough. In Trial 2, all groups drank more often (5.10 v. 3.28 6 0.32; P , 0.001), for longer periods (167.23 v. 115.23 6 15.61 s; P , 0.02) and with higher intake (141.36 v. 118.47 6 5.01 l; P , 0.02) from the PVC than from the RC trough. Thus, heifers not only prefer, but also drink more from a PVC water tank in comparison to a RC trough.
