“…DMI and milk production were highly related to DWI and TWI of lactating cows in this study. Milk production is closely correlated to DMI or water intake (Murphy, 1992;Kramer et al, 2008). With 33-35 kg/day of milk production, DWI and TWI per kg of milk produced were 2.0-2.7 and 2.6-3.0 kg, respectively, but those with lower milk production, less than 26 kg/day, were 2.6-3.0 and 3.3-4.2 kg, respectively (NRC, 2001).…”

Data of 46 water balance measurements were collected from dry and lactating Holstein cows in the controlled climatic chamber, which maintained at 20°C and 60% relative humidity, to evaluate between drinking water intake (DWI), feed water intake (FWI), total water intake (TWI) and some variables in cows. Orchardgrass silage, alfalfa silage and corn silage were offered in dry cows, and alfalfa or orchardgrass silage and concentrates were given as a TMR in ratio of 60:40 in lactating cows. DMI and milk production were highly related to DWI and TWI of lactating cows. DWI in dry and lactating cows increased and FWI decreased as dietary DM increased, but there was a very weak correlation between dietary DM and TWI. In both dry and lactating cows, positive correlations were obtained between dietary CP or K and TWI, especially highly correlations between dietary K and TWI. There were strong positive correlations between N intake, K intake or urine volume and TWI rather than DWI in dry and lactating cows. These results suggest that dry and lactating cows accelerate DWI to excrete large amounts of K or N into urine in excess of their needs, but TWI is more suitable to evaluate the effects of dietary CP or K on water intake and urine volume in dairy cows.

“…Correlations between water, feed intake, relative body weight loss and the weaning weight of piglets Correlations of water intake between different stages declined with greater distance between the stages of lactation (Kramer et al, 2008a). The low correlations of feed intake between the beginning and the middle and between the beginning and the end of lactation indicated that the feed intake at the beginning was a different trait from the feed intake at the middle and the end of lactation.…”
