“…The study also confirmed previous findings (Aganga et al, 1989;Ferreira et al, 2002) of higher water intakes in sheep compared with goats and also showed that measurement of drinking time and frequency are only of moderate usefulness in measuring water intake. The very close relation between measured and estimated TWI (t 5 0.983) confirms that the isotope dilution technique gives reliable results for water intake in sheep and goats.…”

“…Higher DMI in sheep compared with goats have also been found by Aregheore (1996) and Van et al (2007) who explained this observation by higher nutrient requirements and genetic potential for growth in sheep. Ferreira et al (2002) showed that goats need less water to synthesize 1 kg of weight gain than sheep.…”
