Providing and Improving Drinking Water for Livestock
AEN-176: Providing and Improving Drinking Water for Livestock
Authored by: Steve Higgins
Abstract
Water is a fundamental requirement for livestock. Depending on the species, livestock will consume two to six times more water than forages or feed. Nevertheless, drinking water quality for livestock is commonly overlooked, which can result in huge implications to animal health, well-being, and optimal productivity. To that end, providing adequate water sources for livestock is crucial.
