ADVICE FROM LA BUVETTE® ON Water is vital to your animals, both for their health and for their performance... And it has to be given to them in sufficient quantities of the appropriate quality, at the right place and at the right moment. The daily water intake varies according to the type of animal, its food, production, weight, the ambient temperature and the relative humidity of the air. g LA BUVETTE GENERAL CATALOGUE LA BUVETTE 2019

5 NUMBER OF DRINKERS AND INSTALLATION HEIGHTS •  Dairy cows need 3 to 5 litres of water per kilo of dry matter intake and for each litre of milk produced, they drink 2 to 3 litres of water (this rule is not cumulative). •  A dairy cow can drink up to 135 litres of water per day in 6 or 7 visits to the drinker, very often after the distribution of the feed ration or after milking (which explains the importance of locating the drinking points near the feeding table and the exit of the milking parlour, see following pages). •  Every day, 10 to 12 minutes are spent drinking. One bovine cattle...

Dairy cows: • 1 water access point for 10 lactating cows. • Large troughs: 1 water access point = 50 to 60 cm • Flow rate: 15 litres/min per water access point • Height to the...
