Water is one of the most critical elements to an animal and it's overall health. Animals that drink clean, contaminant-free water are generally less prone to illness and disease, gain more weight and produce more milk.
Factors that affect water consumption include; weather conditions, feed type, activity level, gender and access. As an animal’s weight increases, so does their water requirement. Special physical conditions, like pregnancy, rapid growth and lactation, can also make a big difference in water requirements. Water intake for dry beef cows is roughly 1 to 1½ gallons per 100 lb of body weight and double for cows nursing calves.
In the table below, you'll find a general guide for water consumption of other animals.

Automatic waterers connect to the underground water line and are mounted on a concrete slab. Utilizing a simple ballcock valve assembly, as the livestock drink, the declining water level opens the valve and the reservoir fills.
