LIVESTOCK AND RANGE

Water Consumption by Livestock

Water consumption increases with size, lactation, increasing dry matter intake and increasing temperature. Some general guides to water intake are as follows:

Water Consumption
(gallons per day)

Beef cattle
10-15 per head
Dairy cattle
15-25 per head
Horses
10-12 per head
Swine
3-5 per head
Sheep & Goats
1-4 per head
Chickens
8-10 per 100 birds
Turkeys
10-15 per 100 birds

Extremely hot heat-stress weather could increase the high values another 20 to 30 percent.
