Water is essential for life and dairy production. Cows need about 32 gallons daily beyond what comes from wet feeds, with higher needs in heat. Source location, trough accessibility, and clean, algae free troughs impact intake and milk yield. Regular cleaning and proper piping support sustained production. Milk is 87 percent water.
