Influence of Drinking Water System on Performance of Calves and theirs Cross-Sucking
Original language description
Holstein calves (N=60) were reared in individual hutches from the second day of life to weaning at the age of 8 weeks. All calves were divided according to the method of water delivery into 3 groups - nipple sucking from bucket (N), drinking from bucket (B), and without delivery water (WW). No significant difference was found among groups in the average daily gains. Daily gains were the highest in group N. The N group of calves drank more water to weaning than the B group, and group N had the highest intake of starter mixture. The highest alfalfa hay consumption during the milk-drinking period was found in group WW. No calves died or were culled for poor health. We can justify that water restriction did not result in any significant effect on growth, health condition, and social behavior in experimental calves. Water restriction did not affect feed intake. However, we cannot recommend that water be delivered just as part of the milk replacer on the basis of this experiment alone.
