Factors that Affect Intakeb. Expected ConsumptionCurrent Lecture3 Key Factors That Affect Water Intake - Water availability/quality - Dry matter intakeo As DM (dry matter) increases so must water intake…- Water losseso As environmental temperature increases so does water intakeo Checking for dehydration by lifting the skin and seeing if it “tents” What this means is your vet will lift the skin on the dog’s neck and check to see if it “tents”, which would indicate dehydration and the need to put your pet on a drip Skin that “tents” is skin that stays stuck together for a few seconds before dropping back down  Normal skin pops back to its original place almost immediately If your skin tents it is an indication of Extreme dehydration- Physiological stateo Such as pregnancy and lactation increases water needs/”losses”, thus increasing water intake… Expected water consumption of various types of adult livestock in a temperate climateThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Beef Cattle - 26-66 liters/day- Dairy Cattle - 38-110 liters/day- Horses – 30-45 liters/day- Pigs – 4-15 liters/day- Chickens – 0.2-0.4 liters/day- Turkeys – 0.4-0.6 liters/dayAverage daily water needs for livestock are difficult to define- Numerous dietary and environmental factors affect water requirements- Thus there’s little reason to and nearly impossible to quantify (or set) species-specific water requirementsCommon sense requirement:Provide animals with lots of clean palatable
