Water constitutes 80% of a cow's blood, helps in regulating body temperature, and is crucial maintaining organ functions such as digestion, waste removal and nutrient absorption. For nursing and dairy cows, milk is comprised of nearly 90% water and when it is suckled by the calf or removed via vacuum pump to be used as dairy products, that is water lost to the cow that she can't get back unless she drinks water. Water is also lost through sweat, breathing, urination and defecation.
Water is one of--actually the--most important nutrient that Cows and Cattle need to ensure their growth, lactation and fetal development. Not only is it important production-wise, but it's an animal welfare and husbandry issue that needs to be met of you are to have healthy, happy cows.
