To answer your question yes.Cows are hardy animals. Reducing water intake will have many effects on the animal. As a general rule rule a cow will drink 10% of it's body weight/day (thus a 500kg animal will drink 50 liters of water per day) it is best to allow the animals to drink as much as they want with no restriction. The most important negative impact on dairy production will be decreased liters in the vat from reduced water intake. My cows have just survived close to 48 hours with 80% of the herd having little to no water. Production has dropped 10%, i DO NOT recommend this, the reason this occurred was due to incompetence from a inexperienced staff member. I picked up on this due to the "sinking" of the eyes of the cows, this is a clear indication of a dehydrated animal. The long term effects of this will become clear within the next few days (I came online to find the exact answer as you, don't worry there is generally someone who has stuffed up more than you in every situation!) I hope this is some help.
