Hajah Nurul Ain Bte Haji Sabli  Importance of water 7  Allows optimal animal performance and health Dry matter intake is related to water intake Less water = less feed consume thus leads to reduced :  Weight gains  Milk production  Animal performance Water accounts for 50 to 80 % of animals' weight and involved in every physiological Hajah Nurul Ain Bte Haji Sabli process  Water requirement and watering 8 system in goats Vary by size and class of animal, 0.5-4 gal per head per day. Lactating females require more water than dry animals. Environmental stress increases water requirements. Hajah Nurul Ain Bte Haji Sabli Water requirement and watering system in goats and sheep 9 (Water quality) It should be clean and fresh Animals perform better with better quality water. Sheep and goats require better quality water than cattle Potable water or clean drinking water is preferred Hajah Nurul Ain Bte Haji Sabli Water requirement and watering system in goats and sheep 10 (Water location) The more accessible the better It’s better to move water to animals rather than move animals to water. Movement to and from water is unproductive time. Ideally should be within 900 feet so animals will drink individually and more frequently. Hajah Nurul Ain Bte Haji Sabli  Water requirement and watering 11 system in goats and sheep A goat can drink 5 to 6 litres of water a day. If ruminants do not drink enough, they cannot digest grass. Animals can drink: In their shelter: from a container such as a big plastic can cut into half or hollowed- out tree trunk, from a barrel cut in half, from a concrete trough. Their drinking places must be always very clean. At streams or rivers: Make sure that the water is clean and clear;. there must be no mud in it. Nipple waterers/drinkers.

It is important: · To give the flock every day enough water; · To give water that is as clean as possible; · To give this water in a clean place; · Not to let the sheep and goats go into the water. They can catch diseases from it. Hajah Nurul Ain Bte Haji Sabli 3. Provides food supply of clean drinking 14 water on a daily basis.

Slight pressure on nipple lets water flow; it shuts off when released. Stainless steel nipple valve delivers clean water on demand. Goat drinks directly from tip. Slight pressure on nipple lets water flow; it shuts off when released. Even kids smell the water and learn to use the valve quickly.
