Abstract

A study conducted to estimate the combined effects of infrequent water consumption, extensive walking, and night enclosing on a growing and breeding cattle. Includes data on weight loss of lactating and dry cows, calf weight with age and dam treatment, weaner weights with age and treatment, dry matter intake, faecal output, and percentage of day spent on grazing and ruminating.
