Environmental physiology with special reference to domestic animals V: Influence of temperature, 50⁰ to 105⁰ F., on water consumption in dairy cattle

Abstract

The aim of the experiment here reported is to throw light on the influence of ambient temperature under controlled laboratory conditions on water consumption. This bulletin reports data on the increase of water consumption in dairy cows with increasing environmental temperature, as observed during the first experimental period, March to August, 1948.
