Impact of Observed and Controlled Water Intake on Reticulorumen Temperature in Lactating Dairy Cattle

Dairy precision technologies helps producers monitor individual animals. Reticulorumen temperature boluses are a way to monitor core body temperature; however, factors such as water intake affects reticulorumen temperature. This research determined the effect of natural water intake and a controlled water drench on reticulorumen temperature (RT) in dairy cattle. In observational study part 1, tie- stall cows (n = 4) with RT transponders were observed for natural water intake (recorded by in line water meters) for 48 h. In experiment part 2, a randomized Latin square design with cows (n = 12) restricted on feed for 4 h, were drenched daily with a water quantity of 6.7 L, 11.4 L or 22.7 L, and at controlled water temperature of 1.7 °C, 7.2 °C, 15.5 °C, or 29.4 °C. Descriptively, observational study 1 had (Mean ± SD 0.27 ± 0.31 L ingested per drinking event (n = 84) and RT decline from baseline was 2.29 ± 1.82 °C. For the experiment, a 48-h specific rolling baseline temperature range (BTR) was calculated for each cow prior to the experiment to determine time required for RT to reach BTR, and time to return to BTR. In part 2 of the experiment, as water quantity increased, RT had a greater maximum degree drop from baseline. Water temperature and water quantity interaction influenced time required for BTR to reestablish. The coldest water temperature at the highest drench quantity affected time for BTR to reestablish the longest (103 min). Results from this study suggest that an algorithm could be designed to predict water intake events for producers using reticulorumen temperature.

Few Data

It is commonly held that goats prefer their water ‘warm’ and that consumption may be encouraged by offering warmed water. Conversely, it is argued that water intake may go down if water is ‘too cold.’ There are, however, few data available and no definition of what constitutes ‘warm’ or ‘cold’ in the eyes of a goat. This trial was undertaken to provide some data in an attempt to confirm or refuse these conventional wisdoms.

Excessive Water

ABSTRACT:- It is common lifelong health disease. India had more diabetics than any other country in the world, according to the International Diabetes Foundation, although the country has now been surpassed in the top spot by China. Diabetes currently affects more than 62 million Indians, which is more than 7.1% of the adult population. The average age on onset is 42.5 years. Nearly 1 million Indians die due to diabetes every year1. According to WHO Diabetes is a Life style disorder. The main cause of diabetes is there is restless lifestyle, stress, unnatural dietary factor. It has turned out biggest silent killer today’s in world. In Ayurveda diabetes can be correlated with Madhumeh which is a Vata predominant disease. Causes of Madhumeh are Diwaswap, Atyaambupan(excessive water intake), Guru, Madhur, Shita, Snighatdh, Ahara Sevan2 etc. Now a day most of people think drinking large amounts of water is helpful for proper skin health, Digestion, and Health, etc? Claims have been made that excessive drinking water gives you a radiant skin, and healthy while others people say it has no effect and it causes many disease and side effect .so here is effort to highlight the Atyambupan (Excessive water intake) as Nidan of Diabetes given in Ayurvedic text as well as occurring at present and make aware the society to prevent the disease through Nidanparivarjan.

Short Days

Under natural photoperiodic conditions and natural water temperatures, the spermatogenesis and testis cycle of Triturus cristatus cristatus exhibits a clear annual periodicity with one reproductive period extending from the end of April to the middle of June. This cycle can be divided into three different phases: 1 ) progression with expulsion of ripe sperma and subsequent spermatocytogenesis ; 2) regeneration with spermiohistogenesis and maximum testis' weight; 3) gonadal resting phase. An advance of gonadal activity in winter with premature expulsion of mature sperm a was only possible in LD 16 : 8 at 20 ± 1°C water temperature; complete spermatogenesis can occur after the middle of February. In the winter and summer, water temperature of 11 ± 1°C combined with long days, LD 12 : 12 , or with short days prevent any gonadal activity. Therefore, water temperature of 20 ± 1°C, combined with long days, are a prerequisite for adequate hypothalamus-hypophysis-gonad-activity. In a year's study with LD 16 : 8 at 20 ± 1°C water temperature, a more or less pronounced spermiahistogenetic activity without expulsion of sperma was observed.

Two experimental diets with or without diethylstilbestrol (DES) were fed to four fistulated dairy cows in a 4 × 4 Latin square design. A continuous feeding system was used to give each cow 13–15 g of diet every two minutes. The continuous feeding appeared to remove the usual variation in the numbers of protozoa in the rumen content. This facilitated the sampling for studies of the effect of the diet on the concentrations and varieties of protozoa. Numbers of protozoa among days were similar with no significant differences. Total protozoa numbers were significantly higher (P < 0.01) for cows fed natural diets than for cows fed semi-purified diets. In addition, the feeding of DES resulted in a significant increase in total protozoa numbers. The inclusion of DES in the experimental diets aided the retention and establishment of different ciliate protozoa.

Abstract Three trials were conducted to evaluate the influence of time of day on live weight (LW) measurements of feedlot steers. Trial 1 was initiated November 30, 1988 and involved 15 crossbred steers that were housed and fed individually. Trial 2 was initiated February 28, 1989 and involved 75 crossbred steers that were housed and fed in groups of 5. Trial 3 was initiated June 13, 1989 and was otherwise similar to Trial 2. Weighing times were 0400, 0800 and 1200 with periods between weighing of 7 d. Treatments were assigned to individual steers or pen groups in a replicated 3 × 3 latin square arrangement. In Trial 1, there was a linear decrease (P < .01) in LW averaging 1 kg/h for measurements taken between 0400 and 1200. In Trial 2, both linear (P < .01) and quadratic (P < .05) responses in LW to weighing time were detected. Live weight decreased .75 kg/h between 0400 and 0800, similar to what was observed in Trial 1, but between 0800 and 1200 LW remained unchanged. In Trial 3, only a linear (P < .01) response of LW to time was detected. However, as with Trial 2, the greater rate of decrease in LW appeared to occur between 0400 and 0800 (averaging 1 kg/h). Differences between trials in pattern of water consumption were related to differences in ambient temperature. Time of day had a dramatic effect on LW of feedlot steers. Measurements of LW taken within the later morning hours are more likely to be affected by water intake than measurements taken during the earlier morning time period (0400 to 0800).

The voluntary feed intakes of penned rams were measured on three roughage diets containing 15, 9, and 6.5 per cent crude protein. The rams were chosen from three flocks which varied genetically in wool production at pasture. A latin square design was used to examine differences in voluntary feed intake between the diets and the flocks. Feed intake and rate of consumption increased with increasing crude protein percentage of the diet. Daily time spent eating increased from the high to the low quality diet. Within diets, time spent eating was positively associated with intake differences between rams. Feed intake and water consumption were positively associated between and within diets. There were no differences between the diets in water intake per unit feed eaten. Flocks did not differ in voluntary feed intake or in any character associated with intake.

Schedule-induced polydipsia was instated in 8 male albino rats using FR 100 and FT schedules of reinforcement. Both schedules were effective in producing schedule-induced polydipsia when water was concurrently available. The rats received intraperitoneal injections of 3, 6, and 9 mg/kg atropine sulfate and a control injection of physiological saline according to a 4 × 4 Latin square design which was replicated for two groups of 4 rats each. Atropine sulfate injections attenuated schedule-induced polydipsia instated on the two schedules. Water intake levels were suppressed to equivalent levels regardless of schedules or preinjection intake level obtained before drugs were administered as compared to saline controls ( p < .001). This finding was interpreted as evidence that the polydipsia is mediated at least in part by cholinergic pathways.
