Maintaining adequate water intake is essential for milk production, as milk consists of 87% water. A modern dairy cow requires around 3 litres of water to produce 1 litre of milk, with high-producing cows consuming over 150 litres of water per day.

The quality of water also plays a significant role in cow health and productivity, as poor water quality can decrease productivity by up to 20%. Providing fresh, clean water is crucial for optimal dry matter intake and increased productivity.

To help with this, East Rock Aqua Dumps are industry-leading waterers that can be easily cleaned by tipping and dumping their contents. These waterers come in standard and shallow options and are a critical component of barn design.
