| description | Good management of livestock watering is critical to
maintaining the quality of the environment and human
health. The use of troughs or other dedicated water points
that are separate from human water sources can prevent
contamination by waterborne diseases. It also conserves
riparian vegetation and leaves stream and river
sediments undisturbed. Provision of water to dairy cattle
in their stalls greatly reduces the stress on them, allowing
significant increases in milk production. |
