In Canada for at least four months of the year, livestock, particularly ruminants, are often without protection from below-freezing temperatures. Under these conditions, the animals are frequently obliged to satisfy their total daily free water requirements in one or two drinking sessions with water at temperatures near freezing. The daily water requirements of all animals are known to be proportional to dry matter or energy intake. As environmental temperatures decline below the comfort zone, feed consumption and consequently water requirements increase.
