- A cow's drinking rate can reach up to 20 liters per minute

It is midsummer in Europe, with temperatures that are putting both humans and animals to the test.

Everyone knows that animals need fresh water.

But did you know that cows can drink at a rate of up to 20 liters per minute?

 

During these hot days, having a high enough flow rate in "Fast Fill" cattle drinkers, or a large, clean drinking trough with plenty of surrounding space, is an absolute must.

You can see how cows drink in the attached video.

It is an unusual perspective, but highly enlightening!
