Additional Director Livestock and Dairy Development Sialkot Dr. Muhammad Waseem has said that just as fresh and clean drinking water is very beneficial for human health, it also has positive effects on animals, cattle and birds, especially milk and meat-producing animals. He expressed these views during a meeting with livestock breeder Khazrat.
The AD Livestock Department said that if 45 liters of fresh drinking water is provided to milking cows and buffaloes daily and 45 liters to dry cows and buffaloes, then their daily milk and meat production can increase by 20 percent, while it is also necessary to provide half a liter of drinking water to chickens during 24 hours and at least 7 liters of drinking water to sheep and goats daily.

He directed the livestock keepers to provide fresh water in sufficient quantity to the livestock and animals inside the enclosures 4 times a day so that a significant increase in milk and meat production can be ensured. He said that by providing balanced food and fresh water to other dairy cattle and animals including cows and buffaloes, the daily milk production can be increased. At the same time, livestock keepers should not show any laxity in vaccinating the animals so that the milk and meat capacity of the livestock and animals is not affected and it is also possible to provide healthy milk and meat to the public according to the principles of hygiene. He said that the better the livestock is taken care of, the better they grow and produce more. He said that just as fresh water is a great elixir for the common man, the importance and usefulness of water in livestock and animals cannot be denied.
