Sığırlarda İçme Suyu Kalitesi ve Suluk Yönetimi

Öz

Sığırlar sağlıklı bir yaşam sürdürebilmek ve kendilerinden beklenen performanslarını ortaya koyabilmek için ihtiyaç duydukları miktar ve kalitede su tüketebilmelidir. Sığırın tüketeceği su miktarı üzerine, kuru madde tüketimi, laktasyon dönemi, süt verimi, yemlerin çeşidi ve hava sıcaklığının yanı sıra içme suyunun kalitesi de etkilidir. Ayrıca sığırların istedikleri anda kaliteli ve yeterli miktarda içme suyuna ulaşabilmeleri hayvan refahı açısından da gereklidir. İçme suyu kalitesini, tad, koku, fiziko-kimyasal yapı, toksik maddelerin varlığı, fazla miktarda mineral ve bileşikler ile mikroorganizmalar etkilemektedir. Yetiştiricilerin içme suyu kalitesinin yanı sıra dikkat etmeleri gereken diğer hususlar ise, sığırların ihtiyaç duydukları zaman istedikleri kadar bol suya ulaşabilmeleri, suyun uygun sıcaklıklarda olması, yeteri kadar suluğun ahırda uygun yerlere yerleştirilmesi, sulukların temizliklerinin düzenli olarak yapılması ve su tesisatının ihtiyacın en fazla olduğu zamanda yeteri kadar su iletebilecek kapasitede yapılmasıdır. Bu derlemede sığırların içme suyu kalite ölçütleri ve suluk yönetimi üzerinde durulmuştur.
