A systematic review of 121 studies (2000-2025) on automated and AI-driven systems for monitoring drinking behaviour and water intake in cattle – from RFID and accelerometers to computer vision, deep learning and digital twins – and the gaps that remain.
A 2025 review of water requirements, utilization and water balance across dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, poultry, horses and swine — covering the three sources of water gain, the pathways of loss, and the factors that drive daily water intake.
132-farm survey in Egypt correlating eight water quality parameters (pH, TDS, hardness, chloride, nitrate, sulphate, TCC, TCFC) with cattle performance indicators (FCR for beef, FE for dairy). Nitrate emerged as the most influential predictor.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different trough types on the water consumption and drinking behaviour of pasture-based beef heifers. Two trials were implemented with 32 beef heifers to test two different types of water…
