Livestock Water Requirement Calculator
Calculate a water quantity per head and herd using body weight and a daily water factor you supply.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter body weight and your own daily water factor in L/(kg·day).
- Enter a whole-number animal count. No physiological factor is supplied.
- Calculate and copy or download the water quantity report.
Formula and units
L/head/day = body weight (kg) × user water factor [L/(kg·day)]. Herd L/day = per-head amount × heads.
Scope
The factor is entirely your input. The tool provides no physiological defaults, health advice or judgment that the water amount is sufficient. Actual needs require separate assessment of conditions.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Does the result establish sufficient drinking water?
No. It only multiplies your inputs. It does not assess animal health or water adequacy.
