AB  - Water for watering of animals should be of the same quality as drinking water
for human consumption. Farm animals' needs for water depend on many factors e.g. air
temperature and humidity, species characteristics, age and production level, physical
activity and meal composition. Breeders sometimes are not aware of needs of their animals
for water, especially in young categories. This paper presents the results of research carried
out in Serbia and Slovenia, with the aim to examine management practices at small-scale
farms of ruminants in rural areas. Data regarding watering practices were collected from
questionnaires answered by owners of cattle farms (60 from Serbia and 293 from Slovenia)
and small ruminant farms (225 in Slovenia). According to the results, continuous access to
drinking water have calves from the first day of life at 27% of the surveyed farms in Serbia
and 13% in Slovenia. At the farms of small ruminants, 57% use automatic drinkers and
water from public water supply and 23% of animals are on the pasture and drink water
from natural sources. In both countries, some owners apply the procedures in watering
which comply with the principles of animal welfare. It is useful to provide more additional
information to breeders about importance of water for health and productivity of their
animals.
