Simmental Cow

Ages: 3 - 8. Grass is tough to digest, which is why cows chew around 50 times per minute, reaching a total of 30,000 times a day. In contrast, humans usually chew a bite of food no more than 30 times. As a result, cows produce over 150 liters of saliva daily. This makes them extremely thirsty, and they drink a large amount of water - up to 180 liters per day, equivalent to a fully - filled large bathtub. When very thirsty, they can gulp down 25 liters per minute.

If you're raising Simmental cows, make sure to provide them with plenty of fresh grass and clean water. Since they drink a lot, always keep water troughs full. For feeding, offer high - quality hay and supplements as needed. When it comes to housing, ensure a dry and well - ventilated shelter. Check their health regularly, especially their teeth as they chew so much. If you notice any changes in their eating or drinking habits, consult a veterinarian right away.
