Abstract
Abstract Singh, R., Nangia, O.P. and Garg, S.K. 1994. Effect of water deprivation and rehydration on buffaloes. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 6: 59–63. Rectal temperature, pulse rate and respiration rate decreased significantly at 72 h on water deprivation. On rehydration, rectal temperature and pulse rate were restored to normal within 8 h and respiration rate within 72 h. The rumen contractions were significantly lower at 36 h and beyond in water deprived animals and were restored to normal within 24 h of reintroduction of water. The feed intake declined steadily with the increasing hours of water deprivation and was restored to normal at 48 h of rehydration. Water intake was highly significant during the first 48 h of reintroduction of water. The fluid volume in all body water compartments decreased significantly on water deprivation. These values were restored to nearly normal after 5 h of rehydration.
