Twelve lactating healthy Marecha she-camels in the early lactation stage during the summer at Camel Breeding and Research Station Rakh-Mahni (Pakistan) were included. All animals were fed with Medicago sativa and Cicer arientinum ad libitum and divided into three groups in relation to the access to water, after a period of seven days of adaptation to experimental conditions. Group 1 (G1) was considered as control having access to water once every day; Group 2 (G2) had access once every 4 days, while Group 3 (G3) had access once every 6 days. The duration of the study was 60 days with an adaptation period to experimental conditions of 7 days before the onset of the study. Dry matter intake (DMI) was calculated on a dry matter basis. On average the ambient temperature and relative humidity during the trial were 39–41 °C and 55–63%, respectively. The DMI, water intake, milk production, and body weight changes were affected (p < 0.001) during various watering regimes. The mean values of water intake were found to be 82.94 ± 1.34 L higher in G3 than G1 and G2.

夏季不同的灌溉方式对马雷查骆驼（Camelus dromedarius）的摄水量，采食量和产奶量的影响

包括夏季骆驼育种和研究站Rakh-Mahni（巴基斯坦）在哺乳初期的十二头哺乳期健康的Marecha she-骆驼。所有动物均饲以紫花苜蓿和随意的白蜡木在经过7天的实验条件适应后，分为三类。第1组（G1）被视为每天喝水一次的对照组；第2组（G2）每4天访问一次，而第3组（G3）每6天访问一次。研究持续时间为60天，适应性条件为研究开始前7天的实验条件。干物质摄入量（DMI）是基于干物质计算的。试验期间平均环境温度和相对湿度分别为39–41°C和55–63％。DMI，摄水量，产奶量和体重变化均受到影响（p<0.001）。发现G3中的取水平均值比G1和G2高82.94±1.34L。
