Recommended Daily Allowances. Adults over the age of 19, adolescents between 14 and 18 years old and pregnant women should consume 4,700 milligrams of potassium each day, says the Food and Nutrition Board. Nursing women over the age of 14 need more: 5,100 milligrams daily.
Even dogs who have a hard time digesting dairy products derived from cowâs milk can do extremely well on milk from a goat. With fat molecules that are 1/5th the size of those found in bovine milk, digestion happens in as little as 20 minutes.
Also, since dairy cows tend to produce twice as much milk as beef or range cows do, dairy cows tend to drink more water on average than a typical beef cow would. So a 1000 lb lactating beef cow may drink around 15 to 20 gallons per day, whereas a 1000 lb lactating dairy cow may drink around 30 to 40 gallons a day. If a certain feed is higher in salt content than another, a bovine will drink more water to counteract the amount of salt that is found in the feed.
