¹ TWI = total water intake; MWI = milk water intake; FWI = fresh water intake; MWP = metabolic water production (0.669*Carbohydrate_intake + 0.41*Protein_intake + 0.532 *Lipid_intake); FWI/ADG = FWI relative to average daily gain (ADG), ADG/FWI = ADG relative to FWI, FWI/BWg = FWI relative to body weight gain (BWg), FWI/BW = FWI relative to BW, FWI/ BW^0.75= FWI relative to metabolic body weight (BW^0.75), MWI/ADG = MWI relative to ADG, ADG/MWI = ADG relative to MWI, MWI/BW MWI relative to BW, MWI/BW^0.75 = MWI relative to BW^0.75, TWI/BWg = TWI relative to BWg, TWI/BW TWI relative to BW, TWI/ADG = TWI relative to ADG, TWI/BW^0.75 = TWI relative to BW^0.75.

² Standard error of the mean.

³ P-value, <0.1 = trend; <0.05 = significant.
