Twenty-three Large White x Landrace piglets weaned on the first day after birth and kept individually in cages in a thermoneutral environment were offered a liquid diet similar in its macronutrient content to sow's milk at 2 h intervals nine times a day. They were divided into two groups: clinically healthy piglets and diarrhoeic animals. After each feeding the diarrhoeic piglets were offered in addition camomile tea. Water consumption at individual feedings was measured 514 times in diarrhoeic piglets and 441 times in the controls from 3 to 10 days after birth. The intake of the offered diet changed with age as was repeatedly described in our previous studies. The diarrhoeic piglets supplemented their water consumption by intake of camomile tea only in 83 (16.1%) cases. Therefore their mean water consumption was lower than that of the controls: by 15.8% per animal and by 9.2% and by 9.4% per live body mass unit and per metabolic mass unit, respectively. The difference in actual water ingestion was significant on days 5, 6, 9 and 10. Relative water consumption per live body mass of diarrhoeic piglets was significantly lower on day 5 and 6, but higher on day 4 and 8; that per metabolic mass unit was lower on day 5, 6, and 10, but higher on day 4 and 8. Diarrhoeic piglets lose more water than clinically healthy animals during the postnatal period. In our experiments they could make up for their water deficiency by increasing the intake of the diet and by additional consumption of camomile tea only relatively (expressed per live body mass and per metabolic mass) and for a limited length of time (only on 2 out of 8 days). Diarrhoeic piglets therefore increase their water turnover by oral ingestion, thus contributing relatively to the compensation of water loss in a partial way, but not attaining full compensation for the loss due to diarrhoea.
