Climate Change And Its Impact On Livestock Production Systems: Adaptation Strategies And Future Direction
Keywords:
Climate change, livestock production, adaptation strategies, heat stress, precision livestock farming
Abstract
Climate change poses significant challenges to global livestock production systems, with rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and the spread of diseases threatening animal health and productivity. This review examines the impacts of climate change on livestock, focusing on heat stress, water scarcity, and shifts in disease dynamics, which can reduce productivity and compromise food security. It explores adaptation strategies, including genetic selection for climate resilience, management practices to mitigate heat stress and integration of precision livestock farming technologies. Additionally, the review highlights the importance of policy frameworks and international cooperation in supporting these adaptation efforts. Livestock production is a crucial component of global food systems, particularly in developing countries, where it provides essential nutrients, income, and employment. Therefore, understanding how to adapt to climate change is vital for ensuring sustainable livestock farming. The paper also identifies research gaps and future directions, emphasizing the need for cross-disciplinary approaches that bring together climate scientists, veterinarians, agricultural economists, and policymakers to develop comprehensive strategies for climate-resilient livestock systems.
