Climate Change And Novel Approaches To Enhance Livestock Resilience Against Heat Stress
Climate is the average weather over a lengthy period of time, usually thirty years. Precisely speaking, it represents the average and fluctuations of meteorological factors across periods varying from months to millions of years. One of the main causes of climate change is anthropogenic activity. Climate change is a significant risk factor affecting livestock performance in India Livestock is crucial to the global economy, and the effects of climate change extend beyond crop production to impact livestock as well. This includes decreased milk yields and quality, lower meat production, and reduced fertility. As a result, food security based on livestock is threatened in many regions around the world. Heat stress directly affect global livestock production by undermining health, welfare, and productivity, while also indirectly impacting it by diminishing the quality and availability of animal feed. To mitigate the economic losses caused by heat stress, several key strategies are being employed.Keywords: Climate change, environmental modifications, advanced strategies, novel technologies
