Assessing the Impacts of Climate Change on Livestock Production and Exploring Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies in Developing Countries: A Comprehensive Review

This research examines strategies for mitigating environmental impacts in livestock production through comprehensive emission reduction, sustainable intensification, and supportive policy frameworks. Emission reduction efforts focus on managing methane emissions from enteric fermentation and optimizing carbon sequestration in soils and vegetation. Sustainable intensification strategies aim to enhance resource efficiency in livestock systems through integrated crop-livestock approaches and efficient resource utilization. Policy and institutional support are critical in promoting climate-resilient livestock production, encompassing supportive policies and capacity building initiatives. By synthesizing these strategies, the study underscores the importance of integrated approaches in mitigating climate change impacts and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in livestock farming.
