Climate change and its impact on livestock and poultry population

Abstract

Climate change is a long term shift in the Earth’s average temperature and weather conditions. Temperature is having a crucial impact on the environment because any fluctuation in this parameter is a cardinal signal of the disturbances in regional or local environment. This altering climate is impacting poultry and livestock industry to a great extent. Physiological parameters of the livestock as well as poultry population are altered by this escalating temperature of the globe. This in turn is affecting growth, productivity and overall health of the animal and birds. This review throws insight into the effect of climate change on overall health and productivity of the animals and birds.
