Livestock and Climate Change

Investigation of Bioclimatology Factors on Prediction of Honeybee Performance in Climate Change Conditions (Case Study: Shahindej)

Climatic variables are among the factors influencing the performance of various crop and livestock products. Considering the advanced climate change, the impact of climate indicators on livestock production can present an important challenge for producers. The prediction of crop yields is one of the most important issues in the food security debate to increase the economic efficiency of livesto...

Livestock Production at the Nexus of Resources Competition and Ethnoreligious Cynicism in Nigeria–Implicative Analysis on Food Security

Climate and livestock disease: assessing the vulnerability of agricultural systems to livestock pests under climate change scenarios

The Impact of Climate Change on Livestock Production amongst the Resource-Poor Farmers of Third World Countries: A Review

The world is currently experiencing average high temperatures and low precipitation, frequent droughts and scarcity of both ground and surface water. The damaging effects of global climate change are increasing and most damages are predicted to occur in developing countries due to their over-reliance on low-input rain-fed agricultural production and their low adaptive capacity. Due to the errat...

Managing Livestock Species under Climate Change in Australia

This paper examines the vulnerabilities of major livestock species raised in Australia to climate change using the regional livestock profile of Australia of around 1,400 regions. The number of each species owned, the number of each species sold, and the aggregate livestock revenue across all species are examined. The four major species analyzed are sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs. T...
