Tags: Livestock production related climate change, Case studies.


Climate Change Impact on Livestock: Adaptation and Mitigation addresses in detail both livestock’s role in climate change and the impacts of climate change on livestock production and reproduction. Given that livestock production systems are sensitive to climate change and at the same are themselves a contributor to the phenomenon, climate change has the potential to pose an increasingly formidable challenge to the development of the livestock sector. However, there is a dearth of scientific information on adapting livestock production to the changing climate; as such, well-founded reference material on sustaining livestock production systems under the changing climate scenarios in different agro-ecological zones of the world is essential. 532 p.
