Abstract

  Climate change and livestock rearing are interrelated processes, both of which take place on a global scale. Livestock play an important role in economy of the developing countries like India. FAO estimates that per capita livestock production and productivity have been stagnant over the last two decades. This has been attributed to a number of production and productivity constraints including global climatic change. Climate affects livestock both directly and indirectly. Direct effects from air temperature, humidity, wind speed and other climate factors influence animal performance: growth, milk production, wool production and reproduction.Indirect effects include climatic influences on the quantity and quality of feedstuffs such as pasture, forage, grain and the severity and distribution of livestock diseases and parasites. Understanding the impact of climate change on livestock productivity is crucial to mitigate theadverse impact on the gains from other efforts.

Keywords: Global Warming, Green House Gases, Livestock.
