Major impacts of climate change on livestock production.

This podcast explore the existing research on the effects of climate change on livestock production and the impact of livestock production on greenhouse gas emissions. The paper discusses how rising temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, and increased carbon dioxide concentrations impact livestock growth rates, feed supply, milk and egg production, reproductive performance, and disease susceptibility. The podcast also explores various adaptation and mitigation strategies that can be used to lessen the negative impacts of climate change on livestock production, such as breed selection, changes in feeding practices, and improved manure management.
