Abstract

 

The aim of this paper is to review the effects of climate change on nutritional supply and related parameters that have roles in reducing livestock production and productivity. Climate change can cause long-term changes in the environment in turn affect feed production and generally the production of farm animals. The main effects of climate change on livestock nutrition are through its effects in feed resources availability.  Livestock development in low income countries needs to operate within the overall development objectives of reducing rural poverty, promoting rural growth and enhancing sustainable resource use. It will be our task as nutritionists to use improved feed crop varieties in a highly focused and professional manner when formulating diets. Therefore, climate researchers, meteorologists, plant breeders, crop producers, animal nutritionists, biologists, geneticists, livestock producers, animal housing technicians, doctors, etc. should all work together in the frames of a carefully structured and coordinated project to achieve the objectives of climate change adaptation, designing future directions in livestock production and mitigation strategies. Generally, negative impacts of climate change on livestock nutrition are continuing directly or indirectly and in different ways and livestock production and productivity is declining from time to time. For the demand-led and changing livestock systems, the focus of research that can benefit the resource poor needs to attend to what is changing? Now the task is given, and its accomplishment to minimize the effects of the existing changes depends only on us.
