What are the Effects of Climate Change on Livestock and Poultry

Effect of Climate Change on Livestock and PoultryGlobal temperature and destruction of environment caused by human being is one of the reasons for climate change. Our country is regularly affected by different natural disasters. The disasters are attacking on different countries regularly due to climatic change. Livestock and poultry are greatly affected by various natural disasters like heavy tsunami, sea cyclone, tornado, flood and drought. For this reason, farm owner or farmers do not get economic benefit. For recovering this loss in some extent, several steps should be taken during and after the disaster. Considering the fact of natural disaster in Bangladesh, protection and awareness should be raised up against sea cyclone, tornado, flood, drought, mountain rain, excessive rainfall etc. By this time, sal forest of Barendra region, Patnitola and Najipur forest of Rajshahi have beenextinct. As a result, extreme drought occurs in this region. Except reestablishment of those forest areas, law of environment should be activated immediately for planning for coastal forestation, extension of forestation of uncategorized forest area in Chittagong hill tracts, rescue and re-dredging of country rivers and canals and protection of all kinds of hills. Along with social forestation in our country, trees should be planted in a wide range. These are long term permanent system. If steps are taken for implementation of these matters, our country, therefore, livestock can be protected from natural disaster caused by climate change. Various ways of problem evaluation of livestock caused by climate change are described below:

Drought Related Problem: Problems which are observed during drought

  1. Scarcity of green grass.
  2. Water is polluted.
  3. Cattle's suffer from malnutrition.
  4. Cattle's are affected by different diseases.
  5. Dryness of field grasses.
  6. External parasitic infection increases on the animal body surface.
  7. Excessive heat creates intolerable situation for birds.
  8. Reducing the health condition including chances of death.
  9. Heat stress causes death of broiler and layer.

Flood Related Problem: The problems which are observed during flooding

  1. Water logging is created.
  2. Maximum areas of country go under water.
  3. Disease outbreaks.
  4. Cattle feed is not available.
  5. Water is polluted.
  6. Problem in maintaining livestock is created.
  7. Cattle's suffer from malnutrition.
  8. Infestation of different infectious disease and attack of worms are increased.
  9. Toxicity generates in grasses, cattle become sick.
  10. Environment becomes unhygienic, many animals die.

Problem Related to Tidal Wave: The problems which are observed during tidal wave-

  1. Water is polluted in tidal wave affected area.
  2. Many livestock and animals die immediately after tidal wave and storm.
  3. Dead birds pollute environment in want of burial.
  4. Scarcity of animal feed occurs.
  5. Animal death occurs due to affection of diarrhoea, stomach illness, bloating etc.

Influence of Climate on Crop Production in Bangladesh

From the beginning of the creation of the earth, the climate is being changed gradually; thereby getting suitable for animals and plants to survive. The trend of this climate change was very slow. But a remarkable change in climate is being noticed in many countries of the world for the last century. Climate change due to increase in temperature has been created an unfavorable condition in nature. The developed world is responsible for this change. The concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is increasing due to urbanization, mechanical civilization, industrialization, injudicious use of fuel and coal, deforestation etc. For that reason, world temperature is increasing day by day. Now- a- days, Bangladesh is identified as the most affected and hazardous country in the world. Human Development of the United Nations (2007- 08) said that seven core people of Bangladesh will be affected due to climate change.

Adaptation Mechanism in Livestock for the Perspective of Climate Change

Image
Adaptation involves the technique to adapt of a species with its environment. It should be remembered that adaptation process is accomplished in animal body. Animal adaptation is controlled by environmental weather and climate. So, adaptation depends on environmental temperature, humidity, wind blowing and its properties, height of the place from the sea level and physical structure & physical condition of animal. Animal can survive by facing those properties of adaptation. It is the normal phenomenon of nature. Although human being can protect them by their knowledge if suddenly massive climatic change occurs, but livestock and poultry cannot be adapted in that situation. Because livestock and poultry are helpless and gentle animal. Many of them are to be able to adapt with the environment if the climatic change is occurred slowly in that area. Many species may also be extinct due to unable to adapt with environment. People�s help is required for animal adaptation in unfavorable a
