2.9 Impacts on animal husbandry
Reductions in feed sources will affect livestock growth and reproduction. Livestock
breeds will have a hard time adapting to new, warmer conditions. In addition, global
warming and the associated increase in extreme weather manifestations such as
typhoons, floods, storm-induced high waters, violent winds and downpours will greatly
threaten the animals’ life cycles. Climate change also raises the risk of epidemic breakouts.
