How climate change affects animal health

www.fao.org/animal-health

Livestock play a vital role in our diets, providing 33% of high-quality protein and 17% of our dietary calories globally. However, climate change is impacting their health. Changing weather patterns, pests, and diseases are putting stress on animals, making them more vulnerable to disease, reducing milk production, and continuing to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.

By addressing climate-related threats to animal health, FAO supports farmers in building more sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. Through the implementation of good production practices, vaccinations, biosecurity, and feed quality for livestock, farmers can raise healthy livestock, sell more products and enjoy a more nutritious and diverse diet for many years to come.
