Abstract

Climate change, especially global warming, may highly influence the production performance of farm animals throughout the world. Global warming has a great impact on the production and reproductive activity of cattle and buffaloes. The Egyptian buffalo is an important tropical species adapted to the environmental conditions in Egypt and other developed countries. In the last ten years, Egypt was exposed to waves of heat and cold which stressed the animals and decreased animal production. This was clear in 2015. So we needed animals more tolerance to stress (cold or heat) and can make modifications to micro-environmental conditions around it, faster recovery from heat stress, less water consumption, and lower methane emissions. It is more necessary to make an adaption of animals and their mitigation with environmental conditions, to decrease the adverse bad effects of climatic change in environmental conditions on animals for increasing the animal production. In this review, we discussed the roles of all environmental factors related to changes in animal production.
