What are the relationships (in term of climatic change) between production, profitability, greenhouse gas mitigation and carbon confiscation on livestock industries.
Climate change has a great negative effect on livestock production as well as profitablity. It hampers the grazing land and farmers are lossing their interest for livestock rearing.

Ok... The variable climate affects crops, other living beings including the livestock and poultru as well. Tthe effects are measured in terms of increased temperature, humidity or atmospheric moisture etc. The increase in the temperature from the normal limits coupled with the humility enhance the discomforts level of the livestock resulting in the reduced intake of feed by the livestock and thereby thr production and productivity which is conertible in the reduced profits to the entrepreneur. Increased temperature could also results into the reduced size of the poultry and hence the profit. Similar is the case with goatry and piggery....
The change in climate condition also effective for all organisms. Change in climatic conditions to create disturbance in food chain. Sometime quality of food decreases so its much effective for production. only few individuals are live or healthy. others are week or die (natural selection).
The impact of climate change on animal husbandry and the economy, sometimes very tragic.
Therefore, all kinds of businesses should assess risks of natural disasters to reduce financial losses.
In addition to the other observations above, there is another important issue to consider which is the amount of water that may be available at a given location in the medium to long term in a climate change scenario. Considering this, there may be a considerable reduction in certain food producing regions and consequently not be enough for their demand as that of other users of the river basin and consequently, a rise in the costs of production to the final product.
Besides to all aforementioned arguments, it is noteworthy to consider whether the livestock rearing refers to meet the feeding demands of densely population at developed economies (including mega-cities of intensified industrial activities), or at developing economies of sparsely rehabilitated rural provinces. Indeed, at densely populated urban areas and next to industrial zones/parks, the adverse climate changes –coupled with the pollution caused by the industrial activities– are resulting in controlled livestock rearing of ensuring meat production and profitability perspectives, whereas the determining parameters of livestock (mainly poultry and pasture) at developing rural economies are unpredictable, being mainly determined by: temperature, humidity, water precipitation, snowfalls, wind speed, solar radiation, and soil types/composition; all contributing to nutrients’ intake and to breeding conditions.
Yes Climate change affects production and general physiological condition of the all animals..
