Climate and livestock disease: assessing the vulnerability of agricultural systems to livestock pests under climate change scenarios
Livestock as a sector is extremely important to the global economy and to rural livelihoods. As of 2013, there was an estimated 38 billion livestock in the world, or five animals for every person. Most (81%) were in developing countries. Around one billion smallholder farmers keep livestock, many...

| description | Livestock as a sector is extremely important to the global economy and to rural livelihoods. As of 2013, there
was an estimated 38 billion livestock in the world, or five animals for every person. Most (81%) were in
developing countries. Around one billion smallholder farmers keep livestock, many of them women. The
burden of animal disease in developing countries is high: livestock disease probably kills 20% of ruminants
and more than 50% of poultry each year causing a loss of approximately USD 300 billion per year. Climate
change can exacerbate disease in livestock, and some diseases are especially sensitive to climate change.
Among 65 animal diseases identified as most important to poor livestock keepers, 58% are climate sensitive.
Climate change may also have indirect effects on animal disease, and these may be greater than the direct
effects. |
