THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
Climate change has affected many plants and animals, some to a greater extent. looking at Domestic animals, some of them have been affected in such away that there is a need to adjust their habitat so they can adapt to the challenges that come with the changes in the climate. Some of the challenges stem from high level of environmental pollution and temperatures. Notably, the release of greenhouse gases have caused global warming and other changes in the climate .This is affecting the living organisms on the earth including domestic animals. Climate Change has affected the reproductive ability of animals as well at their health. Famers who depend only of livestock farming or animal husbandry suffer the effects of climate change more as the quality of their animals drops and well as the quantity when care is not taken. As a result of climate change ,some species of animals have experienced a drop in their offsprings and some are yet to adapt to the changing in climate. Others have simply adapted .For example,the ducks. Ducks enjoy spending most of their time in water swimming but as places are getting dryer and warmer ,they are learning to cope without a swim .They are adapting to the new climate and can mate to get more of their kind.
Some species of fowls experience challenges staying indoors or in the sun as the heat melts out the fats in them . Most farmers for fear of losing their domestic animals allow them to stay around the compound especially after crop harvesting. Some are trained to understand the environment so as not to be too distructive.
some of the animal are trained to understand how to manage their coping mechanisms with the changing climate.
The Rabbit is a typical domestic animal that adapts faster to changes.It can be trained to understand how to run to shelter in harsh sunshine as well as in torrential rain. Above all else, more trees should be planted and pollution should be reduced to prevent the climatic change and offer a better future to the generations of domestic animals ,plants and man.
Very true climate change isn’t all about increase dry weather conditions but it’s also leading to the disappearance of endangered species most especially animals species.
Fighting climate Change helps prevent Mother Earth thus biodiversity conservation
