Climate change can impact the spread of livestock diseases in several ways. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can create environments that are more conducive to the survival and transmission of disease-causing pathogens. Warmer temperatures can also lead to the expansion of the geographical range of certain diseases, allowing them to spread to new areas where they were not previously present. Additionally, extreme weather events such as floods or droughts can disrupt livestock management practices and increase the stress on animals, making them more susceptible to disease. Overall, climate change can create conditions that facilitate the spread and persistence of livestock diseases, posing challenges for both animal health and agricultural productivity.
