Abstract
"Climate change is any shift in
climate over time either due to natural
variations or as a result of human
activity. Maintenance of homeothermy and
homeostasis is mandatory for animals to
survive, produce and reproduce. Animals
can express their full genetic production
potential only within a narrower range of
environmental temperature, i.e. zone of
thermo-neutrality, within which metabolic
rate is independent of the environmental
temperature. Climate change, principally
global warming, may directly affect
production performances in farm animals
and impact worldwide on livestock
production."
