Socio-Climatic Risk Calculator

Buffalo and cattle are sensitive to climate changes, especially rising temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns. Prolonged heat can reduce milk production, fertility, and feed intake. Droughts affect water availability and fodder quality, while excessive rainfall increases disease risks like foot rot. Cattle breeds in warmer regions may experience heat stress, impacting growth and immunity. Sustainable practices, such as improved shelter, balanced nutrition, and heat-tolerant breeds, are crucial to mitigate these impacts and ensure animal welfare and productivity.
