Vet Services Warns of Livestock Heat Stress
The General Directorate of Veterinary Services at the Ministry of Agriculture warns of the risks of heat stress that may affect livestock, especially poultry, rabbits, and cattle, during the period from September 7 to 13, 2026. Temperatures are expected to range between 30 and 41 degrees Celsius, with a significant increase in humidity. Poultry and rabbits are at high risk from high temperatures, while the health and milk production of dairy cows could also be potentially impacted. The authorities urge breeders to take preventive measures, including providing clean, cold water; enhancing ventilation and cooling; offering shaded areas; adjusting feeding routines; and ensuring generators are ready to maintain continuous cooling and ventilation. Signs of heat stress that require immediate veterinary consultation include heavy panting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and elevated body temperature.
