Cold and humidity lower livestock productivity
The main concerns in the article relate to the impact of climatic conditions, especially cold, humidity, and poor ventilation, on the health and productivity of livestock during the autumn and winter seasons. The report indicates that lower temperatures and higher humidity expose animals to stress, leading to reduced milk production, delayed fattening and growth, weakened fertility, and increased risks of respiratory diseases and pneumonia. Additionally, poor ventilation contributes to the accumulation of harmful gases, which damage the respiratory system and facilitate the spread of diseases and parasites. It also causes skin and hoof problems. It is recommended to improve shelter conditions and ventilation, as well as provide appropriate nutrition to mitigate these risks, since the cold, moist weather consumes more energy from the animals to maintain their body heat, negatively affecting their productivity and reproductive performance.
