Vet Department Warns of Livestock Heat Stress
The General Directorate of Veterinary Services at the Ministry of Agriculture has warned of the risks of heat stress on livestock during the ongoing heatwave from September 7 to 13, 2026. Temperatures are expected to range between 30°C and 41°C, with a notable increase in humidity levels, especially in coastal and inland areas. It has been clarified that poultry and rabbits are among the most vulnerable species to the effects of heat stress, while dairy cows face a high risk, which could lead to deterioration in their health and milk production. The authorities have called for preventative measures, including providing cold water, enhancing ventilation and cooling methods, avoiding the movement of animals during peak heat hours, modifying feeding routines, and ensuring electrical equipment is ready to maintain continuous cooling. Additionally, it is important to contact veterinarians if signs of heat stress appear.
