Abstract :

The dairy industry facing unprecedented issues driven by the complex relation between climate change and global demand for dairy products. As climate patterns displace globally, the agricultural sector including dairy production is balanced to experience significant interference. This paper explores the relationship between climate change and the dairy industry by examining their impacts on production systems, waste management, and animal health. Climate change amplifies the existing vulnerabilities within the dairy sector by affecting production, reproduction, and animal health. Heat stress emerges as a critical concern, influencing milk production, fertility, and prone to diseases. The rapid increase in temperature influences dairy animals' physiological changes and metabolic disturbances, leading to reduced productivity and increased health risks. This paper highlights the necessity for collaborative efforts among policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders to tackle the challenges raised in the dairy sector by climate change. The industry can navigate these challenges by implementing adaptive strategies and innovative solutions while ensuring environmental sustainability and food security for future generations.
