Climate change is not only the most important problem for the realization of sustainable development, but also an important threat for the future of human beings. Within the scope of animal production, it will have far-reaching consequences, especially on regions that are vital to the world's nutritional and livelihood sources. While these effects increase the vulnerability of livestock systems, events such as drought may worsen the effects of stresses that may arise. In addition to the impact of climate change on ecosystems, it is inevitable that it creates important problems on the natural resources that form the basis of animal production. Climatology features such as temperature and precipitation models have a major impact on the availability of animals throughout the year on pasture and other resources. On the other hand, animal production activities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions as well as being an important link in the food chain. The world livestock industry is expected to experience a major transformation, supporting high demand for meat and milk, which is likely to double in size in the coming years, especially in developing countries. Animal production contributes to the sustainable lives of millions of people all over the world through the use of worthless lands and the conversion of energy and protein resources that cannot be used by humans to highly nutritious animal sourced foods, reducing environmental pollution by agricultural by-products, earning income and supporting livelihoods. In this study, the effects of climate change on livestock activities and animal production have been tried to be addressed.
