Climate change and future pig and poultry production: implications for animal health, welfare, performance, environment and economic consequences
Abstract
Pigs and poultry are predominantly kept in confined livestock buildings in Austria. By modelling the relationship between animals, building, and the ventilation system, the indoor thermal climate, air quality, and airborne emissions will be simulated. For a reference (1985-2010) and the future dataset (2036-2065), the vulnerability of the livestock system will be assessed. For various adaptation strategies, their cost-effectiveness will be evaluated to increase the resilience of livestock husbandry.
