Environmental Influences on Animal Growth, Welfare And Reproduction

The environment plays a major role in the profitability of any livestock enterprise. Therefore, understanding how each environmental factor affects the growth, welfare and reproduction of animals is very important. When the influence that each environmental factor has on the growth, welfare and reproduction is known, the livestock producer can provide solutions that will mitigate the negative effects of these environmental factors on his livestock. The positive influence of any environmental factor can be applied in order to increase production. Hence, the influence that major environmental factors play on animal growth, welfare and reproduction should be known.
