An aspect of agriculture majorly affected by climate change is poultry production. The effect of climate change can be felt by poultry birds due to its range in thermal condition that affects the animal's physiological and behavioural activities. Production in Poultry birds is mostly at its peak under a tolerable heat condition. An understanding of how to control environmental conditions is very crucial to a successful poultry production and welfare.
