Climate change is seen as a significant threat to the sustainability of many species, ecosystems and livestock production systems in many parts of the world. With the rise of average temperatures at the global level, a number of effects occur. These effects lead to different changes in climate, regionally and globally. Livestock sector in Turkey is the leading sector that is most affected by the global climate change due to the predomination of rural economic structure and industries based on developing livestock breeding. Health and welfare in animal production are an integral part of environmental sustainability. Extreme events and seasonal fluctuations affect the welfare of the animals and cause a decline in yield and reproductive performance. Sheep and goat are animals that can make the best use of pasture and use it in every season of the year. In addition to the effects of climate change on ecosystems, it is inevitable that it will create important problems on the natural resources that form the basis of animal production. Climatic characteristics such as temperature and precipitation patterns have a significant impact on the availability of pasture and other resources throughout the year of animals. In this study, it was aimed to reveal the effects of climate change on animal husbandry and especially on sheep and goat breeding.
