Evaluation of Farmer Perceptions and Adaptive Practices Towards Climate-induced Livestock Health Risks in Jhajjar
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study evaluates farmer perceptions and adaptive practices in response to climate-induced livestock health risks.Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and key informant interviews with livestock farmers across Jhajjar district.The findings reveal that a majority of farmers have observed increased incidences of heat stress, disease outbreaks, and reduced productivity in their livestock, which they associate with rising temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns.Despite limited formal training, many farmers employ traditional and adaptive strategies, such as altering feeding patterns, improving shelter conditions, and adjusting grazing practices.However, knowledge gaps, financial constraints, and inadequate veterinary support hinder effective adaptation.The study underscores the urgent need for climateresilient extension services, targeted awareness programs, and policy interventions to strengthen adaptive capacity and safeguard livestock-dependent livelihoods.
