20. Impact of COVID-19 on livestock production and related industry

Abstract

Livestock contributes significantly to rural and urban food security, offers a diverse range of products, generates jobs, increases demand for goods and services, and promotes economic value by contributing capital for finance and human. COVID-19 has had a significant influence on different sectors at regional, global and national levels, including livestock. It has a negative impact on animal production by limiting provision to animal inputs, feeds, markets, services and consumers as well as by limiting processing facility, storage capacity, conservation, and businesses opportunities and animal health problem by limiting the test and diagnostic facilities, surveillance, animal disease reporting problems, and stopping the animal disease prevention program nationally. We can not only stop any of the worst effects, but we can also endorse a transition to more humane livestock processing processes that are more in tune with nature which promote healthier diets and therefore improved health predictions for all. As a result, since no cases of COVID-19 transmission from livestock to humans have been recorded, farmers can continue to hold, rear, care for, and sustain their livestock by putting measures in place.
