| Abstract | Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Adapting Livestock Systems to Climate Change Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523-1644 www.LCCCRSP.org Among the livestock species, sheep and goats are the main source of livelihood for rural people due to their high reproductive rates and ease of conversion to cash to meet the financial needs of rural producers. Although the benefits from sheep and goats hold great promise, the current level of its contribution to rural livelihoods is low due to climate change related factors. Thermal, nutritional, and water related stresses along with restlessness are some of the consequence of climate change related factors that affect sheep and goat productivity. As these species are often owned by the poor sections of rural communities, any intervention that improves the productivity of sheep and goats could have positive contribution in reducing existing poverty in the area.
