Potential Climate Change Impacts on Livestock and Food Security …

External cold temperatures, coupled with high energy diets, can result in ascitesrelated deaths because of insufficient pulmonary vascular capillary capacity for the
blood flow necessary to meet a high metabolic oxygen requirement. Because of the
right ventricle of birds has developed as a volume pump, not as a pressure pump,
since the heart rarely had to respond to changes in pressure [38], hypertrophy of
the right ventricle will, in the end, result in diminished effectiveness of the privilege
atrio-ventricular valve. Valvular disappointment will cause the reverse of blood from
the right ventricle to the atrium, net enlargement of the right ventricle and the right
ventricle failure, orderly circulatory congestion, trailed by liver congestion. This
has been well documented in humans with liver cirrhosis or renal failure [39]. The
link between cold stress and ascites incidence soon led to investigations of exact
temperature effect on metabolism and chicken oxygen requirements. The oxygen
consumption by broilers strains which selected for either feed efficiency or weight
gain was increased 43–59% by lowering the temperature [40].
Environment and Management
Besides the effect of cold temperature to introduce the PHS in chickens, the effect
of high altitude (either natural or simulated) is apparent to be the 2
nd indirect reason
for PHS induced via decreasing in partial pressure of oxygen. The equivalent percentage of oxygen drops approximately 1.0% for every 500 m rise in elevation [41].
Significant microscopic damage to the heart, lungs and kidneys of the birds reared
at high altitude have been noticed. These microscopic changes also were seen in
one-week-old broilers raised at high altitude [35], and in birds exposed to simulated
high altitude. When the PHS was first observed, it was seen mainly in areas of higher
altitude and fast-growing broilers although it now occurs at all altitudes. In susceptible lines, hypoxic conditions amid hatching of the chicken egg have been appeared
to cause an expansion in the occurrence of the PHS in the grown-up chicken. Unfortunately, good management and environmental practices that encourage high feed
intake and rapid growth tend to exacerbate ascites. Although the PHS is not fully
understood, this heart failure is thought to be a consequence of cold temperature a
combined with a lowered oxygen tension in poultry houses.
4.2 Large Animal Production
In Egypt, foreign agricultural service (FAS-Cairo) figures calf production in 2018 to
increment to 1.93 million head, up 4% from 1.85 million head in 2017. The government is seeking after expanded local meat production. The Egyptian crowd’s shortage
