Heat stress is a global problem in poultry production. A day old chick’s average body temperature is 39.5°C to 40.5°C. While the normal internal temperature for the adult broiler, layer and breeder bird is 40.5°C to 41.5C°. Heat stress begins when the room temperature is above 29.5C° due to which physiological changes starts within bird’s body to disperse excess heat. If this condition continues it will affect optimal growth rate, hatchability, egg size, eggshell quality and egg production. High ambient temperature can be destructive to commercial broilers; engaged with high humidity they can have even more harmful effect. Heat stress interrupt with the broiler comfort and suppresses productive efficiency, growth rate, feed efficiency, carcass quality, increased time to reach market value and high mortality. In laying hens, Heat stress lead to decline in egg production and egg shell quality, as well as, shelf life of egg is also lowered. In breeder high room temperature linked with high humidity decreases fertility leading to low hatchability.

The livestock industry is facing one of the greatest challenges in its history: producing enough food for a growing global population while reducing its environmental impact. As demand for milk, meat, and other animal products continues to rise, scientists and farmers are searching for innovative solutions that can improve animal productivity without compromising environmental sustainability.

One promising answer may lie in an unlikely source—essential oils. Commonly known for their use in perfumes, medicines, and food flavorings, these natural plant extracts are now attracting attention as powerful feed additives capable of transforming rumen fermentation, improving feed efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock.

🌾🇵🇰 As Pakistan prepares to unveil Budget 2026-27, farmers, agricultural experts, and industry stakeholders are urging the government to introduce a clear long term agricultural policy to address rising production costs, unstable crop prices, water shortages, and climate related challenges.

🚜 Agriculture remains a backbone of Pakistan’s economy, supporting food security, exports, and millions of rural livelihoods. However, growers say inconsistent policies, increasing fertilizer and fuel costs, shrinking farm sizes, and uncertain wheat pricing have made farming increasingly difficult and less profitable.

💧 Water scarcity has emerged as one of the biggest threats to future agricultural growth, while experts are calling for investment in modern irrigation systems, climate resilient farming practices, machinery rental programs, and transparent crop pricing mechanisms.

📈 Stakeholders believe the upcoming budget presents a critical opportunity to establish a long term roadmap focused on productivity, mechanization, farmer profitability, climate adaptation, and sustainable food security.

🌱 With agriculture facing mounting economic and environmental pressures, the farming community is closely watching for policy decisions that could shape Pakistan’s agricultural future for years to come.

🐄🐐📈 Eidul Azha 2026 has once again highlighted the enormous economic power of Pakistan’s livestock sector, with the wider Eid economy estimated at around Rs641 billion and sacrificial animal sales exceeding Rs400 billion 💰🇵🇰

According to industry estimates, around 7.47 million animals were sacrificed across the country, including 2.75 million cows and bulls, 4.20 million goats, 500,000 sheep, and 25,000 camels 🐂🐐🐑🐪

The Pakistan Tanners Association reported that hides and skins collected during Eid were valued at approximately Rs8.67 billion, providing a major boost to Pakistan’s leather and export industries 🏭🧥

Beyond animal sales, the Eid economy supports transporters, fodder suppliers, mandi operators, butchers, livestock traders, seasonal workers, and countless rural households. Millions of urban buyers transfer liquidity directly to farmers, making Eidul Azha one of Pakistan’s largest annual rural income events 🌾🚚

The number of sacrificial animals reportedly increased by over 7% compared to last year, reflecting continued growth in the livestock sector despite inflation, rising feed costs, and logistical challenges 📊📈

Experts say Eidul Azha remains one of Pakistan’s most significant informal economic activities, impacting agriculture, livestock, leather, food security, employment, and rural development nationwide 🌍🥩

🐄⚠️ Mexico’s livestock industry is facing mounting losses as a major flesh eating screwworm outbreak disrupts cattle trade and forces producers to shift toward processed beef exports 🇲🇽🥩

Authorities say stricter U.S. border controls on live cattle imports have severely impacted cross border livestock trade, causing estimated losses of nearly $1.8 billion across Mexico’s cattle sector 💰📉

To offset the crisis, Mexico has increased exports of processed beef to the United States by around 23% during the first four months of the year, with industry leaders hoping shipments could double next year 🚢📈

The screwworm parasite, which feeds on living tissue, poses serious risks to cattle, livestock, pets, wildlife, and in rare cases humans 🦠🐾 Mexico has recorded more than 25,000 screwworm cases since November 2024, with over 1,100 active infections still under monitoring.

Veterinary authorities are now intensifying sterile fly release programs across affected regions to slow the spread of the parasite, while a new sterile fly production facility in Chiapas is expected to begin operations soon 🔬🪰

Experts warn that prolonged livestock disease outbreaks can destabilize meat markets, disrupt food supply chains, and create major economic pressure on countries dependent on cattle exports 🌍🐂

🥩📈 Beef prices in the United States have surged to record highs as growing demand for high protein diets collides with shrinking cattle herds and tight livestock supplies 🇺🇸🐄

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ground beef prices recently climbed to an average of $6.90 per pound, while overall beef and veal prices have jumped nearly 15% compared to last year 💰⚠️

Experts say the rise is being driven by increasing consumer demand for protein rich foods, changing dietary trends, and strong market demand during the upcoming grilling season 🍔🔥

At the same time, U.S. cattle inventories remain near multi decade lows due to high feed costs, climate stress, land pressures, and slow herd rebuilding cycles 🌾🌡️ Ranchers are reportedly hesitant to expand production because livestock recovery takes years rather than months.

Despite higher prices, Americans spent an estimated $42.4 billion on beef over the past year, showing consumers are paying more even while buying smaller quantities 📊🥩

Analysts warn that unless cattle herd recovery accelerates, elevated beef prices could continue for the coming seasons and may push some consumers toward alternative protein options 🌍🍗

🐄🌍 Russia and China have agreed to strengthen livestock biosecurity and expand bilateral meat trade following recent cattle disease concerns in Siberia 🇷🇺🇨🇳

The joint declaration came after talks between President Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping, with both countries pledging stricter veterinary safety measures, joint risk assessments, and increased exports of beef, pork by products, and other meat products from disease safe regions 🥩📈

The move follows reports of thousands of cattle being culled in Siberia after outbreaks of pasteurellosis, while global attention also grew over unconfirmed concerns linked to foot and mouth disease 🦠⚠️ Russia has denied all FMD allegations and says it remains officially disease free since 2025.

Russian meat exports to China reportedly rose 19% last year to nearly 254,000 metric tons, highlighting China’s growing importance as a key market for Russian agriculture 🚢🌾

Experts warn that livestock disease outbreaks can severely impact food security, farmer livelihoods, and global meat supply chains, making veterinary monitoring and biosecurity more critical than ever 🔬🐓

🌍⚠️ The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has warned that prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a major global agrifood crisis within the next 6 to 12 months 🚢🌾

According to the FAO, continued instability in one of the world’s most critical shipping corridors may lead to soaring food inflation, fertilizer shortages, supply chain breakdowns, and rising food insecurity worldwide.

The Strait of Hormuz handles a major share of global oil, liquefied natural gas, fertilizer materials, and agricultural trade flows. Experts say rising energy costs and delayed fertilizer shipments are already creating pressure on global food systems 📉🌍

The warning highlights serious risks for crop farming, livestock, poultry, dairy, fisheries, and food transportation systems. Higher fertilizer and fuel costs could increase prices for wheat, rice, corn, vegetables, poultry feed, meat, milk, and eggs 🐔🥛🌽

Industry analysts warn that import dependent countries and developing economies may face the biggest challenges as disruptions threaten crop production cycles and food supply chains.

The FAO says urgent international coordination is needed to stabilize shipping routes, protect fertilizer supplies, and prevent a deeper global food emergency 🚨🍽️
