To meet these objectives, CCCA provides fact sheets as one measure — easy-to-understand brief summaries of climate-relevant fundamentals and current research findings. The aim of these short summaries is to present knowledge in a comprehensible and applicable form, both for the interested layperson and for the expert.
A new fact sheet on the topic "Impacts on Agriculture" entitled "The Keeping of Agricultural Livestock in Stables" has recently been published.
One of the authors is Günther Schauberger (University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna). The PiPoCooL project investigated the impacts of global warming on the indoor keeping of pigs and chickens. The focus was on heat stress in animals and its effects on health, animal welfare, and performance. In addition to current husbandry practices, adaptation measures were also examined that could reduce increasing heat stress in animals. These include energy-saving air treatment systems, the reduction of animal density in stables, and adaptations to ventilation systems.
