This book endeavors to educate its readers on the methods and strategies for managing livestock during disasters. It covers both man-made and natural disasters and their impact on livestock, as well as providing information on how to better manage them for improved survival and assistance to humans. The book discusses how animals can sense impending disasters and provides common signs to look out for, as well as the benefits of heeding these warnings. The book also covers the management of feeding, feed resources, production, and health, with the aim of making livestock production more economically viable. It is hoped that this compilation will prove useful for researchers, planners, and policymakers in understanding the causes of decreased productivity and health in livestock in drier regions and in devising management plans to promote sustainability and improvement of production.
