Impact of water stress on adaptation and performance of sheep and goats in dryland regions under climate change scenarios: a systematic review
Published in 2023
Scientific article demonstrating that, despite changes affecting their physiology, blood, biochemistry and water and food consumption behaviors, sheep and goats can adapt to higher salinity levels in their drinking water in arid environments. Better adaptation is to be observed in local breeds, which prove to be more resilient.
