Heatwave Alert: Livestock Heat Stress Risks

A warning has been issued by the General Directorate of Veterinary Services at the Ministry of Agriculture regarding the risks of heat stress on livestock during the period from September 7 to 13, 2026. This is due to the expected high temperatures ranging between 30 and 41 degrees Celsius, along with increased humidity levels, especially in coastal and inland areas. High temperatures pose significant risks to poultry, rabbits, and dairy cows, potentially affecting their health and milk production substantially. Veterinary authorities recommend that farmers take preventive measures such as providing clean water, enhancing ventilation and cooling systems, adjusting feed routines, and ensuring backup generators are ready to maintain ventilation. They also emphasize the importance of consulting a veterinarian at the first signs of heat stress—such as heavy panting, lethargy, loss of appetite, or elevated internal body temperature—to prevent the animals' health from deteriorating.
