| Abstract | ||
| This research included a review of climatic elements and their relationship to livestock breeding in Kirkuk Governorate As this study dealt with two sections, the first topic dealt with the geographical distribution of livestock numbers in Kirkuk governorate, while the second topic dealt with climatic elements and their relationship to livestock breeding in the region. The study found that the elements of climate (solar radiation, temperatures, wind and rain) have an effect on raising livestock in the region. The increase in the amount of solar radiation and temperatures during the summer months has a negative impact on animals, as it affects their physiological functions and then their production of meat and milk, as well. The effect of wind and its effectiveness increases with the beginning of recording high rates in temperatures and this appears during the summer months, the winds increase in intensity with the rise in temperatures, and that rain and its fluctuation in the recent period due to climatic changes and drought had a negative impact on the animals in the region. | ||
