Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) for poultry production is an integrated approach to managing poultry production that addresses the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. Poultry flocks are particularly vulnerable to climate change because birds can only tolerate narrow temperature ranges. Poultry farmers, therefore, need to consider making adaptations to help reduce cost, risk, and concern in the future. The challenges posed by climate change fit broadly into one of the two categories: loss of productivity or increasing costs. Regarding productivity, housing systems need to be managed to maintain optimal seasonal temperatures and reduce the risk of heat stress. Farmers would need to invest in ventilation and cooling. Reproductive capacity may decrease. Studies conducted on broilers found that a poultry house under a future climate change scenario exceeded critical temperature on 30 percent more occasions despite a 10 percent increase in ventilation. Furthermore, more dramatic events like storms increase stress and may adversely affect productivity.
