Peruvian livestock at risk: Senamhi warns of calf deaths and weakening of animals in the highlands due to extreme temperatures

The National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology of Peru (Senamhi) has issued warnings regarding severe risks to livestock in the central and southern Andean regions of the country. Extreme low temperatures and a seasonal reduction in grasslands are directly impacting local farming activities.

Authorities have reported specific cases involving the death of newborn animal offspring and a general weakening of livestock populations across the affected sierra zones. The combination of harsh weather conditions and forage scarcity continues to threaten the sustainability of regional livestock production.
