Hot: Coldiretti, nature suffers, from bees to crops stressed – ANSA.it

The bees are considered an indicator of the health of nature and at this time for the hot fly less and tend to stay on the ground without being able to take the pollen, confirming that rising temperatures also cause serious effects on plants and animals. And ‘Coldiretti who made an analysis on the impact on the nature of the year’s hottest ever. The heat – adds Coldiretti – in homes, in gardens and cultivated fields has boosted water demands by plants, even six fruits taste better because the heat encourages evapotranspiration and increases the concentration of sugar. In difficulty are the crops of corn needed to feed animals in need of adequate irrigation.

The cows in the barns, stressed by high temperatures, producing up to 15 percent less milk than to about 30 liters per day which are milked in normal times, according to Coldiretti in highlighting an emergency worsened considerably by moisture that, as for people, increases the feeling of hot even for the cows. In difficulty is actually the entire farm Italy – Coldiretti continues – and also in chicken coops was recording a decline of between 5 to 10 percent in the spawning, while the pigs were switched conditioners to prevent temperatures sfondino the threshold of 28 degrees beyond which the animals begin to suffer and eat up to 40 percent less of the daily ration. A situation that – concluded Coldiretti – leads to an increase in costs to the barn to higher consumption of water and energy.
