COVID-19 and Livestock system: Livestock and poultry production in the industrialized era as well as in the developing world, is distinguished by its nature which is intensive and it is initially run by the policies of the post-war government which tends to enhance production capacity and reduce cost, but it remains as customer need for food which is cheap in nature (Seleiman et al., 2020). Farms are smaller in number but greater in size, with more cattle and birds per holding housed, climate-controlled structures, automation, and fewer stockpersons. Now it becomes common of vertical integration for one company which stands that one corporation owns the whole operation, from the feed mill to the manufacturing plant. Maximum output is desired from the production process, with all portions from hatch to slaughter always performing at full efficiency. If at any side of the chain is disturbed in flowing then immediate impacts may occur for animal welfare and for the environment as well as for human. The immediate consequences of COVID-19 were panic wave buying by people. Disappearing commodities from market shelves in the first few days were toilet rolls, sanitizers and disinfectants, pasta, flour, rice and yeast where in few nations’ eggs, milk and cheese. Increased beef, egg, and dairy supermarket sales, with a higher rate when lockdowns were reported, but then sales continued as compared to the same period last year, from March to July, when panic was also emerged (Weersink et al., 2020). Animal welfare at farm level and livestock farming: The abrupt restriction of human activities, as well as the economic downturn, are projected to have an effect on agriculture and veterinary care, and thus on animal welfare (Gortázar and de la Fuente, 2020). The COVID-19 epidemic wreaked havoc on animal welfare efforts. Farmers, staff, and veterinary practitioners were suddenly restricted in their practices, resulting in a lack of implementation of regular farming tasks. Such a condition makes it difficult to keep track of animal needs and welfare, preventing timely action to address any emerging issues. Many farmers have resorted to overstocking their livestock under such circumstances, which raises crowding-related suffering and reduces immune functions. As a result, the risk of animal disease is greatly elevated, posing a threat to the health and competitiveness of stocking livestock (Ghafouri-Fard et al., 2020). Limitation of animal feed: Industrial feed businesses are losing productivity due to physical separation and the need for extra personal protective equipment. Labor shortage and a reduction in the availability of raw materials and other ingredients were the results of movement constraints and sickness. Transhumance is often hampered by movement limits, which makes it difficult for pastoralists to feed their animals and causes more delays in feed delivery (FAO, 2020c; FAO & WHO, 2020). Feeding of cattle takes some months to reach a satisfactory level of nutrition. The predicted loss in the feedlot sector indicates the lower valuation of animals put in feedlots before COVID-19 took effect. Reduction of inputs and other services: Farmers' access to breeding materials and replacement stocks (e.g. semen, day-old chicks, heifers, piglet), as well as milking machines and breeding materials (FAO, 2020d; Barrett, 2020; CDC, 2019), is being hampered by movement constraints and obstruction of national and foreign trade routes. Limited access to markets Small-scale farmers are unable to export their animals due to the closure of live animal markets in many countries. Sales and rates are being lowered as a result of disruption of the logistics channel and a decrease in demand. Farmers are forced to hold their animals longer or destroy milk due to insufficient access to markets and slaughterhouses/processing plants, resulting in higher costs of production or significant losses. Storage and conservation problems: Some collectors and processors are being forced to stock up due to transportation delays and improvements in retailing and usage patterns (Mishra et al., 2021). Constrained in businesses activities: In developed countries, most of the meat and dairy production is done informally (i.e. up to 90 percent of volume). These companies are disrupted by COVID-19 prevention and response. Small-scale manufacturers, who also lack the capacity to export to organized markets, lose an outlet as a result of this instability (Gray, 2020). Workforce from human activities: It is generally assumed that agricultural industries, such as meat and dairy production, are highly labor-intensive. Obstacles in national transport: Transport is being hampered by movement limits, which is reducing the availability of cattle and livestock goods. Tight road traffic restrictions hindered milk production and transport, resulting in milk dumping and discarding (Mtimet et al., 2021). Food security and global economy: The instability in the livestock supply chain, as well as the resulting imbalances between supply and demand, have had a significant effect on the livestock sector's economies. However, it is too early to draw a true picture of the severity of the economic downturn that would impact the livestock industry's bottom line (Laborde et al., 2020). Early forecasts indicate that the economic imbalance in the livestock sector will be long-term and will last until 2021.
