Tridge summary

Argentina's livestock industry is facing critical months due to a severe drought that has affected approximately a third of the national stock, putting over half of the national stock at risk. The drought, which has already caused deaths and decreased fertility in cows, has been worsened by high temperatures and expanding rainfall areas, now affecting a large part of several provinces.
