Abstract
The Sheko cattle breed has a promising potential to form the genetic backbone to cope with new
tropical diseases, unpredictable future climate changes and food insecurity in Ethiopia. Despite its
recognised trypanotolerance and adaptation to environmental stressors, the breed currently faces
clear risk of extinction. In order to support the establishment of cost-efficient conservation plans,
this study aimed at assessing farmers’ willingness to conserve the Sheko breed in its natural breeding
tract of Benchi Maji zone, Ethiopia. Choice experiments were employed on 400 cattle keepers to
assess their preferences for important cattle attributes. Preferences for cattle attributes are used as
indicators for farmers’ willingness to conserve the local Sheko cattle breed. The study revealed that
farmers’ generally preferred cattle breeds with a high trypanotolerance, low feed requirements and
aggressiveness, and high milk yield. However, preferences for cattle attributes differed according to
agro-ecological zone (AEZ). Farmers in the midland AEZ were willing to pay 603 Birr (21.60 e) for
a cow with a high milk yield. On the contrary, their counterparts in the lowland AEZ were willing
to pay 2.3 and 1.9 times more for a cow with low feed requirements and high trypanotolerance
than farmers in the midland AEZ. This suggests that farmers, in particular in lowland AEZ, valued
adaptation traits more than a high milk performance. Furthermore, farmers who were born in the
Sheko community were more likely to prefer aggressive cattle, while a longer experience in keeping
the Sheko cattle breed increased the probability that farmers preferred cows with a high milk yield.
Similarly, a positive interaction was found between satisfaction with the veterinary service and a
high milk yield, as well as high feed requirements and trypanotolerance. Consequently, conservation
programs for the Sheko cattle breed in Benchi Maji zone of Ethiopia will imply compensation
payments of the farmers due to the high feed requirements and aggressiveness of this breed. It is
recommended to implement conservation strategies in the midland AEZ by involving farmers who
originate from the Sheko community or have experience in keeping Sheko cattle, and to improve
veterinary services to reduce compensation costs.
