Designing and implementation of community-based breeding programs for adapted local sheep breeds in Ethiopia
Presented by Haile A., Duguma G., Mirkena T., Tibbo M., Iñiguez L., Rischkowsky B., Okeyo M., Wurzinger M. and Sölkner J. for the 5th All Africa Conference on Animal
Agriculture and the 18th Annual Meeting of the Ethiopian Society of Animal Production (ESAP), Addis Ababa, October 25-28, 2010

Community based breeding
• Genetic improvement of
livestock remains a
challenge
• Centralized within-breed
selection and
crossbreeding programs
have failed
• New thinking – involving
local communities and
institutions in the design,
implementation and
ownership of breeding
strategies

Goals
Improved productivity and income of sheep owners by providing access to improved animals that respond to improved feeding and management, targeting specific market opportunities

How did we start?
• Planning workshop
• Criteria for community selection
• Project team structure
• Official launching and announcement of the
project at district level

Definition of breeding goals
A. Own-flock ranking based on farmer’s choice
![Page 11: Designing and implementation of community-based breeding programs for adapted local sheep breeds in Ethiopia](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/55664053d8b42a3b398b48c4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
B. Ranking of groups of live animals

Brown Black
C. Hypothetical choice experiment

Workshop to study community breeding practices
• Current animal management practices
• Envisaged animal management practices
• Social network analysis
![Page 14: Designing and implementation of community-based breeding programs for adapted local sheep breeds in Ethiopia](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/55664053d8b42a3b398b48c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Modeling alternative breeding plans
• ZPLAN (18 alternatives produced)
• Four alternatives were presented
– Varied based on the proportion of rams
selected (10 and 15%) and length of
use of rams (2 and 3 years)
• Color and tail type were preferred and
considered
• Three traits for each breed were identified
![Page 15: Designing and implementation of community-based breeding programs for adapted local sheep breeds in Ethiopia](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/55664053d8b42a3b398b48c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Workshop with community to choose among the alternatives
• Present the alternatives
• Decide on selection
approaches
• Discuss ram exchange
schemes
• Discuss recording
options

Implementation of the preferred option
• Animal identification
• Recruitment of data recording personnel
• Development of data recording format
• Data collection
• Selection of breeding rams
• Animal show and award
• Purchase of selected ram lambs by way of
availing revolving fund- Revert negative
selection

Outputs/impacts
• Functional breeding programs
• Awareness creation
• Health and feed interventions
• Market linkages
• Publications
• Graduate students
• Capacity building at different levels

General conclusions
• Community involvement is crucial for success
• Researcher’s should act as catalysts and facilitators
providing options to farmers to make decisions
based on scientific evidence
• For implementation it is essential to have all
stakeholders involved right from the start: this
increases commitment and therefore efficiency and
sustainability
• Match interventions to production system
• Genetic improvement need to be supported by other
interventions
