  16. Trait preference by farmers of major breed types • Size/shape • Colour • Horns • Heat/cold tolerance • Temperament • Work rate/draft power • Ability to walk long distances • Milk yield • Meat • Growth rate • Fertility • Longevity • Disease tolerance/resistance • Drought tolerance Not important Poor Average Good No opinion

  19. Production versus adaptation traits

  20. Production characteristics Reproduction • Age at sexual maturity • Age ate first parturition • Calving interval Production • Marketable age of young stock • Milk production • Lactation length

  23. Milk production a Mean ± Standard deviation b Average milk production for all breed types

  24. Lactation length a Mean ± Standard deviation b Average milk production for all breed types

  25. Conclusions • Most households reported owning pure breeds than cross breeds • In most households breed type was unknown • In most households one pure or cross breed type was found • Guji, HF-crosses, and Arsi breeds can be classified as Midland/highland breed types. Doba, Borana, and Anniya can be classified as lowland breed types • Farmers reported HF-crosses to be poorly adapted to the environment; Arsi to be less productive than other breeds; and Guji to be both less adapted and less productive than other breeds
