Abstract

The use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) is specifically recommended by FAO for livestock breeds classified as “endangered” or “vulnerable” concerning extinction risk. However, the success of conservation strategies implying ART depends on their acceptance among breeders. The present research explores farmers’ acceptability of ART for conserving the Varzese-Ottonese-Tortonese (VOT) cattle. Data have been collected through in-depth interviews with the cattle breeders members of the VOT Association. Results from this study are especially important considering the limited adoption and diffusion of ART among endangered livestock farmers and give a hint to support breeders in developing more economically sustainable conservation strategies.
