Livestock production plays an important role in Ethiopian economy. However, climaternchange presents a range of challenges for animal in the country. The adoption of climaternsmart livestock production practices is considered to be an innovative solution to thernchallenges. This study is aimed to identify the status of adoption and analyze the determiningrnfactors and challenges in adopting Climate Smart livestock production practices in HidaburnAbote Woreda, Centeral Ethiopia. Three-staged sampling techniques were used to select therntargeted area and sample household respondents. A total of 233 sampled households werernselected using simple random sampling method and household survey was conduct with pretested structured questionnaire. Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussionsrnwere also conducted to complement the study. Various descriptive and inferential statisticrntechniques were applied to analyze the collected survey data. Ordered logistic regressionrnmodel was also used to analyze the determinant factors which affect the adoption status ofrnthe sampled household. Descriptive result shows that commonly adopted practices arerncomposting (85.41%) and manure management (70.39%) while the least adoptedrntechnologies were bio-gas generation (3.86%) and rotational grazing (22.32%).The adoptionrnstatus of the sampled household were also categorized into low (19.74%), medium (67.81%)rnand high adopter (12.45%).High cost of improved breed, use of manure for fuel, free grazingrnand lack of information and awareness are the major constraints to adopt technology. Thernresult of ordered logistic regression revealed that education, grazing land, total livestockrnholding and extension contact contributed significantly and positively to adoption status,rnwhile distance from water source had a significant and negative effect adoption status ofrnclimate smart livestock production practices. From the result, it is possible to conclude thatrnlivestock farmers having more grazing land, higher educational level, more livestock holdingrnand good extension contact are more likely to adopt climate smart livestock productionrnpractice whose water source are far from their home are less likely to adopt climate smartrnlivestock production practices in the study area. The policy measures derived from the resultsrninclude: livestock raring should get more attention, increasing the frequency of extensionrncontact, improving grazing land practices, expanding education, and providing sufficientrnwater supply for the farmers to improve the adoption status of climate smart livestockrnproduction practices.
