“…In many countries, the usefulness of Zackel sheep was repeatedly improved through cross-breeding with other more noble breeds [31,32]. In the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, several attempts of improving Polish Zackel were undertaken.…”

The Silesian Beskids (Poland), the westernmost part of the Carpathian Mountains is an area with long pastoral tradition. For centuries sheep grazed in clearings located among forested ridges have been an integral part of the mountain landscape and pastoral customs have become essential elements of regional cultural heritage. In the chapter, the history and the current state of pastoralism in the Silesian Beskids are presented. The specific pastoral system developed in the region, based on annual migration of flocks between summer highland and winter lowland pastures is described. Local breeds and specific regional sheep products are depicted. Furthermore, the importance of pastoralism for the environment, landscape and plant biodiversity is analysed and efforts to recover sheep grazing in the mountains after a period of a deep recession caused by social and economic transitions connected with the collapse of the communist system are presented. The approach to restoration of pastoralism is illustrated using a case study of a pastoral centre which combines traditional sheep grazing with cheese production, education and several activities to promote pastoral tradition.

“…According to the results of European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) panel (2014) Tsigai breed is "selected for survival and production under local environmental circumstance" and it is "often multi-purpose traditional breed", while wool production is "seldom primary breed criteria". Although Tsigai sheep is an indigenous breed with rather low productivity there were some cases in which Tsigai sheep was successfully used to improve the traits of some other local sheep breeds, for example in Ukraine (Sedilo et al, 2016).…”

Tsigai is an indigenous sheep breed present in entire Central and SouthEast Europe. Due to its low meat and milk production number of Tsigai sheep is in a sharp decline. But, there is a strong need to preserve valuable genetic resources of this breed. Therefore, the goal of this research is to evaluate economic performance of Tsigai breeding and to define strategies for its future use. In the paper profitability of Tsigai breeding is determined as well as economic efficiency of investments in Tsigai farms (using Net Present Value and Internal Rate of Return). To perform the analysis in risky circumstances authors applied sensitivity and decision tree approach. The results indicated that breeding of Tsigai sheep requires state subsidies to be profitable and economically efficient. Decision tree approach resulted in calculation of expected NPV. Investments in Tsigai farms proved to be economically efficient, but associated with high level of risk.
