Abstract

Limited animal production undersupplies animalsourced foods to populations in tropical regions while improving local productivity promotes food security and livelihoods. Strategically exploring traits of interest from distinct genetic groups is a valuable tool to promote the sustainability of livestock systems. Genetic improvement of animals requires wellstructured programs to avoid the opposite effect. When developing these programs, a broad approach should be considered that ideally accommodates the local necessities and conditions where they are being implemented.
