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.
