It is relevant that animals are evaluated in areas they are used for production since performance of genotypes may be different in different environments. suggested that animals be evaluated in the least environment likely to be faced by their progeny. reported that in commercial beef production, the important measure is to locate the genetic material which performs best under specific conditions of production system. However, the optimal level to which exotic germplasm should be introduced in indigenous cattle for effective adaptation and productivity should be clearly determined.
