The choice of local breed depends upon availability in a particular region. Preferably, only the non-descript local animals and very lowly productive animals of recognized breeds should be used for crossbreeding. The destruction of valuable indigenous breeds with unique adaptability characters for those particular agro-climatic conditions should be avoided. Indigenous animals should be properly characterized prior to initiating crossbreeding to identify breeds with particularly valuable characteristics. The exotic animals used in crossbreeding are not naturally adapted to the SAP conditions, so large scale crossbreeding in these countries should be carried out with caution.

It is really encouraging to learn that sheep and goats being the victims of a long neglect have attracted the attention of experienced animal scientists and teachers of long standing to write a book on them.

A collection of over 650 questions along with their answers should more than suffice to cover the discussion on important topics in relation to sheep and goat production.
