TL;DR
There are now many reports of the magnitude of genetic correlation between environments for characters of economic importance in cattle, sheep, pigs and particularly poultry and the correlations do not deviate so far from I as was perhaps originally suspected.

Formulation of the genotype-environment interaction in terms of a genetic correlation leads easily to a solution of problems connected with selection and a precise answer can be given to the question whether it is better to carry out selection in the environment in which the improved breed is required eventually to live, or in some other environment more favorable to the expression of the desired character.
