Question

Which Method Is Commonly Used For Improving Cattle Breeds And Why?

Answer 1

Cross-breeding:

1. Cross breeding is defined as producing offspring by mating two purebred individuals from various breeds, variations, or species.
2. The method of cross-breeding is widely used to improve cattle breeds.
3. Cross-breeding two good cattle varieties will lead to a new, improved variety.
4. MOET (Multiple Ovulation Embryo Transfer Technology) procedures have been effectively used to enhance herd numbers in a short period of time by obtaining high-milk-yielding female species and high-quality meat-yielding bulls.
5. In addition, careless cross-breeding may result in lower-quality animals and weaken the purebred gene pool.
