Question

Which method is commonly used for increasing cattle breeds and why?

Answer 1

The cross-breeding method is commonly used for increasing cattle breeds.

Below are some reasons why we use cross-breeding for increasing cattle breeds:

1. The breed is the process of producing offspring by sexual reproduction.
2. Crossbreeding is the process of offspring production from mating two pure breed parents but coming from different breeds, species, or varieties.
3. The best process is crossbreeding indigenous breeds with exotic breeds.
4. Exotic or foreign breeds have a capacity for higher milk yield and longer lactation periods.
5. It can be done by both methods, natural as well as artificial.
