Question
What is cross breeding? What advantages does it confer? Give one example.
✓
Answer
Cross breeding is the mating between animals of different breeds. It involves mating of superior males of one breed with superior females of another breed.
This method allows the desirable qualities of two different breeds to be combined. Thus the hybrid progeny will have the desirable traits of both the breeds. Example: Hisardale is a new breed of sheep developed by crossing Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams.
