Genetics

Mating one breed with a second breed to produce offspring that display a high degree of hybrid vigor but are destined to go to market

• terminal cross

• line breeding

• crossbreeding

Breeding a hybrid animal to another animal that has one or more ancestral breeds or lines in common

• Outbreeding
• Crossbreeding
• Backcrossing
• Interbreeding

Pedigree focused breed system that mates individuals that are closely related compared to the overall breed

• Inbreeding
• Crossbreeding
• Outbreeding
• Selective breeding

Mating of animals that are less alike in performance traits than the average of the herd and is used to correct genetic deficiencies. (Heavy muscled to small muscled)

• disassortative mating

• Inbreeding
• Outbreeding
• Selective breeding

Many breeds used at the same time but separated into groups

• Rotational Cross

• inbreeding

• line breeding

Version of inbreeding used for breeding animals with the same genetic line (family tree) but are not closely related

• Linebreeding
• Family mating
• Genetic inbreeding

Breeding method where paired animals are more alike in performance traits than the average of the herd or group

• assortative breeding

• Indiscriminate breeding
• Random breeding

Breed formed using two or more established breeds in exact percentages that vary based on the goals of the breed

• Hybrid breed
• Mixed breed
• Compostie Breed

Homozygous animals inherit the same alleles for a particular gene, like hair coat, from both parents .
