Crossbreeding

Term Definition
Crossbreeding
Mating parents of two different breeds. Crossbreeding allows producers to take advantage of complementarity and heterosis. In other words, they can tailor their breeding program for the ideal cross of two breeds (complementarity) and gain a burst of production (due to heterosis).
