Pure Breeding or “Breed True”
-means that specimens of a
breed will breed true-to-type
when mated like-to-like-
-the progeny of any two
individuals in the same breed
will show consistent, replicable
and predictable characteristics
-usually necessary for goat
registration and pedigree
tracing

In Breeding, Line Breeding and Outcrossing
- 1. Close Family Inbreeding
- breeding parent-offspring, full-sib mating
2. Line breeding
-breeding half-sib mating, grandparent-grand offspring mating, cousin-to-
cousin mating, etc.
3. Outcrossing
-mating of two completely unrelated animals who share no common
ancestors within four to six generations

Uses of Inbreeding
-
1. To concentrate desirable traits to offspring
2. To remove undesirable genes from the herd thru culling
3. Parents from champion line will likely to produce offspring that are also
champions

Disadvantages of Inbreeding
-
1. Costly, why?
2. Inbreeding depression- loss of vigor and vitality in the offspring
3. Abnormalities and negative recessive traits will show in the offspring

Cross Breeding
-mating of two different breeds
-produces hybrid vigor or heterosis
-use to combine desirable traits from both parents
-use to produce new breed
