Outbranding

Outbreeding is the crossing of individuals from unrelated lines.

This is one of the main methods of selection in animal husbandry and crop production. The goal of outbringing is to obtain offspring with new valuable qualities and avoid inbreeding (crossing closely related individuals).

When outbringing, individuals from different breeds or varieties are used for breeding. This allows the offspring to combine the best qualities of both parental forms. For example, crossing a highly productive but disease-resistant breed of cow with a hardy but less productive breed. As a result, you can get a breed with high productivity and stability.

However, with outbringing, the effect of heterosis is also possible, when hybrid offspring are superior to the parental forms. Such hybrids are often used in industrial animal husbandry and crop production.

Thus, outbringing is an effective selection method that allows you to expand the genetic diversity of breeds and varieties and improve their qualities. With the correct selection of parental pairs, you can get highly productive and stable offspring.
