• Crossbreeding. This is the mating of animals of different breeds. They can be two or more. For any crossbreeding system to be effective, the breeds chosen must be considered carefully. Each breed chosen must bring some favorable attributes to the mix.
• Random breeding. This is the mating of males and females randomly. There are no performance records or genetic predictions required in this type of mating.
• Inbreeding. This is the mating together of individuals or animals that are more closely related.
