Question
Which method is commonly used for improving cattle breeds and why?
Answer
The method commonly used is Cross-breeding.
Why:
It is used to combine the good qualities of two different breeds into one.
Foreign breeds (like Jersey) are selected for long lactation periods (milk production).
Local breeds (like Red Sindhi) are selected for resistance to diseases.
Crossing them results in an animal that has both high milk production and disease resistance.
