Artificial Insemination is the technique in which semen with living sperms is collected from the male and introduced into female reproductive tract at proper time with the help of instruments.

This has been found to result in a normal off-spring.

The correct answer is Cross breeding.

• Animal breeding is producing improved breeds of domesticated animals by improving their geno­types through selective mating.
• Objectives:

1. ​Improved growth rate.
2. Increased production of milk, meat, egg wool.
3. Improved resistance against various diseases.

• ​Methods of breeding:
• Cross breeding:
• Superior males of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed.
• It gives better breeds.
• Cows of an inferior breed may be mated to bulls of a superior breed to get better progeny.
• Hisardale is a new breed of sheep developed in Punjab by crossing Bikaneri ewes and Marino rams.

​Additional Information

1. Line breeding:

• Mating of animals which are more distantly related which can be traced back to one common ancestors.
• Examples: cousins grandparents to grand offspring, half brother to half sister.

2. Out breeding:

• It is the breeding between the unrelated animals which may be between individuals of the same breed (but having no common ancestors) or between different breeds.

3. ​Back crossing:

• It is the mating of a hybrid organism (offspring of genetically unlike parents) with one of its parents or with an organism genetically similar to the parent.
• It is often called a topcross.
• Grading usually refers to the mating of average, or “grade,” females to a superior male, then back crossing the female offspring to the same or a similar sire.

4. Out crossing:

• ​It is the mating of animals within the same breed but having no common ancestors on either side of their pedigree up to 4-6 generations.
• The offspring of such a cross is called as an out cross.
• Out crossing is the best breeding method for animals that are below average in productivity in milk production, growth rate in beef cattle.
• Sometimes only one out cross helps to overcome inbreeding depression.
