Cross Breeding - the mating of individuals with different breed make-up -widely used in commercial beef production systems -improvements in production efficiency can be dramatic -does not eliminate the need for purebreds Heterosis - the average superiority of a crossbred individual over the average of breeds involved n the cross -arises from combining genes from different breeds so inferior recessive genes are concealed -offspring may be better than either paternal breed or better than av...
