Question on: JSS1 Agricultural science - Different Types of Livestock

 Breeding practices in livestock farming involve intentional mating to enhance desirable traits. Methods include:

  - Artificial Insemination: Farmers use semen from selected male animals to impregnate females, allowing controlled breeding for specific traits without direct mating.

  - Selective Breeding: Breeders choose animals with desired traits for mating, ensuring the passing on of beneficial characteristics to offspring.

  - Genetic Engineering: Involves modifying an animal's DNA to introduce or enhance specific traits. While not as widespread as other methods, genetic engineering holds potential for precise trait manipulation.
