Ep251 - Every Method has a Particular Function and Purpose

There are several breeding methods available to breeders for
creating a strain. Each method serves a specific function and
purpose. Understanding when and how to apply these methods
significantly contributes to a breeder's success in establishing
a true strain.


However, many breeders are hesitant to practice inbreeding due to
concerns about inbreeding depression. Instead, they often resort
to outcrossing, believing it to be a universal solution.


In this episode, we explore these breeding methods in depth,
examining their respective forms and functions. Today, we
challenge you to reconsider traditional breeding practices and
their enduring impacts. Continual reliance on outcrossing risks
disrupting the gene pool, thereby threatening the preservation of
breeds and bloodlines.


Join us for a discussion on this contentious yet crucial
topic.
