Second tool for genetic change
Mating/Breeding System
a process that
determines which selected males are bred to which
selected females
Mating/Breeding System
this is when you choose the group of animals you
want to be parents
selection
In this, you match the males
and females from the selected group.
Mating
What are the reasons for using mating systems
- Produce offspring with extreme
breeding values in order to increase
genetic change - Make use of complementarity
- Obtain hybrid vigor or heterosis
is the mating of related animals that results to an increased homozygosity of gene pairs compared to non- inbred animals in the same population
Inbreeding
in this type of animal breeding, the animals being mated are very closely related and can be traced back to
more than one common ancestor
Intensive Inbreeding/ Close Breeding-
matings of animals that are more
distantly related and can be traced back to one
common ancestor
Linebreeding
mating of animals not as closely
related as the average of the population
Outbreeding
Crossing of animals of
different species
Species-cross
example of species-cross
horsexdonkey= mule
mating of animals of
different established breeds.
Crossbreeding-
example of crossbreeding
hampshire X berkshire
mating of animals of
different families within the same breed
outcrossing
mating of purebred
sires to commercial grade females and their
female offspring for several generations
Grading up
Is any animal not eligible for registry
Grading Up
this is crossing of 2 or more
inbred lines or strains (families within a breed)
Line or strain cross
involves mating a selected
number of males to a group of females within a herd or flock
Random Mating
where does the word oestrus cycle derived from
Latin
where does the word oestrus cycle originally came from
Greek
it comprises the recurring physiologic changes that are induced by reproductive hormones in most mammalian placental females
estrous cycle
what starts after puberty in sexually mature females?
oestrus cycle
this is interrupted by anestrous phases or pregnancies
estrous cycle
typically estrous cycle continue until_____
death
this may display bloody vaginal discharge
estrous cycle
this is often mistake for menstruation
oestrus cycle
What are the two types of inbreeding
Intensive Breeding/ Close Breeding and Linebreeding
This is what you will use when you want to improve animals
Breeding system
these are traits that compliment each other
complementarity trait
What are the different types of outbreeding
Species-cross
Crossbreeding
Outcrossing
Grading Up
Line or strain cross
Random Mating
This is the most common that we’re doing in farm
Cross breeding
the one we produce should be 50% of the other breed and another 50% for other breed
Crossbreeding
most commonly employed breeding system in animals
Outcrossing
they are the same breed but not related
outcrossing
absence of estrous
anestrous
estrous cycle is all about ______
hormones
this is displayed during the estrous cycle
bloody vaginal discharge
they control our emotions, behavior and actions
hormones
what are the two gonadotropin-releasing hormone
Follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone
this hormone stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicle in females and supports sperm production in males
FSH
this hormone triggers ovulation and the formation of corpus luteum in females and stimulates testosterone production in males
LH
this hormone when rising or increases makes a woman feel more flirtatious (paglalandi)
estrogen
this is the hormone that when it increases or rises, it will signal the estrogen to go down
progesterone
this hormone maintains pregnancy
progesterone
