Breeding Programmes

Breeding programmes are organized efforts to improve plants, animals, or microorganisms by selecting and mating individuals with desirable traits. The goal is to develop new varieties or breeds that perform better in aspects like yield, disease resistance, or adaptability. These programmes carefully plan pairings, monitor offspring, and often incorporate scientific methods to ensure desired traits are inherited. They are essential for agriculture, livestock, and conservation, helping us produce more productive, resilient, and sustainable biological resources.
