commercial breeding

Commercial breeding refers to the practice of breeding animals primarily to produce offspring for profit, often for specific traits such as appearance, size, or productivity. This method involves selectively choosing parent animals to enhance desired characteristics, aiming to meet market demands or gain competitive advantages. It is common in industries like livestock, dogs, and cats. While it can improve certain traits, commercial breeding raises concerns about animal welfare, genetic diversity, and ethical practices, especially when profit is prioritized over the animals’ well-being.
