Genomic analyses provide insights into breed-of-origin effects from purebreds on three-way crossbred pigs [PDF]
Crossbreeding is widely used aimed at improving crossbred performance for poultry and livestock. Alleles that are specific to different purebreds will yield a large number of heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in crossbred individuals ...

Economic opportunities of using crossbreeding and sexing in Holstein dairy herds.
With the increasing availability of sexed semen, farms have the opportunity to select genetically superior dams to produce their replacement animals and to produce crossbred calves for beef production of higher economic value than the remainder of the ...
