Efforts that can be made to improve the performance of native chickens are by crossing them with Bangkok chickens. The results of crosses between Kampung chickens and Bangkok chickens are expected to pass down good growth genes.

Estimates of crossbreeding parameters in a multibreed beef cattle crossbreeding project
Data from purebred and crossbred cattle, consisting of the Afrikaner (A), Simmentaler (S) and Hereford (H) breeds managed in a relatively intensive but high stocking rate environment, were analysed to estimate breed direct effects, individual heterotic effects, breed maternal and maternal heterotic effects for birth weight (BW) and weaning weight (WW).

Genetic evaluation for three-way crossbreeding [PDF]
Commercial pig producers generally use a terminal crossbreeding system with three breeds. Many pig breeding organisations have started to use genomic selection for which genetic evaluation is often done by applying single-step methods for which the pedigree-based additive genetic relationship matrix is replaced by a combined relationship matrix based ...

Crossbreeding of Yeasts Domesticated for Fermentation: Infertility Challenges
Sexual reproduction is almost a universal feature of eukaryotic organisms, which allows the reproduction of new organisms by combining the genetic information from two individuals of different sexes.

Influence of inbreeding and crossbreeding on the in vitro embryo development during normal and heat stress condition [PDF]
Inbreeding and Heat stress have negative effects on reproductive performance of dairy cattle. Two suggested strategies to overcome to these factors are to use crossbreeding and crossbreeding with thermo tolerant genotype, respectively.

Cattle crossbreeding for sustainable milk production in the tropics
Crossbreeding has been used to improve milk production performance of local cattle in the tropics. Crossbreeding exploits additive and non-additive allele gene effects leading to improvements in lactation length, decrease in calving interval, higher milk

In pig and poultry breeding programs, animals from genetically distinct purebred breeding lines are mated to produce crossbred animals, which provide food products to consumers. Although the aim of such breeding programs is to improve the performance of the crossbreds, selection takes place in the purebred lines, and is usually based on purebred ...
