Crossbreeding locally adapted hair sheep to improve productivity and meat quality

Scientia Agricola, 2018
The use of lambs from crossing of local with specialized sheep breeds for meat production may lead to higher meat deposition and a smaller fat amount in the carcass, with a more adequate nutritional profile for human consumption.

Crossbreeding in Random Forest

, 2021
Ensemble learning methods are designed to benefit from multiple learning algorithms for better predictive performance. The tradeoff of this improved performance is slower speed and larger size of ensemble learning systems compared to single learning systems.
