Class Definition

Breeding is the deliberate selection and directed mating of animals in a breeding population with the intention of producing offspring that, on average, are closer in their characteristics to a defined breeding objective than the parent generation.

(Original source: Züchten ist die gezielte Selektion und gerichtete Paarung von Tieren einer Zcuhtpopulation mit der Absicht Nachkommen zu erzeugen, die im Durchschnitt in ihren Eigenschaften einem definierten Zuchtziel näher sind als die Elterngeneration.)
