Explanation

Outbreeding refers to the mating of unrelated animals belonging to (i) Individuals of the same breed but having no common ancestors (ii) Individuals of the different breeds (cross breeding) (iii) Individuals of different species (inter-specific hybridization) Thus, outbreeding may be divided into three different types on the basis of the individual selected for mating. These are outcrossing, crossbreeding, interspecific hybridization and controlled breeding using artificial insemination
