Livestock breeding refers to the process of selectively mating animals, such as cows, pigs, or chickens, to improve their characteristics or to produce offspring with desirable traits. It involves careful selection and mating of animals to enhance qualities like size, growth rate, milk production, meat quality, or disease resistance. This practice is done by farmers and breeders to ensure healthier and more productive animals for farming or for the production of meat, milk, eggs, or other animal products.
