| 3 | Mating is between same species. |

Advantage of inbreeding
It increases homozygosity so is used for developing pure lines.
Disadvantage of inbreeding
It causes inbreeding depression, due to that decline in survival and reproduction occur.
Advantage of out breeding
It produces hybrids with desirable characters like better lactation period and high milk productions.
Disadvantage of inbreeding
It causes outbreeding depression, that is decline in reproductive fitness,purelines are aslo created in outbreeding.
