Question

Why is the crossbreeding of sheep necessary in India? name three exotic breeds with which crossbreeding is done in our country.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The quality and quantity of wool depends on the type of sheep. Native sheep do not yield good wool. Therefore they are crossed with exotic breeds to produce good wool.

As indigenous carpet wool breeds (Chokla, Nali, Bikaneri, Marwari, Jaisalmari, Malpura, Sonadi, Deccani, Patanwadi and Bellary) have been crossed with exotic fine wool breeds improvement in wool quality and quantity was observed.
