Document Summary

Females lay hundreds of eggs, can split and fertilize by many different males. Other breeding program aspects - what is unique about the species we are breeding. ~ the biology can change all the different aspects. Fish = external fertilization, multi way crosses to explore different aspects of selection. What would differ for an insect breeding program? (companion animal) Selection goals maybe different, maybe making for food. ~ how does environment come into play for this species. ~ day length (birds influenced by day light, constant day light so chickens lay eggs at same time) ~ families of 5 and 10 thousand individuals, inbreeding not as much of a concern. ~ not worried about loosing a few, disease is likely the issue in these spp. ~ may be different or may be able to make different for the species. Bull dogs, munchkin kitten, german shepard (famous for shepard crouch)
