Crossbreeding is commonly used for improving cattle breeds. It is done between indigenous and exotic breeds for variety improvement. The desired characteristics from both breeds are taken to produce a new improved variety. Exotic breed such as Jersey has long lactation periods, while local breeds such as Red Sindhi are very resistant to diseases. The two are cross-breed to get a calf with both the desired qualities.
