Continued inbreeding (mating between animals of same breed for 4-6 generations) reduces fertility and productivity of animals, also known as inbreeding depression. This could be the reason of reduced fertility and productivity in the herd of cattle. In this condition, the selected animal should be mated with superior animals of the same breed but unrelated to the breeding population, e.g., outcrossing. This helps is restoring fertility and yield.
