In animal breeding programs where purebred lines are maintained, naming of the succeeding generations is simple - they are always purebred. However, where crossbreeding is a part of the system, naming the generations that comprise different proportions of genes from each original purebred can become quite complex. This Farmnote describes the standard naming system for crosses and hybrids and, provides a glossary of terms likely to be used in animal breeding information in Western Australia.
