This article is about the technique used in animal and plant breeding. For naturally occurring outcrossing, see Allogamy.
Out-crossing or out-breeding is the technique of crossing between different breeds. This is the practice of introducing distantly related genetic material into a breeding line, thereby increasing genetic diversity.
