Abreeding program is the plannedbreeding of a group ofanimals orplants, usually involving at least several individuals and extending over severalgenerations. There are a couple of breeding methods, such as artificial (which is man made) and natural (it occurs on its own).

According to theDutch State Secretary ofEconomic Affairs the delivery of young animals is important for the natural behavior of the mother, the herd and is desirable from a veterinary perspective.^[1]

Breeding programs are commonly employed in several fields where humans wish to change the characteristics of their animals' offspring through careful selection of breeding partners:

Dog andcat fanciers may coordinate a breeding program to raise the probability of an animal's litter producing a championship-caliber animal.
Horse breeders try to produce fastracehorses through breeding programs.
Conservationists use breeding programs to try to help the recovery ofendangered species by preserving the existinggene pool and preventinginbreeding.
There also can be breeding programs for plants. For instance, a winery owner, seeking to find a better tasting wine, could design a breeding program so that only the vines whose grapes make the very best wine are allowed to breed.
