Tenyésztésre

Tenyésztésre is a Hungarian linguistic form built from the noun tenyésztés, meaning breeding. The suffix -re/-ra indicates purpose or intended use, so tenyésztésre translates roughly as “for breeding” or “for use in breeding.” It is commonly found in technical, agricultural, and regulatory texts to specify the intended function of a stock, plant, facility, or program.

Tenyésztés itself refers to the practice of selective reproduction or propagation to improve or preserve desirable traits in animals or plants. It encompasses animal breeding (állattenyésztés) and plant breeding (növénytenyésztés) and aims to enhance productivity, quality, disease resistance, or other characteristics, as well as to maintain or expand genetic diversity and breed standards. The concept also covers conservation efforts for endangered breeds and varieties.

Practices in tenyésztésre contexts include selection of breeding stock, planned mating, and meticulous record-keeping of pedigrees and performance. In plant breeding, it involves crossing, selection across generations, and seed production for release to growers. Modern breeding programs increasingly use technologies such as genomic selection, marker-assisted selection, controlled pollination, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer to accelerate improvement while managing welfare and genetic diversity.

Regulatory and ethical considerations accompany tenyésztésre applications. This includes animal welfare standards, biosafety and environmental impact, as well as legal frameworks for plant variety rights, labeling, and traceability. The term tenyésztésre thus situates breeding activities within both practical objectives and regulatory contexts.
