tenyésztését

Tenyésztés is Hungarian for breeding. The form tenyésztését is the definite possessive inflection used to refer to the breeding of a specific subject, typically functioning as a definite object in a sentence. The term covers intentional propagation of plants or animals to amplify desirable traits.

Breeding operates in two broad domains: állattenyésztés (animal breeding) and növénytenyésztés (plant breeding). In animal breeding, goals include higher yield, improved fertility, growth rate, and temperament; methods include controlled mating, record-keeping, performance testing, artificial insemination, and sometimes embryo transfer.

Plant breeding aims to increase crop yield, quality, disease resistance, and adaptation to environmental conditions. Practices include selection from existing varieties, hybridization between lines, mutation breeding, and the use of molecular markers and genomic selection to accelerate progress.

Breeding programs have a long history and evolved with genetics, statistics, and biotechnology. They raise ethical and ecological considerations, such as maintaining genetic diversity and animal welfare, and are subject to national and international regulation, plant variety rights, and standard breeding guidelines.

In Hungarian, tenyésztését is the definite possessive form of tenyésztés, used to refer to “its breeding” in a sentence. The concept of breeding itself encompasses the deliberate propagation of plants and animals to improve desirable traits.
