open nucleus breeding scheme

Also found in: Acronyms

0.01 sec.

a method of selecting and using breeding animals, consisting of a small number of elite breeding animals in a nucleus, or upper tier, and a large number of animals in a lower tier. In contrast to closed nucleus schemes, more flexible programs permit animals from the lower tiers to contribute progeny to the upper tiers.

A popular variation on this system is the group breeding scheme.
