Breed

Mofuta ke setlhopha se se rileng sa diphologolo tsa mo gae tse di nang le ponalo e e tshwanang (phenotype), boitshwaro jo bo tshwanang, le/kgotsa mekgwa e mengwe e e e farologanyang le ditshedi tse dingwe tsa mofuta o o tshwanang. Mo dibukeng, go na le ditlhaloso di le mmalwa tse di fapogang go sekae. Hall, S. J. G.; Bradley, D. G. (1995). "Conserving livestock breed biodiversity". Trends in Ecology & Evolution. 10 (7): 267–70. doi:10.1016/0169-5347(95)90005-5. PMID 21237034. Mefuta e e farologaneng e bopiwa ka go itlhaola ga dijini le go tlwaela tikologo ka tsela ya tlholego kgotsa go ikatisa ka tsela e e tlhophilweng, kgotsa ka go kopanya dilo tseno ka bobedi. Le fa kgopolo ya "ditso" e le botlhokwa thata mo temothuong le mo temothuong, ga go na tlhaloso e le nngwe e e amogelwang ke saense ya lefoko leno.Rischkowsky, Barbara; Pilling, Dafydd, eds. (2007).

Kgopolo e nngwe ke gore mofuta o o tshwanang o lekana go ka phuthiwa mmogo ka tsela e e utlwalang mme fa o tsadisitswe mo setlhopheng o ntsha mofuta o o tshwanang. lutton-Brock, Juliet. 1987 A Natural History of Domesticated Mammals, Cambridge University Press and the Museum of Natural History, page 40. Fa di tsadisitswe mmogo, batho ba mofuta o le mongwe ba fetisetsa mekgwa eno e e bonalang mo baneng ba bone, mme bokgoni jono - jo bo itsegeng e le "go tsadisa" - ke selo se se tlhokegang mo lotsong. Mefuta ya dimela e itsege thata e le mefuta e e farologaneng ya dimela. Bana ba ba tlhagisiwang fa go tsadisitswe diphologolo tsa mofuta mongwe le diphologolo tse dingwe tsa mofuta o mongwe ba bidiwa mefuta e e tswakaneng. Go tsalana ga diphologolo kgotsa dimela tse di farologaneng go feta tsa mofuta/mofuta wa dijalo (ke gore magareng ga mefuta, mefuta-potlana, mefutafuta ya dimela, le e leng mefuta e e farologaneng) go bidiwa metswako.Banga, Surinder S.

 Go ikatisa: go tlhophiwa ke barui 
Molemisi (kgotsa setlhopha sa balemisi) yo kwa tshimologong a tlhomang mofuta o o rileng o dira jalo ka go tlhopha diphologolo tse di rileng go tswa mo teng ga setlhopha sa dijini tse ba di bonang di na le dinonofo tse di tlhokegang go tokafatsa mofuta wa mofuta o ba o batlang. Diphologolo tseno di bidiwa di-foundation stock. Mo godimo ga moo, motho yo o tsadisang mofuta ono o o tsadisa le baemedi ba mofuta ono ba a ba lebang ba le botlhokwa thata, ka boikaelelo jwa go fetisetsa dinonofo tseno mo baneng ba bone. Mokgwa ono o bidiwa go ikatisa ka tsela e e kgethegileng. Tlhaloso e e kwadilweng ya baemedi ba ba eletsegang le ba ba sa eletsegeng ba mofuta ono e bidiwa gore ke maemo a mofuta ono.

 Dinonofo tsa mofuta ono 
Dinonofo tse di tlhomologileng tsa lotso, tse gape di itsegeng e le mekgwa ya lotso, di a gogiwa, mme diphologolo tsa mofuta o o itshekileng di fetisa mekgwa e e ntseng jalo go tswa kokomaneng e nngwe go ya go e nngwe. Ka jalo, ditshedi tsotlhe tsa mofuta o o tshwanang di na le dikarolo di le mmalwa tsa dijini tsa phologolo ya ntlhantlha ya motheo. E le go boloka mofuta ono, motho yo o o jalang o tlhopha diphologolo tse di nang le dinonofo tse di eletsegang thata gore a kgone go di boloka le go di tokafatsa. Ka nako e e tshwanang, mofuta ono wa diphologolo o tla tila diphologolo tse di nang le mekgwa e e sa siamang kgotsa e e sa tlwaelegang mo lotsong lono, go akaretsa diphoso kgotsa bogole jwa dijini. Palo ya diphologolo tse di mo lotsong lo lo tshwanang e tshwanetse go nna le palo e e lekaneng ya diphologolo go tshola lotso lo le mo maemong a a tlhalositsweng ntle le gore go nne le tlhokego ya go tsadisa ka go pateletsa.

Mefuta ya diphologolo tse di ruilweng gantsi e farologana go ya ka dinaga le go ya ka ditšhaba. Mefuta e e tlholegang kwa nageng e e rileng e bidiwa "mefuta ya tlholego" ya naga eo.
