Artificial Selection can be defined as the process by which we breed the characters that is desired in order to get the progeny with desired characters.

Animal husbandry is related to the breeding of animals having desired characters. Example: The tall male is mated with female having high content of protein in the milk, will produce a progeny having tall height and high content of protein in milk.
