Kepahiang Regency which pepper was cultivated. In 2009 1,962 tons were harvested. Plantations by larger corporations that might exist are not included. The climate in Kepahiang is suitable for breeding various kinds of land animals and fish. Species that are currently bred in Kepahiang are goldfish, tilapia, cichlids and barbels. Pisciculture is still operated on a small scale level by locals. Therefore, the potential remains largely untapped. Besides pisciculture, diary and slaughter cattles, goats, ducks and chicken are bred in Kepahiang as well. The livestock and fish farming is being funded under the program IKUTT serving as an additional source of income
Selective breeding in contrast to the notion of breed purity. However, on the other hand, indiscriminate breeding of crossbred or hybrid animals may also result in degradation of quality. Studies in evolutionary physiology, behavioral genetics, and other areas of organismal biology have also made use of deliberate selective breeding, though longer generation times and greater difficulty in breeding can make such projects challenging in vertebrates. Plant breeding has been used for thousands of years, and began with the domestication of wild plants into uniform and predictable agricultural cultigens. High-yielding varieties have been particularly important in agriculture. Selective plant breeding is also used
