The phrase "a consequence of breeding" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to discuss the results or effects that arise from the process of breeding, often in the context of animals or plants.
Example: "The increased size of the livestock is a consequence of breeding for specific traits over several generations."
Alternatives: "an outcome of breeding" or "a result of breeding".
Changes in the competitiveness of maize (Zea mays L). as a consequence of breeding over past decades have not been reported.
While some degree of lymphatic exhaustion was obvious in adult animals (perhaps as a result of age-related changes, or reduced investment in immunity as a consequence of breeding effort), there was also evidence of some degree of compensation, in the form of storage of plasma cells particularly in the pancreas of Aselli, possibly as a defence against previously encountered parasites.
Production of hybrid offspring by pure females represents a major consequence of breeding in heterospecific aggregations.
"The relationships between coat color and disease may reflect an inadvertent consequence of breeding certain pigmentations," professor Paul McGreevy, lead author of the study and chairman of VetCompass, said in a statement.
Here, sink demand in stems declined during flowering, which may be a trait that has been selected to the extreme in domesticated crops, such as grain sorghum, as an unintended consequence of breeding for high grain yields.
Above this value, spacing behaviour of females shifts from a density-dependent process with the consequence of breeding suppression to a density-independent process without breeding suppression.
As pointed out earlier, these differences are probably the consequence of breeding history and selection specific to each breeding program.
Then, the reduction of diversity continued more moderately, but spread over the genome, during the evolution of DWL and, more recently, as a consequence of the breeding activity23,41.
There has been a dramatic increase in the productivity of animal husbandry since the 1870s, largely as a consequence of selective breeding and improved animal nutrition.
For example, Reading [24] reported deteriorated body conditions in metamorphic toads (Bufo bufo) as a consequence of early breeding.
The use of a high number of SNP markers in this study also revealed gene flow and higher rates of admixture between cultivars grown in remote regions, probably as a consequence of local breeding activities.
