Best Answer

It does with many species, but it can require study and research to determine what the animal requires from their environment, and food. If there are any social triggers involved, or any mating rituals that must be adhered to. Even if they were born in the wild, as apposed to hand reared, can make a difference in whether some animals will mate with others or not. There are so many variables even within a species, that can be the deciding factor of a successful program or not. But overall, with hard work and attention to the animals detail, a breeding program can usually become productive. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

How do captive breeding programs affect genetic diversity?

Captive breeding programs can affect genetic diversity in one of two ways. Within the program itself, genetic diversity is reduced, because captive breeding programs only have a limited number of animals to work with. On the other hand, animals from a captive breeding program that are re-introduced to the wild can increase genetic diversity, because they are bringing genes that may have been gone for a long time back into the gene pool.
