Question

Which of the following has to be done in order to realise the yielding potential?

(a) Cattle should be left on their own

(b) Cattle should be well looked after

(c) Cattle should be fed every alternate day

(d) Quantity of fodder should be unlimited

I had been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This intriguing question comes from Animal Husbandry and Dairy Farm Management-1 topic in section Strategies for Enhancement in Food Production of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Cattle should be well looked after

The explanation is: For the yield potential to be realised, the cattle have to be well looked after-they have to be housed well, should have adequate water and be maintained disease-free. The feeding of the cattle should be carried in a scientific manner- with special emphasis on the quality and quantity of fodder.
