Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) Breeding high-quality meat-yielding bulls

Easiest explanation: High milk-yielding breeds of females and high quality (lean meat with less lipid) meat- yielding bulls have been bred successfully to increase herd size of cattle in a short time. MOET technology has been demonstrated for cattle, sheep, rabbits, buffaloes, mares, etc.
