Animal Husbandry MCQ Question and Answer | Agriculture MCQ Question

This question asks about different breeds of goats. Let's go through the options:

Option A: Kashmiri - Kashmiri is a breed of goat that originates from the Kashmir region. They are known for their fine wool and are found in the northern parts of India.

Option B: Gaddi - Gaddi goats are also a breed of goat found in the Himachal Pradesh region of India. They are used for milk and meat production.

Option C: Cheviot - Cheviot is not a breed of goat, but a breed of sheep. They are a hardy breed of sheep, found mainly in the Cheviot Hills in the United Kingdom.

Option D: Chamba - Chamba is a breed of goat found in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh, India. These goats are known for their milk and meat production.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: Cheviot because it is a breed of sheep, not a goat.

This is the first recognized breed of Kerala among livestock. The Malabari breed of goat is known for its quality meat with less fat, prolific breeding, and is ideally suited for the Kerala climate.
Malabari is a breed of medium-sized goats seen widely in the northern districts of Kerala.

Surathi buffalo breed is a native of Gujarat.
The Surti is a breed of water buffalo found in the Kaira and Vadodara districts of Gujarat between the Mahi and Sabarmati rivers. Its average milk yield is 1600 - 1800 litres. The fat content of the milk is about 8 - 10 percent.
The Surti buffalo is of medium size and docile temperament. The breed has got a fairly broad and long head with a convex shape at the top in between horns. The best animals of this breed are found in Anand, Kaira and Baroda districts of Gujarat.

Rabies is also known as Lyssa, Rage and Tallwut.
Rabies, also called hydrophobia, Rage, Tallwut, or lyssa, acute, ordinarily fatal, viral disease of the central nervous system that is usually spread among domestic dogs and wild carnivorous animals by a bite. All warm-blooded animals, including humans, are susceptible to rabies infection.
Rabies virus, scientific name Rabies lyssavirus, is a neurotropic virus that causes rabies in humans and animals. Rabies transmission can occur through the saliva of animals and less commonly through contact with human saliva.

Vitamin C and Selenium are required for Ubiquinone synthesis.
Ubiquinone is a crucial component of bacterial bioenergetics. The bacterial pathways to produce ubiquinone are highly diverse.
Ubiquinone is produced in anoxic conditions by a dioxygen-independent pathway. Ubi, mena and plastoquinone biosynthetic pathways are evolutionary related. Chorismate biosynthetic pathway is necessary for the formation of p-aminobenzoic acid ubiquinone, aromatic amino acids, enterochelin and vitamin K.

First clone Dolly was made in Sheep.
Dolly (5^th July 1996 - 14^th February 2003) was a female Finn-Dorset sheep and the first mammal that was cloned from an adult somatic cell.
She was cloned by associates of the Roslin Institute in Scotland, using the process of nuclear transfer from a cell taken from a mammary gland. Her cloning proved that a cloned organism could be produced from a mature cell from a specific body part.

Gestation period for swine is 114 days.
Fetal development occurs between attachments of fertilized embryos to the uterus, to the days right before parturition (birth). The length of time a sow is pregnant, or gestating, is about 115 days, or 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days.
During this time the piglets go through different phases of development, which we will separate into 5 major phases: Day 0 - 15, Day 13 - 30, Day 30 - 77, Day 77 - 90, Day 90 - 114.

Hormone for milk secretion Prolactin.
Prolactin is necessary for the secretion of milk by the cells of the alveoli. The level of prolactin in the blood increases markedly during pregnancy, and stimulates the growth and development of the mammary tissue, in preparation for the production of milk.
Prolactin levels decrease as lactation is established but nursing stimulates prolactin release from the pituitary which promotes continued milk production. Prolactin is secreted into milk at levels representative of the average circulating concentration.

Pituitary glands secrete oxytocin.
Pituitary gland (also known as hypophysis) is a small, pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain below your hypothalamus. It sits in its little chamber under your brain known as the sella turcica. It's a part of endocrine system and is in charge of making several essential hormones like oxytoxin.
Oxytocin is a natural hormone that manages key aspects of the female and male reproductive systems, including labour and delivery and lactation, as well as aspects of human behaviour. Hypothalamus makes oxytocin, but your posterior pituitary gland stores and releases it into your bloodstream.

Alpine is a breed of Goat.
The Alpine is a medium to the large sized breed of domestic goat known for its very good milking ability. They have no set colours or markings. They have horns, a straight profile and erect ears.
The breed originated in the French Alps. Mature does weigh around 61 kg (135 lbs) and is about 76 cm (30 in) tall at the shoulder. Alpine goats can range from white or grey to brown and black. Alpine goats are heavy milkers.
