Animal Husbandry MCQ Question and Answer | Agriculture MCQ Question

Black quarter diseases are caused by Clostridium bacteria.
Blackleg, black quarter, quarter evil, or quarter ill is an infectious bacterial disease most commonly caused by Clostridium chauvoei, a Gram-positive bacterial species. It is seen in livestock all over the world, usually affecting cattle, sheep, and goats. It has been seen occasionally in farmed bison and deer.
Most losses due to blackleg occur when the cattle are between the ages of six months and two years, although it can occur when they are as young as two months.

The highest lactose percentage is found in the milk of humans.
Lactose concentration in bovine milk is about 4.8%. People with lactose intolerance lack the enzyme, beta-galactosidase or lactase, to break down lactose into glucose and galactose during digestion.
All milk, raw or pasteurized, contains lactose and can cause lactose intolerance in sensitive individuals.

The number of pre-molar teeth in cattle is 12.
Cattle are placed in a cattle crush to restrain them before inspecting the mouth and amount of teeth that each animal has.
Cattle have six premolars and six molars on both top and bottom jaws for a total of twenty-four molars. The teeth of cattle are suited primarily for grinding, and they use their rough tongues to grasp grass and then nip it off between their incisors and the dental pad.

Milk fever is caused due to deficiency of Calcium.
Milk fever, postparturient hypocalcemia, or parturient paresis is a disease, primarily in dairy cattle but also seen in beef cattle and non-bovine domesticated animals, characterized by reduced blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia).
It occurs following parturition, at onset of lactation when demand for calcium for colostrum and milk production exceeds the body's ability to mobilize calcium.

Conversion of spermatid into spermatozoa is Spermiogenesis.
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules.
Spermatogenesis produces mature male gametes, commonly called sperm but more specifically known as spermatozoa, which can fertilize the counterpart female gamete, the oocyte, during conception to produce a single-celled individual known as a zygote.

Average fertile life of an egg is 12 - 24 hours.
Sperm can live inside a woman's body for less than 5 days. A released egg lives for less than 24 hours. The highest pregnancy rates have been reported when the egg and sperm join together within 4 to 6 hours of ovulation.
The egg moves down the fallopian tube and stays there for 12 to 24 hours, where it can be fertilized. Sperm can live inside the female reproductive tract for as long as five days after sexual intercourse under the right conditions.

Dauainea proglotina is smallest tape worm of poultry.
Davainea proglottina is a very small (0.5 - 2 mm) tapeworm that affects the duodenum and upper jejunum of chickens, other gallinaceous birds, and pigeons.
The adult tapeworm has four to nine segments and the head (scolex) has four suckers surrounded by rings of hooks, with the mouth also ringed by hooks.

Green fodder to be ensiled should have DM between 30 - 35%.
Dry matter (DM) is the total of all the solid components in a plant without water content. Dry Matter % in the sample other than water including protein, fiber, fat, minerals, etc.
Green fodder yield t/ha is 18 to 20. Dry matter content (%) is 30 - 35%. Crude protein content (%) is 20.00.

East coast fever in cattle is caused by Theileria.
East Coast fever, also known as theileriosis, is a disease of cattle that occurs in Africa and is caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva.
This disease was first reported in southern Africa, south of the Zambezi river, in 1902. It became known as East Coast fever after it was determined that the disease had originated in cattle imported from the East Coast of Africa.

E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria Grows at 15° - 40°C, Lactose fermenter and Motile.
Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms.
E. coli involves the growth of the bacterium on glucose and lactose, where E. coli will consume glucose before lactose.
