Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming involves milk production. 2. Poultry farming involves meat and egg production. 3. Apiculture involves silk production. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock (like cows, buffaloes, goats) specifically for the long-term production of milk and milk products. Poultry farming involves the commercial rearing of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, turkeys) for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Apiculture is the scientific rearing and management of honeybees (Apis species) for the production of honey, beeswax, and other hive products; silk production is sericulture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
