1Which indigenous Indian cattle breed is known as the highest milk producer among native milch breeds and originated in the Montgomery region (now in Pakistan)?
A.Sahiwal
B.Gir
C.Red Sindhi
D.Tharparkar
Explanation: Sahiwal is widely recognized as the best indigenous milch cattle breed of the Indian subcontinent. It produces the highest milk yield among native breeds, averaging 2,000 to 2,500 kg per lactation under good farm management.
2Which indigenous cattle breed, originating from the Kathiawar region of Gujarat, is characterized by a prominent convex forehead and long pendulous ears curved like a folded leaf?
A.Gir
B.Sahiwal
C.Ongole
D.Hariana
Explanation: Gir cattle are easily recognized by their distinct physical traits: a broad convex forehead that shields the eyes from sunlight, long pendulous drooping ears, and half-moon shaped horns. They are renowned for hardiness and resistance to heat and disease.
3Which exotic cattle breed produces the highest average volume of milk per lactation among all dairy breeds in the world?
A.Holstein Friesian
B.Jersey
C.Brown Swiss
D.Ayrshire
Explanation: Holstein Friesian (HF), originating from the Netherlands, is the highest milk-producing dairy breed globally. Under optimal conditions, HF cows can yield 6,000 to 8,000 liters or more per lactation, though their milk has a lower butterfat percentage compared to Jersey milk.
4Which exotic cattle breed is famous for producing milk with the highest butterfat percentage (around 5.0% to 5.5%) and possesses high heat tolerance among exotic breeds?
A.Jersey
B.Holstein Friesian
C.Guernsey
D.Red Dane
Explanation: Jersey cattle, originating from the Island of Jersey in the English Channel, produce milk with exceptional butterfat content (5.0–5.5%) and solids-not-fat. They are smaller in body size, consume less feed, and tolerate warm climates better than Holstein Friesians.
5Which Indian buffalo breed is popularly called the 'Black Giant' and is considered the best dairy buffalo breed in the world due to its tightly coiled horns and high milk yield?
A.Murrah
B.Surti
C.Nili-Ravi
D.Bhadawari
Explanation: Murrah is the premier dairy buffalo breed originating from Haryana and Punjab. Characterized by a jet-black coat and short, tightly curled horns, Murrah buffaloes yield 1,500 to 2,500 kg of milk per lactation with high fat content (~7%).
6What is the average length of the estrus (heat) cycle in dairy cows?
A.21 days
B.14 days
C.28 days
D.35 days
Explanation: The estrus cycle in dairy cows averages 21 days (with a normal range of 18 to 24 days). If the cow does not conceive during her heat period, the cycle repeats approximately every 21 days.
7What is the normal gestation period for an indigenous or crossbred cow?
A.280 to 285 days
B.310 to 315 days
C.145 to 150 days
D.365 to 370 days
Explanation: The average gestation period (pregnancy duration) for a dairy cow is approximately 280 to 285 days (around 9 months and 9 days). Knowing this period helps dairy workers plan dry periods and calf delivery preparation.
8What is the average gestation period for a dairy buffalo?
A.310 days
B.280 days
C.150 days
D.200 days
Explanation: Buffaloes have a longer gestation period than cattle, averaging 310 days (approximately 10 months and 10 days). Dairy workers must account for this longer duration when calculating expected calving dates.
9Which sign is the most reliable indicator that a dairy cow is in standing heat (estrus) and ready for breeding?
A.Standing firmly to be mounted by other animals
B.Frequent bellowing
C.Slight reduction in feed intake
D.Clear mucus discharge from vulva
Explanation: 'Standing heat'—where the cow stands still and allows herself to be mounted by other cows or a bull—is the single most reliable behavioral sign of true estrus. Other signs like bellowing and discharge are secondary indicators.
10According to the standard 'AM-PM rule' for Artificial Insemination (AI), if a cow shows standing heat in the morning (AM), when should she be artificial inseminated?
A.In the evening (PM) of the same day
B.In the morning (AM) of the next day
C.Immediately within 1 hour
D.After 48 hours
Explanation: The 'AM-PM rule' states that if a cow shows standing heat in the morning (AM), she should be inseminated in the evening (PM) of the same day. Conversely, if heat is first observed in the evening (PM), insemination should occur the following morning (AM).

3Colostrum must be fed to a newborn calf at 10% of its body weight within 1 to 2 hours of birth.
4Understand the lactometer formula: SNF% = (CLR / 4) + 0.2 * Fat% + 0.36.
5Standard HTST pasteurization parameters are 72°C for 15 seconds followed by immediate chilling to below 4°C.

How is Solids-Not-Fat (SNF) in milk calculated using a lactometer?

SNF is calculated using the Corrected Lactometer Reading (CLR) and Fat percentage via the standard Richmond/Gerber formula: SNF% = (CLR / 4) + (0.2 * Fat%) + 0.36.

What is the difference between leguminous and non-leguminous fodders?

Leguminous fodders (like Berseem and Lucerne) are rich in digestible crude protein and fix atmospheric nitrogen, whereas non-leguminous fodders (like Maize and Jowar) are rich in energy and carbohydrate content.
