B.Dairy Farm Supervisor
C.Small Poultry Farmer
D.Organic Grower
Explanation: PSEB Scheme of Studies lists Agriculture (204) with the job role Small Poultry Farmer (ASCI AGR/Q4306). Solanaceous Crop Cultivator is the Matric NSQF Agriculture (code 88) role, not Class 12 code 204.
2What is the primary production purpose of a commercial broiler farm?
A.Hatching fertile eggs for breeding stock only
B.Producing table eggs for daily human consumption
C.Raising meat-type chickens to market weight as quickly and efficiently as possible
D.Producing only ornamental fancy birds for shows
Explanation: Broilers are meat-type birds managed for fast, efficient growth to market weight. Table-egg production is the layer system’s goal.
3BV-300 is best described as which type of commercial chicken?
A.A commercial broiler hybrid only for meat
B.An indigenous game breed of Punjab
C.A waterfowl breed used for duck meat
D.A commercial layer hybrid developed for high egg production
Explanation: BV-300 is a well-known commercial layer strain selected for egg number and efficiency. Cobb/Ross-type brands are typical broiler meat hybrids.
4Cobb 400 / similar Cobb lines are primarily used as:
A.Commercial pure egg-layer stock only
B.Dairy cattle crossbreeds
C.Paddy transplanting tools
D.Commercial broiler (meat) stock
Explanation: Cobb commercial lines are widely used as broiler meat hybrids selected for growth rate and feed efficiency.
5Aseel is traditionally known in India as:
A.A high-producing commercial white egg layer hybrid
B.A duck breed specialized for coastal fishing
C.An indigenous hardy game/meat-type chicken breed
D.A turkey strain used only for Thanksgiving markets abroad
Explanation: Aseel is a famous indigenous Indian chicken, traditionally valued as a hardy game/meat-type bird rather than a hyper-selected commercial white layer.
6Compared with layers, returns on a well-managed broiler farm are generally described as:
A.Much slower because birds never leave the farm
B.Impossible to plan under any market condition
C.Only annual, matching one long egg cycle
D.Quicker because batches finish in weeks and cash cycles turn faster
Explanation: Broiler batches typically finish in a matter of weeks, allowing multiple cycles per year and relatively quick cash turnover versus multi-month layer production cycles.
7Setting up broiler versus layer production on a small farm should mainly depend on:
A.Market demand/prospects and the farmer’s resources and capacity
B.Only the colour of the shed roof paint
C.Random choice without considering feed cost
D.Whether the farmer dislikes record-keeping
Explanation: Enterprise choice (broiler/layer/mixed) should follow market prospects, capital, labour, risk tolerance, and infrastructure—not cosmetic or random factors.
8Dual-purpose chickens are best described as birds selected to:
A.Produce neither meat nor eggs economically
B.Lay only blue eggs with no meat value
C.Provide both meat and eggs at moderate levels rather than extreme specialization
D.Live exclusively in aquatic environments
Explanation: Dual-purpose types balance moderate egg and meat traits, unlike specialized high-output commercial layers or ultra-fast broilers.
9Which statement correctly distinguishes a layer farm from a broiler farm?
A.Layer farms never require feed or water systems
B.Broiler farms exist only to produce hatching eggs for 72 weeks
C.Layer farms market birds at 5–6 weeks of age as the main product
D.Layer farms raise birds primarily for continuous table-egg production over many months
Explanation: Layers are managed for sustained egg output (often many months of lay). Broilers are grown quickly for meat and marketed at a young age.

B.A species of Japanese quail
C.A brand of poultry disinfectant
D.An indigenous Indian chicken breed noted for dark meat/flesh pigmentation
