Question #3
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Dairy farming focuses on milk production. 2. Poultry farming focuses on meat and egg production. 3. Fisheries focus on silk production. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock (like cows and buffaloes) specifically for the long-term production of milk. Poultry farming involves the rearing of domesticated birds (like chickens, ducks, and turkeys) for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Fisheries (pisciculture) involves the breeding and rearing of fish and other aquatic organisms for food; silk production is the domain of sericulture (rearing silkworms). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
