Question #3
Consider statements about animal husbandry: 1. Poultry birds are reared for meat and eggs. 2. Dairy animals are reared for milk production. 3. Sericulture involves rearing honeybees. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Poultry farming involves the commercial rearing of birds, primarily chickens, for the production of meat (broilers) and eggs (layers). Dairy farming focuses on the breeding, rearing, and management of cattle, buffaloes, and other mammals for the production of milk and milk products. Sericulture is the rearing of silkworms (Bombyx mori) for silk production; the rearing of honeybees is called apiculture. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
