Exotic breeds ______
A. Require specific environment
B. Hardy
C. Sturdy
D. Takes less food
Solution
For crossbreeding, exotic breeds are used. Exotic implies that no native is foreign. Somewhere an exotic is produced and carried to a region. Owing to changes, these exotic breeds can encounter difficulties. So they mixed once with the native and artificially bred offspring with the commodity. They would achieve a much higher yield than that of the indigenous ones.
Complete answer:
Animal husbandry relates to the increasing and selective breeding of animals. It is animal management and treatment in which the genetic quality and actions of animals for the benefit are further established. A significant number of farmers rely for their livelihood on animal husbandry. Exotic implies that no native is foreign. Somewhere an exotic is produced and carried to a region.
-To live in countries rather than their own country, exotic breeds need specific conditions. There is daily control of their nutritional quantities and consistency.
-For these breeds, special hygienic standards are followed
-Specific settings require exotic breeds. The cattle population's exotic breed is under an extensive feeding scheme consisting of stall feeding in which the keeper has power over the composition of the diet.
Also, when milling, stringent clean liner and hygiene are of high importance so that distance free can be preserved.
-Exotic breeds are subject to an intensive feeding system consisting of food stands over which the owner has control over the composition of the food. whereas local varieties are subject to an extensive feeding system in which animals are allowed to watch. Note that you have no control over the animal duet composition.
-Buying exotic breeds is more expensive and requires more sophisticated housing options. Local breeds are generally stronger and more accustomed to conditions, less susceptible to disease and less demanding for quality forages. Low production, but most of the farms are underperforming. In suboptimal conditions, local breeds remain healthy and animal welfare is less at risk than exotic breeds in the same situation. Although production is low, it is more cost-effective to have local breeds than exotic breeds because they need less food and health. Breeding opportunities in remote areas are lower than in areas with good infrastructure. Using local breeding bulls rather than artificial insemination can be a limiting factor in increasing local cattle production. Work together as farmers and take the initiative as a group.
Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Some exotic breeds of cattle:-
-Jersey: This is the smallest breed of dairy cow developed on the island of Jersey, United Kingdom. In India, this breed is well adapted and widely used when crossed with local cattle. Jersey cow's distinctive colour is brownish-red. and a compact and angular body.
-Holstein Frisian: This breed was developed in the northern part of the Netherlands, especially in the province of Friesland. They are roughly made and have big udders. They are the largest breed of dairy cattle and adult cattle can weigh up to seven hundred kg. They have distinctive black and white markings that make them easy to distinguish.
-Brown Swiss: The mountainous region of Switzerland is the origin of the Swiss brown race. It is known in its homeland for its rugged nature and good milk production. is the best cross obtained by breeding this breed with the recognized Indian cattle breeds.
Note: Under the department of animal husbandry, the treatment, breeding, management, etc of animals are especially supervised. Animal husbandry is a business on a wide scale. In a farm or area that is expressly designed for them, the animals are raised, cared for, reared and sheltered.
Exotic breeds ( Jersey, Brown Swiss) are chosen for long breastfeeding periods, whereas local breeds (Red Sindhi, Sahiwal) have excellent disease resistance. The two can be crossed to produce an animal with two desirable traits.
