A. Hilliker, Nageri, Malvi
B. Gir, Sahiwal and Deoni
C. Kankrej, Haryana and Ongole
D. Tharpaker, Kangayan

Answer 1

The cows of the breeds which yield high milk and the males of this breed are slow and weak animals of the working class are also known as milk races. On average, the milk production of these races reaches 1600kg per lactation.

Complete answer:
Milch breed of cattle is also referred to as Milk breeds.
Milch breeds or milk breeds are the cattle that give a high yield of the milk.
The male animals of these breeds are also “slow or poor work animals”
Examples of milch breeds include Sahiwal, Gir, Red Sindhi, Deoni, and many more.
Therefore, the correct option is B. Gir, Sahiwal, and Deoni.
Dairy cows are raised to produce milk from which milk is manufactured. Seven distinct races of dairy cows live in the USA: Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Milking Shorthorn and White Holstein.

Fig, Cattle Deoni breed
So, for the improvement of the quality and quantity of milk production, we can consider some other measures such as:
1. Selection of different breeds of cattle: We should prefer hybrid cattle rather than the indigenous or wild cattle. Hybrid cattle have the rDNA (Recombinant DNA) with desirable genes for improvement in milk quality and quantity and also genes that are resistant to disease making the cattle less prone to infections.
The hybrid cattle that are resistant to disease and with high yield potential will be an added advantage in the improvement of quality and quantity of milk.
2. We should provide a healthy and nutritious diet that is rich in fibers, proteins, nutrients to the cattle.
3. The maintenance of proper hygienic conditions in the farm with an adequate water supply should be an important priority.
4. A regular check-up by veterinary doctors.
5. Proper ventilation and roofing will prevent the cattle from harsh weather conditions like rain, high temperature in summer, low temperature in winter, etc.

Hence, the correct answer is option B) Gir, Sahiwal and Deoni

Note:
Remember the different breeds of milch breeds as they play an important role in increasing the milk yield. The milk production of the milch breed cattle is “more than 1600 kg per lactation”.
The ultimate goal is to increase milk production by the management of domestic animals and this is called Dairy farming.
Dairy farming can also be defined as the management of domestic animals to obtain milk and use it for the consumption of humans or direct sale of different dairy products.
