D. Aseel
Solution
Animal husbandry is the science of raising livestock animals. It entails cattle care, breeding, and management. Animal husbandry is a large-scale industry in which animals that provide us with food are reared, bred, sheltered, and cared for in carefully designed farms or regions.
Humans manage, raise, and care for farm animals in the field of animal husbandry, which is a branch of agriculture and organic farming. Cattle farming and animal husbandry, such as cows, goats, buffalo, sheep, and so on, are the starting points. Animal husbandry was later expanded to include cattle farming, poultry farming, egg and broiler production, apiculture, and fisheries, among other things.
Complete answer:
Option A: It is primarily bred by nomads in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The birds are primarily kept for eggs and/or game, and are raised in a backyard farming system.
So, option A is not correct.
Option B: Brahmas are, first and foremost, exceptionally hardy chickens. They are very good egg layers for their size. From October through May, they lay the majority of their eggs, making them a great winter-layer.
So, option C is not correct.
Option C: Busra birds are small and have a wide range of body colours. The majority of the plumage is white, with black feathers on the neck, back, and tail, and reddish-brown feathers on the shoulders and wings.
So, option C is not correct.
Option D: Aseel is a popular table bird known for its fighting abilities. They are found all over India, however the greatest quality Aseel may be found in the Uttar Pradesh districts of Lucknow and Rampur.
These birds have a lot of meat and a good flavour and taste. However, they lay a few eggs and grow slowly.
So, option D is correct.
So, Option D is the correct answer.
Note:
The breeding and management of fowls in poultry farming serves two purposes:
The eggs are produced.
Meat or flesh production.
A variety of strains (breeds) are raised to meet the quantity and quality requirements. Layers, which generate eggs, and broilers, which produce meat, are among the better strains.
Crossbreeding in chicken farming made it easier to accomplish economic goals and control the flock. They concentrate on:
Chick quantity and quality
For increased chick output, dwarf broiler parents are used.
High-temperature adaptation/tolerance
Low-maintenance and low-feeding requirements are essential.
