A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Animal husbandry is the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock. Animal husbandry is a method of control propagation of domestic animals to improve desirable qualities.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Animal husbandry deals with the caring and breeding of livestock such as buffaloes, cows, horses, cattle, sheep etc. that are useful for humans. It also includes poultry farming and fishing. The fisheries include rearing, catching, selling etc. of fishes, molluscs like shellfish, crustaceans like prawns, crabs etc. It is the continuation of ancient times that certain animals and their products are used by humans. To conventional practises of animal breeding and care, newer technologies also have to be applied to achieve improvement in quality and production. Some management is used in the successful working of animal husbandry like dairy farm management, poultry farm management etc.
The main objectives of animal husbandry are the production of milk, meat, egg etc. should be increased, the products should be of great quality, the animals should have a longer productive life, the progeny breeds must be of disease-resistant etc.
Hence, it is true that the branch of agriculture which deals with the feeding, shelter, health and breeding of domestic animals is called animal husbandry.

Note: It is estimated that more than $70\%$ of the world livestock population is in India and China. The production of world farms is only $25\%$, which shows that the productivity per unit is very low.
