B. Holstein
C. Brown swiss
D. Jersey

Answer 1

The foreign breed of cows are also known as the exotic breeds of cows. The local or the Indian breeds are known as the Indigenous breeds. Moreover, the foreign breed of cows are usually adopted or crossed with the Indian breeds because they produce more milk.

Complete answer: Let us look at all the options that are given to us one by one.
-Sahiwal is an indigenous breed of cow that is reared for milk production. This means that it is not a foreign breed. It is found in the Sahiwal area of the Punjab area, at a place that is divided between India and Pakistan.
-Holstein also known as Holstein-Friesian is an exotic breed. This means that they are not found in India, but outside of India. Holstein is found in Holland, which is in Europe. They are considered the best milk yielding breed of cattle in the whole world.
-Brown swiss is an exotic breed. This means that they are not found in India, but outside of India. Brown swiss is found in Switzerland, which is in Europe.
-Jersey is an exotic breed. This means that they are not found in India, but outside of India. Jersey is found on the Island of Jersey, which is in the English Channel, in Europe. The jersey breed produces 40 to 50 liters of milk.
Thus, based on the above information, we can conclude that Sahiwal is not a foreign breed of cow.
Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: Sahiwal is the heat-tolerant breed of cattle. They are a milch breed, which means that the female cows are good milk-producers but the male bullocks are of poor quality. Due to this reason, the sahiwal breed is reared for cows and not bulls.
