Question

Compared to other animals, which one has low reproductive rate?

• A. Camelus dromedarius
• B. Ovid sp
• C. Capra hircus
• D. Horse

Answer 1

The correct option is D Horse

In comparison to other animals, horses have a low reproductive rate. They are more difficult to breed and have a long gestation period. Horse-breeding by controlled natural mating has been in practice for long time in our country. Attempt to breed mares during low fertility months, incorrect heat detection of the mare, bacterial infections probably all attribute to the nationally low reproductive rate of mares.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
