Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect with respect to animal husbandry?

• A. Diseases can wipe out an entire population of livestock.
• B. Animal husbandry can be small or large scale enterprise.
• C. Lack of technical knowledge decreases livestock production.
• D. Animal husbandry is a practice of merely breeding livestock.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Animal husbandry is a practice of merely breeding livestock.

$\bullet$ Animal husbandry is not only the practice of breeding livestock but it is the science of rearing (also includes farm management) and breeding (selection of high yield breeds) of animals.
$\bullet$ Lack of scientific knowledge decreases livestock production and fails to produce disease-resistant varieties of livestock. As a result, diseases can wipe out entire population of livestock in a given area, making it a prime factor that adversely affects livestock and livestock products.
