9. Strategies of Enhancement in Food produciton Flashcards
What is animal husbandry
It is the agricultural practice of raising livestock
What does animal husbandry deal with?
Drawls with the care and breeding of livestock like buffaloes,cows , pigs , sheep etc
Extended it also includes fisheries , molluscs crustacean etc
It is estimated that more than ——- percentage of worlds ——— is in India and China
70
livestock
What percentage of world produce from livestock is by india and China ?
25 percent
What is diary management ?
It is the management of animals for milk and it’s products for hum consumption
What do we deal with in diary farm management ?
Processes and systems to increase the yield
Improve quality of milk
What does the milk yield primarily depend on ?
Quality of breeds
Quality of better breeds with combined resistance to diseases is very important
What do we need to do to reach teh yield potential ?
Housed well
Adequate water
Maintained disease free
Quality and quantity of fodder necessary with scientific way of nourishment
Stringent cleanliness and hygiene of both CATTLE AND HANDLER is very important
Regular visit to the veterinary doctor is important
Do we need to ensure the hygiene of both handler and the cow for diary ?
Yes
What is operation flood based on ?
To increase the production of milk
What is silver revolution ?
Increase the production of egg
What is poultry ?
Class of domesticated fowls birds for food and their eggs
Normally chicken , duck ,turkey ,geese’s
What does the word poultry refer to often ?
It often refers to meat
What is necessary for diary farming ?
Disease free and suitable breeds
Safe farm conditions
Proper feed and water
Hygeine and health care
Can bird flu spread via bird meat?
No it does not spread via meat but rather from the birds from their breathe
What is an important aspect of animal husbandry?
Breeding of animals
What is the aim of animal husbandry?
Increase the yield of animals
Improving desirable character
What is breed ?
A group of animals related by descent and similar in most character like general appearance , features , size , configuration etc
What is inbreeding ?
See between same family (4-6 generation) and breed
What is teh breeding strategy in inbreeding ?
Superior males and superior female sexual in same breed
Cow /buffaloes with better milk production
Bull with superior build
Gives superior progeny
What is the disadvantage of inbreeding ?
Inbreeding depression
Reduced fertility
How is fertility restored in inbreeding?
By out cross , sex with another family of some breed
What is the use of selection in each step in inbreeding ?
To incerease the productivity
What is the use / advantage of inbreeding ?
Used for developing pure lines of any animals
Increases the exposure to harmful recessive alleles
Helps in accumulation of superiori genes
Selection takes place in each step to increase production
What are the three types of out breeding ?
Outcrops
Cross breeding
Interspecific
What is outbreeding ?
Cross between different family of same or different breeds
What is out cross ?
What is best used for except infertility cure ?
Cross between same breed But different family
It is the best breeding method for animals that are below average in productivity , growth rate of beef etc
How many outcross needed to remove the infertility due to inbreeding ?
Just a single outcross can cure it
What is crossbreeding
Superior mail of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed
When is crossbreeding most desirable?
cross breeding allows the desirable qualities of two breeds to become by the progeny have been made themselves be used for commercial production
How are new breeds made by cross be
Reeding ? Give an examples of this ?
By cross two breeds to combine character and then inbreed them to get a pure line and a better superior breed
Hisardale - Marino rams and bikaneri ewes
Between whom is interspecific breeding is done ?
Between two different related species
Who is mom and dad of mule ?
Father - donkey
Mother - horse
How are controlled breeding experiment taken place ?
By artificial insemination
The semen may be stored or may be used instantly
It can be easily transported to where the female is without the bull
How is the success rate of artificial ? What is done to improve ipthis ?
It is fairly low
MOËT is used to improve the chances
What hormone is used for MOËT . What does it lead to ?
The cow is administered with hormones that have FSH like ability
It leads to increases in follicular maturation and super ovulation - instead of one egg many eggs
How many eggs per cycle in MOËT ?
6-8 eggs are produced per cycle
How is the cow fertilized in MOËT ?
By either mating with bull or by artificial insemination
MOËT :
The fertilized egg at —— cell stage are recovered ———- and transferred to surrogate mothers
8-32 cell stage
Non surgically
Is the genetic mother available for another round of super ovulation or need to wait for calf to grow properly ?
No
