pasturage is the availability of flowers for nectar and pollen collection for the honeybee' The quality and taste of the honey is determined by the kind and quantity of pasturage.

The desirable characters of bee varieties suitable for honey production are: 1. They sting less. 2. They stay for longer periods in a given bee hive. 3. They breed well. 4. they produce comparatively more honey and wax.

There are two methods of obtaining fish.

One method is capture fishing in which the fish are obtained from natural resources such as fresh water resources (i.e., canals, pools, reservoirs and rivers), brackish water resources (i.e., estuaries and lagoons) and marine fishery resources (i.e.’, coastline and deep seas)’ The other method is by fish farming (or culture farming), which is concerned with culturing, feeding, breeding and fish production. Fish farming is based on aquaculture which pertains to production of useful aquatic plants and animals such as fishes, prawns, crayfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, mussels, oysters and seaweeds by proper utilisation of available waters in the country. Aquaculture includes Mari culture and freshwater culture fisheries.
In both dairy and poultry farming, there are: (i) Maintenance of temperature; (ii) Proper housing facilities having hygienic conditions; (iii) Proper feeding; and (iv,) Prevention and control of diseases and pests.

Poultry birds utilise such agricultural products which are unfit for human consumption. ln return, they give l1s eggs and high quality meat which serve as a cheap source of animal protein.

The milk production of cattle can be increased by the technique of selective breeding. This is done by cross breeding between a local breed (indigenous breed, e.g., Red Sindhi, Sahiwal) cow and in exotic (foreign breed, e.g., Brown Swiss) bull. The local cow is selected for the character of diseaseRead more

This is done by cross breeding between a local breed (indigenous breed, e.g., Red Sindhi, Sahiwal) cow and in exotic (foreign breed, e.g., Brown Swiss) bull. The local cow is selected for the character of disease resistance. The exotic breed of bull is selected for the character of prolonged period of lactation and high yield of milk. The breeding may be done by natural methods or by artificial insemination (i.e., injecting the semen obtained from the desired bull into reproductive tract (vagina) of the cow during fertility period). The desired characters are thus obtained in the next generation.
There are two main factors responsible for lose during storage. A. Biotic factors include: 1. Insects, e.g., grubs of pulse beetle; grubs and adults of rice weevil; wheat weevil; caterpillar of grain and flour moth; larvae and adult of rust red flour beetle; Iarvae of rice moth and grubs and adultsRead more

B. Abiotic factors. They include moisture, temperature and other non-living environmental factors.
Preventive measures (such as use of resistant varieties of crops) and biological control methods should be preferred for protection of crops because they are ecologically safe, target specific and harmless to other life forms.
