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
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 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

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 adults of lesser grain borer.
2 Rodents, e.g., striped squirrel, house rat, house mouse, lesser bandicoot rat, etc.
3. Birds, e.g., parakeet, sparrow, bulbul, blue rock pigeon, crow, etc.
4. Mites; 5. Fungi; and 6. Bacteria”
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.

Why should preventive measures and biological control methods be preferred for protecting crops?
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.
