1. According to the 20th Livestock Census of India (2019), the total livestock population was closest to which figure?

  1. About 536 million
  2. About 512 million
  3. About 852 million
  4. About 193 million

A. About 536 million

The 20th census counted about 535.78 million livestock. About 512 million was the 19th census (2012) total, about 852 million is the poultry count, and about 193 million is roughly the cattle population alone.

2. Which single item is usually the largest part of the cost of producing a pig?

  1. Feed
  2. Housing depreciation
  3. Veterinary costs
  4. Labour
Answer and working

A. Feed

Feed is commonly about 60 to 75 per cent of the cost of production, so feed price and feed conversion matter more than any other cost. Labour, veterinary costs and building depreciation are each a much smaller share.

  1. Egg-laying duck breed
  2. Meat duck breed
  3. Ornamental goose

4. Why do indoor-reared piglets need supplementary iron in the first days of life?

  1. Sow's colostrum contains an iron-chelating protein that blocks iron uptake in the piglet's gut
  2. Piglets lose most of their iron through the umbilical cord bleeding that follows farrowing
  3. Piglet haemoglobin cannot bind iron until the thymus matures at about three weeks of age
  4. They are born with small iron reserves, sow's milk is low in iron and they cannot root in soil
Answer and working

D. They are born with small iron reserves, sow's milk is low in iron and they cannot root in soil

Low birth reserves, low iron in sow's milk, very fast growth and no access to soil together make iron-deficiency anaemia predictable. Iron injection in the first days of life is the usual prevention.

5. 'Pipe-stem liver' seen at slaughter in cattle with chronic fasciolosis refers to:

  1. Hydatid cysts in a row
  2. Thickened, calcified bile ducts
  3. Milk spots from Ascaris larvae
  4. Fibrosed hepatic arteries
Answer and working

B. Thickened, calcified bile ducts

Chronic cholangitis caused by adult flukes leads to fibrosis and calcification of bile ducts, which grate when cut. Milk spots are a pig lesion caused by Ascaris suum.
