Improvement in Food Resources (Animal Husbandry) (Se...

Marine fisheries are fishes found in deep seas and coastline. Pomphret, tuna and sardines are popular marine fish varieties while catla is a freshwater fish found in rivers and lakes.

Colour of chicks is not a significant trait for raising a new variety of poultry breeds.

Desirable traits of bees are:
Stinging less frequently
Breeding very well
Having high honey collection capacity
Staying in the given beehive for a long period

Unhealthy condition of the body or the mind is referred to as the ‘sick’ state. Loss of appetite is one of the common symptoms of a sick animal.

The practice of growing four to five fish species in a single fish pond is known as composite fish culture. These species are selected so that they do not compete for food among them due to different types of food habitats. 

Broilers are raised for the production of meat. Protein-rich feed with adequate fat is the appropriate ration for broilers. This supplies proper energy and proteins to the body.

Reduction in meat-yield is not an advantage of a good poultry feed as broilers (breed of chicken) is sold for meat purpose. Care is taken to avoid mortality (i.e. death rate) and to maintain feathering and carcass quality.

Aseel is an indigenous breed of poultry. Indigenous means local breed or breed native to the region. Aseel is an Indian breed. Leghorn is a foreign or exotic breed.

The levels of vitamin A and vitamin K are kept high in poultry feed. Vitamin K is required for normal clotting of blood and synthesis of proteins found in blood plasma, bones and kidneys. Vitamin A plays an important role in vision, bone growth, reproduction and cell division.

Broilers are raised for meat production and not for egg production. Hence, feed given to broilers is not designed to improve the quality of eggs but to improve the traits which help in better meat production. 

Broilers are raised for the production of meat. Poultry farming is undertaken to raise domestic fowl for egg production and chicken meat.

The practice of growing four to five fish species in a single fish pond is known as composite fish culture. In such systems, these species are selected so that there should not be any competition among them for food as they possess different types of food habits.

Apis mellifera is an Italian bee variety used for honey production while Apis indica,e Apis florae and Apis dorsata are all local Indian varieties of bees used for commercial honey production.

The place where bees are reared for commercial honey production is called an apiary. It is a bee farm where beehives of honeybees are kept and bees are reared for obtaining honey.

There are a number of diseases prevalent in poultry. The diseases are caused by organisms like virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites as well as other nutritional deficiencies. Although Algae also is responsible for some of the poultry diseases due to toxins produced by it but it is not the direct pathogen.

The practice of culturing marine fish stock is known as mariculture.

Hormonal stimulation is the method to ensure the supply of pure fish seeds in desired quantities throughout the year.
