  Additional information For the yield potential to be raised the cattle have to be well looked after- they have to be housed well, should have adequate water, and be maintained disease free. The feeding of the cattle should be carried out scientifically- with special emphasis on the quality and quantity of the fodder. Besides, stringent cleanliness and hygiene are of paramount importance while milking, storing, and transporting milk and milk products. In sheep, superovulation is also done to yield high milk-yielding breeds of females and high-quality meat.

Hence the correct answer is option B i.e., Beetel .
Note: Milk yield is primarily dependent on the quality of breeds on the farm. Selection of good breeds having high yielding potential( under the climatic conditions of the area), combined with resistance to diseases is very important.
