Answer 1

Hint:
Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture that deals with animals raised for fibre, meat, milk, or other products. This involves breeding and raising livestock like cows, buffaloes, goats, horses, camels, fisheries, and poultry farming. There are more than 300 breeds of goats available and most of them are raised for milk, fur, and meat.

Complete step by step answer:
Jamnapari is an Indian breed of domestic goat. Most of the Jamnapari goats are white with tan patches on the neck and head. They can produce 2 to 2.5 kg of milk per day. Jamnapari males can weigh up to 70 kg, while females can reach around 40 kg depending on the environmental conditions.
Beetal goats are the common variety of goats that are large and highly milk productive. They are in different colours such as red, white, black, or brown. They can produce 1 to 2 litres of milk per day. Female goats may weigh up to 45 kg, and male goats may weigh up to 65 kg.
Barbari goats are small compact goats. They are mostly white with light brown patches. Barbari goats are highly adaptable to environmental conditions. Female Barbari may weigh up to 23 kg and male Barbari may weigh up to 38 kg.
Toggenburg goats are robust and highly milk-yielding. Toggenburg males may weigh up to 75 kg and females may weigh up to 55 kg.

Option ‘C’ is correct

Note:
Barbari goat is mainly farmed for meat purposes. They have a habit of spoiling food with their urine in the feeding place. So a special type of feeding area is made to protect food from spoilage.
