Hint: Dairy farm involves the rearing of animals for various dairy products such as milk, butter, ghee and many other products and its processing. It is an important part of the farming sector. Many factors are to be considered while utilizing animals in a dairy farm for improving the yield and in increasing the quantity of the milk produced.

Complete answer:
Considering the given options:
A dairy farm needs routine inspections and visits by a veterinary doctor to ensure the health of the animals, and to inspect whether the farm follows proper hygiene practices, so that the quality of the products are met. This is also useful for improving the social wellbeing of the animals.
Usage of manure to increase crop yields does not come under dairy farm management. It is a method involved in agriculture to improve the yield and increase the disease resistance.
Proper environmental conditions for the animals are an important factor in maintaining a dairy farm. Various components such as adequate ventilation, temperature, and proper lighting are of prime importance.
Weeding is not a method to be implemented in dairy management, but it is to be done for agriculture, for healthy crops.

During the dairy farm management, proper care is taken during the feeding process of the cattle to ensure proper nutritious food that meets the nutrient requirements. So that the cattle developed are healthy. This can improve the yield and quality of the milk produced.
