38. Cattle Breeding Cross-breeding helps in the
characteristics in animals like, Increased milkdevelopment
production,
of certain desired
diseases, Breeds that require less amount of quality feed. Resistance against
Exotic breed cattle (long lactation)
are interbred with the locally bred cattle (high resistance to the
quality bred that contain both the diseases) to produce high
characteristics. In order to obtain agood guality of milk from the cattle, it is
important to manage shelter, food, breeding and disease control of cattle. Cattle
are prone to various internal and external parasites, bacteria and
virus which are
likely to affect their milk production. Animals that produce milk are called milch
animals (the females of the herd). Animals that are used for carrying out
agricultural work like tilling, carting etc. are called draught animals (males and
the females that are poor in milk-yielding varieties).
Answer the following questions:
1) What are milch animals?
2) What are the draught animals?
3) How does cross-breeding help in cattle breeding?
4) Mention the preconditions for a good yield of milk?

and placed the box on the roof of the bus. The old man thanked Akshit.
Rajiv is astudent of class IX. He bought a toy gun from the market. The bullets used in gun
were made of rubber. His mother asked Rajiv not to fire bullets on the window panes. Rajiv
went to a park and fired bullets on a displaying screen made of plastic. Rajiv's friend Rohan
objected the action of Rajiv. Rajivstarted quarelling with Rohan.
Answer the following questions based on the above paragraph.
1. Is the work done by Akshit while placing the box onthe roof of the bus positive or negative
?

2. Is the work done by gravity on the box is positive or negative ?
