Question

What are “milch animals”? Give three examples of exotic breeds of cows.

Answer 1

Milk-producing animals are known as “milch animals” e.g. cows, buffaloes, goats and camels. The milk from goats is nutritious and is sometimes preferred to cow milk. But the production of goat milk is much less than that of cows and buffaloes. Cow milk is quite nourishing and easy to digest, but as compared to buffaloes, cows produce less quantity of milk. Buffaloes are the major source of milk in our country.

Exotic (Foreign) breeds. For example. Jersey, Holstein- Friesian, and Brown Swiss.
