Question

Match List-I with List-II:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

Remember that isolated animals are always housed in pens (pen barns) to maintain hygiene and safety, which directly helps in matching (C) with (II) and eliminating incorrect options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Dairy cattle housing systems are designed to optimize milk production, animal welfare, and operational efficiency.
Different structural units on a dairy farm serve specific functional purposes.

Step 3: Detailed Explanation:
-

Milking parlour (A): This is a specialized facility where cows are brought to be milked, most commonly associated with a

loose housing system (III).
-

Milk colony (B): This refers to a large-scale centralized dairy system, often run as a

community barn (IV) where multiple farmers keep their animals under cooperative management.
-

Sick animal (C): Sick or injured animals require isolation to prevent disease transmission and facilitate targeted treatment, which is done in a

pen barn (II).
-

Lofing (Loafing) barn (D): This is an open-fronted shelter where animals can rest and move freely, often integrated with

open air (I) access.

Step 4: Final Answer:
Matching the pairs correctly yields (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (II), and (D) - (I).
