B. Livestock value chain
C. Bank on hooves
D. Cross breeding program
List-II
I. Activities from production to consumption of animal products
II. Integration of farming and livestock for mutual benefits
III. Improved growth rate and milk yield
IV. Ready liquid asset for household needs
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
• B. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
• C. A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
• D. A-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III

Hint:

Mixed farming = integration
Value chain = farm to fork
Bank on hooves = livestock as savings

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Livestock systems contribute to agriculture, economy, and livelihood through integrated farming, value chains, and breeding programs.

Step 1: Mixed Crop-Livestock System (A)

• Combines crop production and animal rearing.
• Benefits:
• Efficient resource use
• Nutrient recycling
• Hence: A → II

Step 2: Livestock Value Chain (B)

• Includes:
• Production
• Processing
• Distribution
• Consumption
• Hence: B → I

Step 3: Bank on Hooves (C)

• Livestock acts as financial security.
• Can be sold during emergencies.
• Hence: C → IV

Step 4: Cross Breeding Program (D)

• Improves productivity.
• Enhances milk yield and growth rate.
• Hence: D → III

Step 5: Final Matching
\[ A \rightarrow II,\quad B \rightarrow I,\quad C \rightarrow IV,\quad D \rightarrow III \] \[ \boxed{\text{Option (C)}} \]
