Dairy farming
Dairy farming is a class of agriculture for long-term production of milk, which is processed (either on the farm or at a dairy plant, either of which may be called a dairy) for eventual sale of a dairy product
Usually a dairy is a business enterprise established for the harvesting or processing (or both) of animal milk – mostly from cows or goats, but also from buffaloes, sheep, horses or camels– for human consumption. A dairy is typically located on a dedicated dairy farm or in a section of a multi-purpose farm (mixed farm) that is concerned with the harvesting of milk

Breeds OF Diversified species of Poultry.pptx
The term “Poultry” refers to all the domesticated species of birds reared for the purpose of eggs, meat and feathers. Species of birds under this category includes chicken, ducks, quails, turkey, guineafowl, geese, pheasants, emu and ostrich. The domesticated chicken is most widely propagated in commercial purpose to meet the demands of eggs and meat. The other species of poultry are less popular.
Duck account for 7% of poultry production, mostly confined to the coastal states of the country.
Japanese quail farming is gaining attention with better feed efficiency, lesser production cost.
Turkey, guinea fowl and gesse farming is confined to state and central govt farms, educational and research institutions.
Emu and ostrich are reared for skins, leather and oil besides ornamental purpose.
I.DUCKS
Ducks are reared for the purpose of eggs (Khaki Campbell), meat (Pekin) and ornamental (crested). Duck eggs are popular in north –eastern states, West Bengal and Kerala; where they are mostly reared in free range system.
Mostly reared under extensive or semi intensive system.
Indigenous ducks are highly disease resistance and can survive by grazing in the rice fields, canals, ponds, marshy lands, irrigation tanks and rivers. Hence they are more popular than Khaki Campbell ducks.
The egg weight will be 65-80g, depending on the breed / variety. They can lay 120- 180 eggs per year for 2 to 3 years.
Ducks lay most of their eggs during the night and early in the day, which suits the nomadic system of rearing;
Ducks consume spilled grains in harvested fields, and insects and snails in wet fields by foraging, and so supplement part of their feed requirement on their own, which greatly saves feed cost making them economical to maintain;
Ducks require less care and attention in management than chickens
The major disease challenging the ducks are duck plague, for which all the ducks are vaccinated periodically, starting from two months of age.
Breeds of ducks are classified based on the size and utility. Skin of most breeds is yellow except Aylesbury and Muscovy which have pinkish white. Egg colour is usually light brown except Indian Runner – white eggs, Rouen – blue as well as white eggs, Cayuga and Black East Indie – initially black later stages blue colour
TURKEY
Turkeys are native of North and Central America. These are kept only for meat. In India turkeys are almost non-existent and constitute less than 1% of total poultry population. Turkeys belong to single breed, however there are different varieties of turkey which differ in size, plumage colour and fleshing properties. There are 7 standard varieties of turkey namely Bronze, White Holland, Bourbon red, Narragansett, Black, Slate, Beltsville small white. The varieties of turkeys used commercially are Broad Breasted Bronze, Broad Breasted Large White and Beltsville Small White. Due to high cost of feed combined with poor feed efficiency, turkeys are often fed with vegetable.

Eggs are considered a perfect food that is rich in protein and nutrients. Egg production is estimated to rise 50% by 2030 to meet demand. There are several factors that influence egg size, including hen age, breed, and time of year. Young hens may lay smaller eggs while older hens in their prime usually lay medium to large eggs. Some breeds are bred specifically to lay larger eggs. Hens naturally lay smaller eggs in winter when days are shorter.

Duck farming
Duck farming is an important part of poultry farming in India, accounting for about 10% of total poultry population. Ducks are more prolific layers than chickens, producing 15-20 more eggs per year. They are also hardy birds that can forage to supplement their diet. The two main breeds used are Khaki Campbell, the best egg producer at 300 eggs/year, and White Pekin which is fast growing and has good meat quality. Diseases like duck virus enteritis and pasteurellosis pose threats but can be prevented through vaccination and sanitary practices.

Veal calf - Welfare
The document discusses the welfare issues associated with veal calf production. It notes that male dairy calves are often used for veal since they cannot produce milk. Calves may be slaughtered very young ("bob veal") or raised for white or rose veal. White veal calves are restricted in iron and fiber to produce pale meat, while rose veal calves have a healthier diet but may still be raised in barren housing. Calves raised for veal are often confined to small individual crates where they cannot turn around or engage in natural behaviors, which causes suffering. Poor housing, diets, and treatment lead to health issues in veal calves.
