Correct Answer
(C) Buffen
Explanation
Solution: Buffalo meat is known as Buffen. The buffen is lean and rich in protein and less fatty than cattle. This has created a high demand for buffen among health-conscious consumers. Buffalo meat has a lower fat content, and its fat is milky white, compared to the yellow-white fat of beef. Buffalo meat is darker in colour, and buffaloes, because of their larger size, have harder bones than cows.
[#572] Toxins of organism causes peripheral nerve paralysis in cattle
Correct Answer
(A) Botulism
Explanation
Solution: Toxins of organisms cause peripheral nerve paralysis in cattle known as Botulism. It is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin that attacks the body's nerves and causes difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and even death. This toxin is made by Clostridium botulinum and sometimes Clostridium butyricum and Clostridium baratii bacteria. Botulism is an exotoxin-induced flaccid paralysis affecting animals and humans. Cattle are no exception to this peripheral neuronal paralysis. Being a bio-warfare agent and the most potent toxin known to date, botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) plays havoc in living beings.

[#574] The pulse rate/mnt of the horse is
Correct Answer
(C) 30 - 40
Explanation
Solution: The pulse rate/mnt of the horse is 30 - 40. Heart rate (pulse) is faster in young horses than in older horses. Normal adult horses have a heart rate of 30 to 40 beats per minute. Newborn foals' heart rates range from 80 to 120, older foals from 60 to 80, and yearlings from 40 to 60 beats per minute.
[#575] The respiration rate/mnt of the fowl is
Correct Answer
(A) 15 - 30
Explanation
Solution: The respiration rate/min of the fowl is 15 - 30. The typical respiration rate of chickens is about 15 - 30 breaths per minute. The rate is higher in the light period (average of 35.6 breaths per minute) than in the dark period (average of 23.1 breaths per minute).
