Breeds and their home states:

  • Nili-Ravi (Buffalo) → Punjab (Ferozpur) — also known as Panch-kalyani; minimum fat (4%) in buffalo breeds.
  • Bhadawari (Buffalo) → Uttar Pradesh (Agra, Etawah) — highest fat (14%) in buffalo breeds; copper colour body.
  • Gir (Cattle) → Gujarat (Gir forest) — milch breed; longest lactation among desi breeds (325 days); best beef breed.
  • Nimari (Cattle) → Madhya Pradesh (Narmada Valley) — dual-purpose breed; admixture of Gir & Khillari.
  • Aseel (Chicken) → Andhra Pradesh — famous Indian game/fighting breed.

  • Option D swaps Gir (Gujarat) with Aseel (AP).
