Important animal science terminologies (from Table 9 & 10):
- Nanny → Goat (Nanny/Doe = adult female goat).
- Clowder → Cat (a group of cats is called a Clowder).
- Tupping → Sheep (the act of mating in sheep is called Tupping; Ram tups the Ewe).
- Farrowing → Swine/Pig (act of parturition in pigs). A Sow farrows Piglets.
- Rut → Camel (the breeding season/mating behaviour in camels is called Rut).
Key Parturition Terms to Remember
Calving (Cattle/Buffalo) → Lambing (Sheep) → Kidding (Goat) → Farrowing (Pig) → Foaling (Horse) → Whelping (Dog) → Queening (Cat).
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Option B swaps Tupping (Sheep) with Farrowing (Swine).
- Option C swaps Nanny (Goat) with Clowder (Cat).
- Option D swaps Farrowing (Swine) with Rut (Camel).
