Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-c, 2-e, 3-b, 4-a, 5-d
The correct matching of heat signs with animals:
- Homosexual behavior (mounting other cows): Cow — cows in heat actively mount other animals and allow themselves to be mounted
- Frequent urination during heat: Buffalo — buffaloes show frequent urination as a characteristic estrus sign, in contrast to cows
- Rhythmic erection of clitoris: Mare — mares show 'winking' (rhythmic exposure of the clitoris) when teased by a stallion
- Pro-estrus bleeding: Bitch — bitches show vulvar bleeding (sanguineous discharge) during pro-estrus before actual estrus
- Flehman's reaction: Bull — the bull curls its upper lip and sniffs the urine/vaginal secretions of a cow in heat (olfactory evaluation of pheromones/estrogens)
Note on Buffalo vs. Cow
Buffalo shows silent heat (subestrus) more commonly than cattle, making heat detection harder. Signs like frequent urination and tail lifting are important indicators in buffaloes.
