View Complete Answer & Explanation
Question (English)
Nimari cattle breed is an admixture of:
- Gir & Khillari ✓ Correct
- Gir & Kankrej
- Red Sindhi & Sahiwal
- Sahiwal & Tharparkar
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Gir & Khillari
Nimari is a dual-purpose cattle breed from the Narmada Valley (MP) and is an admixture of Gir & Khillari breeds (Table 18).
Other Admixtures in Indian Cattle
- Nimari = Gir + Khillari (Narmada Valley, MP)
- Rathi = Red Sindhi + Sahiwal + Tharparkar (Alwar, Bikaner, Rajasthan)
- Mewati (Kosi) = Gir + Rathi + Nagori (Alwar, Bharatpur, Rajasthan)
- Deoni = Gir + Dangi + local animal (Hyderabad, Telangana)
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- Gir & Kankrej: This cross produced Indubrasil (a Brazilian breed), not Nimari.
- Red Sindhi & Sahiwal: Not the components of Nimari.
- Sahiwal & Tharparkar: These are part of the Rathi breed admixture.
