Q.1
The test cycle in a progeny testing program in Indian cattle and buffaloes is ............ years:
(1) 3 to 5
(2) 5 to 7
(3) 1 to 1.5
(4) 1.5 to 2
- Progeny Testing Program Batch Interval (Test Cycle): In systematic field progeny testing programs in Indian cattle and buffaloes (such as National Dairy Development Board - NDDB and BAIF schemes):
- new batch of candidate young bulls is inducted into testing every 1.5 to 2 years (18 to 24 months).
- This regular replacement / cycle interval ensures continuous genetic evaluation without creating generational gaps in semen distribution.
- Generation Interval vs. Test Cycle:
- While the total time required from bull birth to obtaining milking daughters' first lactation records is 7 to 8 years, the induction cycle between successive test batches is 1.5 to 2 years.
Correct option: (4) 1.5 to 2
