• Seed Rate of Fodder Crops (kg/acre in Decreasing Order):
• Fodder Maize: $16\text{--}20\text{ kg/acre}$ (or $40\text{--}50\text{ kg/ha}$).
• Fodder Oat: $30\text{--}35\text{ kg/acre}$ (or $75\text{--}80\text{ kg/ha}$).
• Berseem: $8\text{--}10\text{ kg/acre}$ (or $20\text{--}25\text{ kg/ha}$).
• Pearl Millet (Bajra): $3\text{--}4\text{ kg/acre}$ (or $8\text{--}10\text{ kg/ha}$).
• Relative Seed Rates: Decreasing sequence corresponds to large, bulky grain seeds down to small seeded millets/legumes.

Correct option: (1) (A), (B), (C), (0)

• Dry Matter Intake (DMI) per Unit Body Weight Across Species:
• DMI as a percentage of body weight is inversely related to body size and directly proportional to metabolic rate ($W^{0.75}$):

• Goat (C): Highest intake, requiring $3.5\%\text{ to }5.0\%$ of body weight in dry matter due to higher metabolic turnover and browser kinetics.
• Sheep (D): Requires $3.0\%\text{ to }4.0\%$ of body weight.
• Cattle (A): Requires $2.0\%\text{ to }2.5\%$ (up to $3.0\%$ in high yielders) of body weight.
• Buffalo (B): Requires $2.0\%\text{ to }2.2\%$ of body weight (superior coarse fibre digestion with slightly lower DMI rate).
  • Decreasing Order: Goat (C) > Sheep (D) > Cattle (A) > Buffalo (B).

• Gir $\to$ (II) Curled Leafy Ears: Native to Saurashtra/Gir forest; distinctive convex bulging forehead (dome) and pendulous, long, spirally folded ears resembling a curled leaf.
• Tharparkar $\to$ (III) Coffin-Shaped Head: Dual-purpose white cattle of Thar desert; characteristic flat forehead between horns tapering towards the muzzle, producing a coffin-like facial profile.
• Hallikar $\to$ (IV) Tight Sheath, Muscular Body: Mysore draught type; compact, muscular body with very tight umbilical sheath and tucked-up abdomen.
• Kankrej $\to$ (I) Prominent Orbital Arch: Heaviest dual-purpose cattle of Rann of Kutch; broad face, lyre-shaped horns, and protruding orbital arches with dark rings around the eyes giving a majestic appearance.

Correct option: (2) (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)

• Nutritional Requirements for Milk Production:
• According to Sen, Ray, and Ranjhan standards (ICAR feeding standards for dairy cattle):
• For producing $1\text{ kg}$ of $4\%$ Fat Corrected Milk (FCM):
• Digestible Crude Protein (DCP): $45\text{ g}$
• Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN): $320\text{ g}$ (approx. $0.32\text{ kg}$ TDN)
• Calculation Rule: Requirements scale proportionally with milk fat percentage ($DCP = [45 + 5 \times (\text{Fat}\% - 4)]\text{ g}$).

Correct option: (1) 45 gram and 320 gram
