Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2: Jamnapari.
The Jamnapari, originating from the Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh, is recognized as the largest and most productive dairy goat breed in India. Key reasons for its superiority include:
- High Milk Yield: It has a daily milk production capacity of 2 to 3 kg, significantly higher than other indigenous breeds.
- Physical Attributes: Known for its majestic size, "Roman nose," and long pendulous ears, it is often used to improve other breeds.
Regarding other options:
- Barbari: A small, prolific breed suited for stall-feeding, but its total yield is lower.
- Black Bengal: Primarily valued for high-quality meat and skin, but is a poor milk producer.
- Beetal: A high-yielding breed from Punjab, often compared to Jamnapari, but Jamnapari remains the benchmark for peak milk production in Indian conditions.
