Answer 1

Answer:

1. Sheep are raised principally for their meat (lamb and mutton), milk (sheep's milk), and fiber (wool). They also yield sheepskin and parchment.
2. Shearing is the process whereby the sheep's fleece (wool) is removed using mechanical shears called 'handpieces'. ... Most sheep are shorn by professional shearers who are paid by the number of sheep they shear – this can be up to 200 sheep a day (2-3 minutes per sheep)
3. Scouring or washing is the first mechanical process that wool goes through, to remove grease and dirt from fleece. Carbonising is unique to the woollen system and breaks down any remaining impurities after scouring.
4. Rearing of sheep means to look after the sheep by providing them food, shelter and health care. breeding is done to obtain animals with desired characters . ... these are then crossed [ made to reproduce ] to obtain new breed of the animals having desirable characters of both parents . this is called selective breeding.
