Question

true or false: The Ariyans gave little attention to cattle rearing​

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Agriculture was the principal occupation in the villages. Its adoption took place undoubtedly at a very early age, though we have nothing, which can tell us as to the period when it was adopted. Historical evidence goes to prove that among pastoral peoples or even semi-savages, agriculture in some form or other has been practiced.

In regard to the Indo-Europeans, Dr. Schrader who tried to estimate their agricultural development with the aid of Philology, came to the conclusion that these peoples had a considerable amount of agricultural knowledge; not only did they cultivate millets, oats flax, and beans but had devised a rude wooden plough.

Coming to the Indo-Iranian period when the Vedic Aryans are supposed to have lived along with the Iranians, we find that the Indo-Iranian agriculture was considerably developed and this is proved by a careful comparison of a number of Vedic and Avesta words relating to agriculture.

Answer 2

Answer

true

Expantation:

cattle farming involves rearing and management of two types of animals- one group for food requiements (like in the dairy industry) and another for labour purposes (draught animals).In cattle farming, the animals are maintained in a strictly hygienic manner with proper housing. Milk production can be enhanced by increasing the lactation period (period after the birth of the calf, when cows start producing milk). However, the quality  cannot be compromised so, disease- resistantbreeds having higher yield are developed (E.g:Jersey etc.).To maintain high yeilding and disease resistant variety of cattle, they must be provided with adequate nutrient - rich fodder in a timely and prper manner. Maintaining the food requirments of the animals is also, therefore, a part of cattle farming.
