Preview Questions Livestock Manager | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How does selective breeding impact genetic diversity in livestock populations, and how should it be managed?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It requires no management if proper record-keeping is maintained

It has no effect on genetic diversity if properly managed

It increases diversity by introducing new genetic traits

It can reduce diversity, and careful planning is required to avoid inbreeding

Question 2: In managing a herd with chronic diarrhea, what is the most likely cause and the recommended treatment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Bacterial or viral infection; treated with antibiotics and electrolytes

Parasitic infection; treated by using dewormers and improving hygiene

Nutritional imbalance; treated by adjusting the diet and feeding schedule

Stress-induced conditions; treated by reducing herd size

Question 3: What is the most critical factor to consider when implementing crossbreeding strategies in livestock?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The cost of maintaining multiple breeds in the herd

The reproductive cycles of the breeds involved

The complementarity of traits between breeds to enhance performance

The size of the breeding population

Question 4: What is the key challenge when implementing artificial insemination (AI) in large-scale poultry breeding programs?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Reducing the cost of AI for large-scale operations

Synchronizing ovulation in all hens within a flock

Ensuring the correct storage and handling of semen

Ensuring the AI technology is up-to-date with the latest research

Question 5: What is the best practice for managing the breeding of maiden heifers in a commercial livestock operation?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To allow them to only breed once a year to increase genetic diversity

To wait until they reach appropriate body weight and age before breeding

To use AI only after they have calved at least once

To breed them as early as possible to increase herd numbers

Question 6: Which of the following factors is most critical in determining the protein requirements of growing livestock?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The environmental conditions and feed availability

The age, weight, and growth rate of the animal

The time of year and length of the feeding period

The breed and genetic potential of the animal
