Question

When one male cock is mated to 15-20 hens, the method of mating is called as:

• A. Artificial insemination
• B. Stud mating
• C. Flock mating
• D. Cross - breeding

Hint:

'Flock mating' is simple: the whole flock lives and mates together. This is the most common natural mating system in commercial poultry.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Flock mating is a system where males and females are kept together in a group (a flock) and are allowed to mate naturally. A common ratio in poultry is one rooster for every 10-20 hens. Stud mating involves taking the female to the male for a supervised mating.
