The correct answer is: a) Kerala Livestock Development Board.
The Kerala Livestock Development Board (KLDB) is a state government undertaking under the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries, Government of Kerala. It was established in 1973 with the objective of promoting livestock development in the state. The KLDB is responsible for the development of livestock production, processing, and marketing. It also provides extension services to farmers and organizes training programs for livestock farmers.
The KLDB has a network of livestock farms, breeding centers, and veterinary hospitals across the state. It also has a milk processing plant and a meat processing plant. The KLDB is a major player in the livestock sector in Kerala and plays a key role in the development of the sector.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University is a state university that offers veterinary and animal sciences education and research. It is not involved in livestock development.
- National Dairy Development Board is a central government undertaking that is responsible for the development of the dairy sector in India. It is not involved in livestock development in Kerala.
- Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries is a state government department that is responsible for the development of the animal husbandry, dairying, and fisheries sectors in Kerala. It does not play a key role in livestock development.
