Everything in this universe is made up of material “matter”. The air we breathe, the food we eat, stones, clouds,
stars, plants and animals, even a small drop of water or a particle of sand – everything is matter. when we make
tea, coffee or lemonade, particles of one type of matter get into the spaces between particles of the other. This
shows that there is enough space between particles of matter. Particles of matter are continuously moving, that
is, they possess what we call kinetic energy. particles of matter have a force acting between them. This force
keeps the particles together. The strength of this force of attraction varies from one kind of matter to another.

Poultry is the fastest growing segment of animal husbandry in India despite the fact that the majority of Indians
are vegetarians. Poultry yields eggs from layers that are female birds. It yields meat from two sources, young
birds or broilers, and non-productive layers. The indigenous breeds include Busra, Chhattisgarh, Kadaknath, and
Aseel. They are slow growing. The yield of eggs is small. The exotic breeds are White Leghorn, Rhode Island
Red, Plymouth Rock, and Australorp. The exotic breeds are fast growing and yield a large number of eggs (180-
280 per year). Many of the exotic breeds have been acclimatised in our country. A number of high-yielding
hybrids have been developed, e.g., ILS-82, B-77, HH-260.

i. What is Broilers? (1)
