Correct Answer:

It is low capital intensive

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: It is low capital intensive

Dairy farming requires significant investment in:

  • Milch animals,
  • Cattle sheds,
  • Fodder,
  • Veterinary care,
  • Machinery and refrigeration facilities.

Therefore, dairy farming is generally capital intensive, not low capital intensive.

The other statements are correct.

NCERT: "Dairy is the most advanced and efficient type of rearing of milch animals. It is highly capital intensive. It is highly labour intensive as it involves rigorous care in feeding and milching. There is no off season during the year as in the case of crop raising."
