QUESTION
First faecal material voided by a new-born calf is known as?
OPTIONS
(A) Meconium
(B) Faeces
(C) Excreta
(D) Pellets
ANSWER
(A) Meconium
EXPLANATION
Meconium is the correct option because it is the first intestinal material passed by a newborn calf and consists of intestinal secretions, mucus, cells and swallowed material accumulated before birth. Faeces are the normal fecal material produced after feeding and digestion, excreta is a general term for waste products, and pellets describe a physical form rather than the specific first fecal material.
