Weaning is the process of:

• A. Separating young from mother
• B. Milk production
• C. High fiber feed
• D. First milk after birth

Answer: (A)

Weaning is the process of separating the young from the mother and gradually stopping nursing so the offspring can rely on solid foods and become independent from the dam. This transition moves the animal from a milk-based diet to other feeds and helps it adapt to life without continuous suckling. The other options describe different concepts: milk production refers to lactation in the mother, not the act of weaning; high fiber feed is a dietary choice used after weaning, not the act itself; and the first milk after birth is colostrum, produced soon after birth, not during the weaning process.
