General18986 sections
The 1955 Andaman and Nicobar Islands Live-stock Improvement Regulation is a law that aims to enhance regional cattle quality. It applies to anyone keeping a bull or buffalo-bull in the territory. The law regulates cattle breeding by requiring owners to hold a license to keep an intact, uncastrated bull. Government officials can deny licenses and mandate the castration of unlicensed bulls if an animal is diseased, physically defective, or of an undesirable breed. This matters because it systematically prevents the breeding of sick or inferior livestock, ultimately ensuring a healthier, stronger, and more productive local cattle population across the islands.
