General195020 sections
This Act regulates livestock breeding practices in a specified area of Madhya Pradesh to improve the capital and quality of the state's stock. It mandates government certification for bulls used for breeding, requiring owners to brand these animals and strictly prohibiting the possession of any unmarked animals. Designated Livestock Officers have the power to inspect cattle and order the castration or branding of any bull that is diseased, physically unfit, or of a breed considered undesirable. By controlling which animals are permitted to reproduce, this legislation aims to protect the region's livestock population from the propagation of inferior stock and contagious diseases.
