General195018 sections
This Act regulates livestock breeding within the entire state of Madhya Pradesh by establishing a system for certifying approved bulls and managing designated breeding areas. It applies to any person or entity keeping a bull, mandating that they report ownership and consent to inspections to ensure the animal is healthy and from a desirable breed. This measure matters because it seeks to prevent inferior breeding, strictly control the propagation of unwanted livestock types, and ultimately improve the quality and productivity of the livestock industry through government oversight.
