PREFACE
The existing Manual of the Veterinary Department was last published in the year
1927 by Major Robert Ferguson Stirling (1886-1935), I.V.S. the then Director of
Veterinary Services, Central Provinces (See Appendix-1).
The independence of the country, re-organization of states and the subsequent
five-year plans resulted in multifold changes in the Departmental activities viz.
organization, setup, plans, programmes, schemes and allied activities. Besides this,
being a multidiscipline science, the job of a Veterinarian is an ever changing process. To
encompass its activity in all details within the frame work of rules and regulations is a
formidable task. Under such circumstances the need for a revised manual conversant
with the present situation was long felt. Although several efforts were made from time to
time to revise it but for some reasons could not be materialized. However with such
limitations, this working manual is proposed to be drafted which will basically serve to
regulate professional, administrative, financial, and technical and general matters of the
Department.
The manual will mainly deal with the rules / provisions / procedures etc issued by
the Government from time to time through various statutory rules viz. Fundamental
Rules (F.R.), Madhya Pradesh Financial Code (M.P.F.C.), Madhya Pradesh Treasury
Code (M.P.T.C), General Book Circulars (G.B.C.) and subsequent orders, directive
principles, memos, circulars, communiqués etc. An effort has also been made to specify
the „Modus operandi‟ or code of conduct for the employees of Department.
With such strategy this draft manual is proposed to be finalized and adopted
to fulfill the long felt need of the Animal Husbandry Department.

CHAPTER-I
INTRODUCTION
SECTION–I
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
History of Veterinary Science is very old and can be traced back to the Rig Vedic
age about three millenniums ago. The Vedic Aryans created in their poetic fancy such
divine cows like Kamdhenu, which would fulfill all their wish. Animal Husbandry was
considered as worthy even for the Kings and Queens. Maharaja Dilip (Raghu vansh) of
the Solar Dynasty personally grazed the cow Nandini, the description of which as given
by Adikavi Kalidas surprisingly resembles with the Red Sindhi Cow of today. Lord
Krishna and Jesus Christ, both had great love for the animals. Lord Shiva
(Pashupatinath) is said to have transplanted the head of a baby elephant on his own son
Shri Ganesh, popularly revered as God of wisdom in Hindu Mythology.
However, epics of different religions specially "The Vedas", "The Bible" and "The
Quran" all unanimously give message, to be kind to the animals. Lord Buddha offered
his life for Mangy Goat and Chakravarti Samrat Ashoka founded Veterinary Hospitals
through out the land and herbariums for medicinal plants. “Duhita” (Sanskrit-Daughter)
means a milk maid, since it was customary for the daughters to milk the cows. The art of
Animal Husbandry get into the wrap and woof of the texture of the life of the people so
much so that the Hindu traces his pedigree to an ancient keeper of the cow as evident
from the root of the word „Gotra‟ which is derived from „Gow‟ that is cow.
The zodiac signs under astronomy are mostly after the animals indicating the
extent of importance given to the animals. However, Domestication of animals started in
stone age as depicted in many of the famous primitive wall paintings found in almost
every part of the world. More than 60 varieties of cattle were domesticated during the
period 6000-4000 B.C. It is understood that the well characterized breeds of animals
appeared some time 2500 B.C.
Disease is as old as life itself. As a corollary man developed Human Ayurveda
and Veterinary Ayurveda. In ancient India both the systems were much developed and
practiced. The exponents of Veterinary Ayurveda were knows as „Shalihotra‟ (Ghoda
Doctor). During legendry Mahabharat war, which was fought some time 5000 years
B.C., thousands of wounded and diseased animals were treated daily under the able
guidance of „Nakul‟ who was one of the 5 pandavs is known as the oldest Veterinarian of
Indian history. He wrote „Nakul Samhita‟ for treating the animals. Vishampayan and
Palkapya also left a large number of Sanskrit treatises on Animal Husbandry and
Veterinary Science.
Animal Husbandry was also practiced by the ancient Assyrians, Babylonians and
Egyptions etc. The Jews practiced a rigid system of meat inspection. Aristotle, the great
Greek philosopher practiced veterinary medicine and wrote Historia Animalium and
Degeneration Animalium, where he described the mules, a result of cross breeding
Volume - I Page 2
between male donkey and mare scientifically some time 350 B.C. Similarly, Cato,
Hippocrates, Galen also practiced the Veterinary art. Galen organized the first
pharmaceutical concern in the world in Rome (Italy). (R. Somvanshi-Asian Agri-History
Vol. 10, No. 2, 2006 (133–146)
MODERN VETERINARY MEDICINE: PRE-INDEPENDENCE PICTURE

So far as the status of modern Veterinary Science in our country is concerned, it
is obvious that India was divided into numerous states ruled by different emperors and
Kings. The different rulers had their own ways of administration, but India, being an
Agricultural Country since very beginning, the relationship of its public with the animals
had always been indispensable.
However Ashok, Akbar, Shivaji, Rani Durgawati, Rani Ahilya Bai, Maharaja Ranjit
Singh, Scindias, Holkars and many others contributed a lot for the preservation and well
being of the live-stock, though much emphasis was given for care and management of
animals, useful for fighting purposes.
In spite of the vast ancient empirical knowledge, the healing art of animals on
scientific basis started only with the modern Veterinary education. However it is
considered necessary to document the mile stones in the history of Veterinary and
Animal Husbandry Science. Bourgelot founded the first Veterinary School in the town of
Lyons (France) in 1763, since then number of Veterinary Schools were started all over
the world and scientifically trained personnel took over the responsibility of Veterinary
and Animal Husbandry package of practices on methodical and scientific lines. It is not
exactly known under what circumstances the sapling of veterinary education was
planted in India. However it was Professor John. F. Steel who initiated the first
Veterinary School in the year 1886 in the composite Bombay province. Thus Bombay
Veterinary College is the first and pioneer institute in India & Asia. Later other Veterinary
Colleges were started at different places in the country viz Lahore 1887, Calcutta 1892
Madras 1903 and Patna 1930. The present position of the Veterinary Colleges running
in India is given in the Veterinary Council Act 1984, schedule-I.
It is understood that in the State of Madhya Pradesh (Former C.P. and Berar),
Veterinary Inspectors and Veterinary Assistant Surgeons were appointed some time in
the year 1892 under the Agriculture department. However independent civil veterinary
department was formed in 1906 having a superintendent as its Head of the Department.
Shri Jethaji ICVS (Indian Civil Veterinary Services) is said to be the first head of
department. The ICVS were the Veterinarians selected through the IVS (Indian
Veterinary Services) which was stopped in 1924 and recruitment through provincial
services was started. After Shri Jethaji, Britishers were posted as Heads of the
Department among which Major Robert Ferguson Stirling (1886-1935) was quite
eminent personality under whose guidance and supervision the existing civil veterinary
department Manual (1927) was published. After ward, due to extension of veterinary
activities a post of second Superintendent civil Veterinary Department (IVS Cadre) and
Volume - I Page 3
then Deputy Superintendent Civil Veterinary Department (Provincial Services) were

created.
The Indian council of Agriculture Research appointed a Veterinary Disease
investigation Officer in the year 1932 and subsequently Veterinary Inspectors and
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons. Veterinary Compounders were also posted in the
Veterinary Hospitals to assist the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons.
The cattle breeding farms were originally under the Agriculture department run by
Agriculture Graduates. In 1933 these farms were handed over to the Animal Husbandry
section of the Agriculture Department. Later, from time to time, with extensive expansion
of the department number of officers increased and suitable designations were adopted.
During Second World War many of the posts were discontinued under „Economic cut`
and thus Local Self Government, District Council and Municipal Committees started
Veterinary Dispensaries which were ultimately merged with the civil Veterinary
Department of the States. (Through Curtsy of Late Dr. N.C. Kaushas, Rtd. Director
Veterinary Services 05-10-1965 - 31-08-1976)
POST INDEPENDENCE PICTURE:

In modern age the Britishers however, organised the Civil Veterinary Department in
a systematic and methodical order in India, primarily with the purpose to serve the army
and later with the view to increase the milk production through livestock. The new State
of M.P. come into existence on 01-11-56 by merging erstwhile states namely
Mahakaushal, Vindhya Pradesh, Madhya Bharat, Bhopal and Seronj sub division of
Rajasthan. Prior to the reorganization of States there were different pay scales, cadres,
and designations in the different erstwhile states having no uniformity. The Directorate of
Veterinary Services started functioning at Bhopal w.e.f. 20 th May 1962. Shri R.C. Murab,
I.A.S. was the 1st head of Veterinary Department of M.P. Initially the Directorate was
under the Agriculture Department, later on, in 1981 separate Veterinary Department was
created. To create uniformity in the new State of Madhya Pradesh in different
designations, cadres and pay scales of posts merged from the erstwhile states, a set up
was sanctioned vide the G.A.D. no. 4421-3245/I/Int which was implemented vide D.V.S.
Order No. 11238/Estt./02-07-62. However, vide Government of Madhya Pradesh,
Pashupalan Vibhag order No. F-23/38-2007-35 Bhopal Dated 16-10-2010
Rationalization of post was done which is presently effective. (See Appendix-2).

bring home to public that the old bureaucratic order of things has gone and that there is
nothing now separating the rules from the ruled. This new spirit of the time should be
apparent on all occasions when officials come into personnel contact with the people as
well as in the official communication. However the official of this Department are

SECTION-IV
(DISEASE CONTROL)
Disease is an impairment of the normal state of an animal that interrupts or

modifies its vital functions. Diseases of animals remain a concern principally because of
the economic losses they cause and the possible transmission of the causative agents
to humans hence it appears necessary to focus on prevention, control, and eradication
of diseases of economically important animals / Birds.
PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING OUTBREAKS-

The occurrence of any epidemic cattle disease and also contagious diseases in
cattle, sheep and goats such as Rinderpest (Mata, Devi), Hemorrhagic Septicemia
(Galghotu, Ghatsarp, Gals Jan), black quarter (Ektangia, Churra, Pharsujan), Anthrax
(Chhar, Chhai), Foot and mouth (Chhoti Mata Devi), Pluro pneumonia, (Phephde ki
bimari, Dabba, Ghatras), Foot-Rot (Khursade Paysada, Khurra), scabies (Khujli, Khaj,
Khaoda), Ranikhet, fowl Pox Avian Influenza and rabies will in every instance, be
reported by the kotwar to the village patel, to the Panchayat office (where existing in the
same village) and to the Patwari of the village if present. If the village is the head quarter
of the Patwari and the Patwari is out of station the incidence of the out break must be
reported to him by the village kotwar on his return to the headquarters.
These village officials Viz. the village Patel or Sarpanch of the Gram panchayat or
the Patwari shall send the report of the incidence of the disease giving details in the
prescribed proforma to the nearest Veterinary Assistant Surgeon whether he is in-
charge of a Hospital or is the Veterinary Assistant Surgeon working in a Development
Block directly on receipt of the information from the village kotwar or that has come to
their personal knowledge, independently of the Kotwar‟s reports.
Volume - I Page 81
On receipt of a report of any contagious disease in cattle, sheep, goats, poultry,

equines etc from a kotwar or patel or independently of either of them, the Patwari shall
prepare the report in triplicate on plain paper or in printed form as appended at
Appendix- 48 and send one copy of it direct to the nearest Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon (or Veterinary Asst Surgeon of the area) immediately by post bearing and the
duplicate copy to the Collector of the District through the Tehsildar and the 3rd copy is
retained for his office records. Slackness on the part of village official in reporting
incidences of epidemics amongst livestock to the officials of the Veterinary Department
should be brought to the notice of the superiors of the Veterinary Department by the field
staff who will take further action.
When neither village Patel nor the Patwari is present or available in the village
and the head quarter of the Gram Panchayat is elsewhere, the village Kotwar should
either get the report written by some body else and post it to the nearest Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon at once or failing that, report the outbreak to the station House officer
of the circle who should report to the nearest Veterinary Assistant Surgeon.
When the village Patel is not literate the report should be got written by him
through somebody else and post it to the nearest Veterinary Assistant Surgeon or failing
that, report the outbreak through the kotwar to the officer in-charge police station who
should report to the nearest Veterinary Assistant Surgeon.
Furthermore, the latest means of communication like use of mobile phones,
telephone, SMS, whatsapp, e-mail, wireless messaging, etc should also be used where
ever applicable.
The Patwari will also report in the ordinary way on plain paper or printed form the
action taken on cattle disease reports and brought to the knowledge of the Collector of
the District through the Tehsildar. In every instance he will keep a record of such report
in the cattle disease register with dates for subsequent check. The officials of the
Veterinary Department and Tehsildar should in their usual round check the register
maintained by the Patwari. Out breaks of epidemic among livestock in forest villages
shall also be reported by the village Kotwar or village Patel to the Forest Ranger who in
turn will report to the nearest Veterinary Assistant Surgeon.
Reports of outbreaks of disease among herds encamped in forest areas outside
the limit of a village will be made by the forest guards to the Range Officer who will in
turn report to the nearest Veterinary Assistant Surgeon.
Besides village kotwar, Patel, Patwari and gram panchayat the Gram Sewaks
and gram sahayaks staff and officers of the Forest, Water Resources, PWD, Health and
Local Self Government Department are also authorized to report the incidence of
outbreak of any epidemic or contagious disease among livestock which has come to

villages are authorized to send any report about the incidence of any epidemic among
Volume - I Page 82
cattle or of any contagious disease among livestock direct to any Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon.
Note:- The above laid down procedure for receiving outbreak report only from
authorized village agencies is necessary to avoid any possible, misutilisation of technical
personal for personal benefits at state expenditure.
If any contagious disease in cattle occurs in a herd brought for sale or show at a
fair, the officer in-charge of the mela / fair should report the fact at once to the Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon in whose jurisdiction the mela / fair is held. He should take immediate
steps to segregate the sick animal or animals brought to the fair either for sale or show

continued by the other, Any suggestions that either authority may have to
make for action on the part of the other, with a view to checking the spread, of

ANIMAL DISEASE CONTROL PROGRAMME
(RINDERPEST ERADICATION SCHEME)
AIMS AND OBJECTS-

Rinderpest is a highly infectious viral disease of cloven footed animals inflicting
heavy mortality in bovine population as well as in small ruminants.
Rinderpest Control Programme in India was initiated during 1954 as a part of the second
Five Year Plan. Since then, the programme has been under execution adopting various
strategies. The present National Project for Rinderpest Eradication (NPRE) was
launched with effect from May, 1992. The main objective of the project is to
eradicate Rinderpest and Contagious Bovine Pleuro Pneumonia (CBPP) by
strengthening the veterinary services across the Country. The successful
implementation of this project will yield major economic benefits to owners of livestock,
particularly small, marginal farmers and landless labourers. Besides, the project is
expected to give a boost to export of meat and other livestock products and expenditure
on livestock health care programmes would substantially cut down, by way of
eradication of rinderpest and CBPP from the country. The main object of scheme is to
cover cattle population of the state to root out the foothold of the infection of rinderpest,
planned follow up work and to carryout surveillance and containment programme.

ALL INDIA COORDINATED RESEARCH PROJECT FOR EPIDEMIOLOGICAL
STUDIES ON FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Introduction-
Free, frequent and easy movement of the animals from one place to another
gathers great risk of spread of many of the contagious diseases among animals
including Foot And Mouth Disease. This disease though having less mortality but is very
common with very high percentage of morbidity leading to heavy economic losses. In
view of this, the all India coordinated research project for epidemiological studies on foot
and mouth disease was established in the state of Madhya Pradesh with the head
quarter at Bhopal with the intention to carry out systematic studies on its prevalence in
order to find out suitable measures for its prevention and control. Foot-And Mouth
Disease (FMD) is a highly infectious viral disease of cloven-hoofed species
characterized by fever and vesicles in the mouth and on the muzzle, teats, and feet. In a
susceptible population, morbidity approaches 100%. The disease is rarely fatal except in
young animals. Cattle are the most susceptible. Domestic pigs are important hosts and
are very effective in propagating the disease. In sheep and goats, the clinical
manifestations of infection are usually less severe than in cattle and pigs. FMD is
caused by an aphthovirus of the family Picornaviridae. There are 7 immunologically
distinct serotypes: A, O, C, Asia 1, and SAT (Southern African Territories) 1, 2, and 3.
Within each serotype, there are a large number of strains that exhibit a spectrum of
antigenic characteristics; therefore, more than one vaccine strain for each serotype,
particularly O and A, is required to cover the antigenic diversity. Strains are
characterized by their genomic relationships and their antigenic similarities with
established vaccine strains.
Aims and Objects-

The main objectives of The All India Coordinated Research Project for
Epidemiological Studies on Foot and Mouth Disease are-
(i) To conduct systematic epidemiological studies on Foot and Mouth Disease to
assess the geographical distribution and seasonal occurrence of the different types
and sub type of the virus causing the disease in the region.
(ii) To assess the role of various factors associated with the origin, course and
development of the disease and losses caused by disease and impact and
monitoring of vaccination.

SECTION-IX
SLAUGHTER HOUSES
PRINCIPLES GOVERNING FUNCTIONING OF SLAUGHTER HOUSES-

In Madhya Pradesh all the slaughter houses are established, maintained and run
by local authority.viz, Nagar Nigam/ Nagar palika / Nagar parishad / or Gram Panchayat.
Local government authority delegate the power to follow and act according to the
instructions contained in different acts and amendments made therein from time to time,
and exercise such powers, as delegated-
Madhya Pradesh Nagar Nigam Adhiniyam, 1956,
Madhya Pradesh Nagar Palika Act, 1961,
The slaughter of animals act (the central provinces Act IV of 1915) 1915, and
meat, food products order, 1973,
Madhya Pradesh agricultural cattle preservation Act, 1950,
Madhya Pradesh Govansh Vadh Pratishedh Adhiniyam, 2004,
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (59 of 1960)
Personal Hygiene- Persons who come into direct or indirect contact with edible parts of
animals or meat in the course of their work should maintain appropriate personal
cleanliness and behavior, and should not be clinically affected by communicable agents
likely to be transmitted by meat. Persons who come into direct or indirect contact with
edible parts of animals or meat should maintain an appropriate standard of personal
cleanliness and wear protective clothing appropriate to the circumstances.
Healthy and Clean Animals- Contamination of meat with bacteria takes place during
slaughter and dressing and continues right through until the time it is eaten. Moreover,
many chemicals compounds are used in animal production process and some of these
have potential to end up as a residue in meat. Presence of microbial and chemical
agents in meat may result in illness. It is therefore best to proceed with extreme care
along the route from shed to shackle. In wholesome meat production, healthy and clean
animals are the primary requirement. The livestock marketing process involves sorting,
loading on to trucks, transportation, weighing, driving etc. During this process animals
are exposed to various kinds of stress and in severe conditions results in higher weight
loss, bruising and hemorrhage, skin blemish, broken bone and conditions like Pale soft
exudative (PSE) and Dark firm dry (DFD) Meat. Duration and frequency of handling,
Volume - I Page 100

condition of the vehicle, stocking density and care during transport are important factors
determining the level of stress on animals and quality of the meat. After arriving to
slaughterhouse, animals should be given sufficient period to recover from stress. The
lairages should be designed to facilitate adequate watering, washing and disinfections of
animals. Water should be provided at all times and food when necessary. Holding
animals in lairages without adequate litter and / or drainage can result in faecal soiling of
the skin.
Hygienic Meat Harvesting- Hygienic and scientific meat harvesting involves pre-
slaughter care of food animals, stunning, careful slaughter and dressing ,
decontamination of carcass with pressurized potable water followed by chlorinated water
spray, cooling carcasses as soon as possible after weighing, cutting / deboning of
carcass after 24 hours chilling in climatized rooms (12-15°C), packing, etc. Only
refrigerated transport can be considered adequate. Freezing (–22°C) retains the natural
quality of meat for longer time.
Zoonosis- It should be kept in mind that more than 300 diseases of diverse etiology
have been recognized which can be transmitted to human beings. Zoonosis is common
and the diseases they cause can be serious. Caring for the health of animals is the first
important step in preventing zoonosis. Practicing good personal hygiene, wearing
protective clothing and undertaking vaccination where appropriate, can minimize the risk
of some animal-borne diseases affecting people. Some people are more susceptible to
disease than others. Most can overcome exposure to diseases provided they are
healthy and their immune system is functional. Higher risk groups include people on
Immuno-suppressive treatments, diabetics, alcoholics, HIV-infected people and
pregnant women. Specific occupational groups may also be at higher risk of zoonotic
infections. Meat workers, farmers, wildlife workers and Veterinarians, who have close
contact with animals, may have increased exposure to diseases like Q-fever and
Leptospirosis. Anyone working with or handling animals should take precautions to
minimize the risk of infection. Because different zoonotic diseases behave differently,
avoiding specific infections requires an individual approach. A few straight forward
practices can provide a high level of general protection.
Vaccination for people- Vaccines are available for some zoonotic diseases and they
should be made use of. Abattoir workers, farmers and Veterinarians should seek advice
on Q fever vaccination.
Personal protection- Gloves, boots and aprons or overalls should be worn when
handling animals. Cover cuts and scratches with waterproof plasters.
Maintenance of Animal Health- Farm biosecurity and animal health programmes,

including the use of vaccines, plays an important role in reducing the risk of some
Volume - I Page 101

zoonotic diseases. Pet owners should make sure their animals are healthy and regularly
dewormed private Veterinarians can provide advice on treatments. The details regarding
biosecurity is appended at Appendix-36.
Care when immuno-suppressed- People with depressed immunity whether due to

illness or medical treatments, should avoid all exposure to zoonotic diseases.
Control of pest animals- Animals such as rats or feral pigs can carry zoonotic diseases
and control programs will reduce the likelihood of transmission to people.
Abattoir Waste Management- During the process of slaughter and dressing lot of
waste is generated in slaughterhouses. Efficient management of waste management will
protect public health and will also improve the acceptability of the meat production
activities among the adjacent residential population.
Waste management plan- Each abattoir should have a waste management plan which
stipulates the procedures for collection, treatment and disposal of solid and liquid waste.
Such waste management plans must have the approval of Pollution Control Board.
Collection and utilization of blood- Blood is the single major component contributing
to pollution if allowed to flow down the drain. Hence, blood should not be mixed with
wastewater. It should be collected separately and treated by cooking, sun drying or dry
rendering depending upon volume of blood, as it has the highest level of BOD.
Effluent handling- Every service abattoir should have an effluent treatment plant of
appropriate capacity for treatment of liquid waste. For small and medium sized abattoirs,
land based effluent treatment may serve the purpose. Whereas, for larger capacity
slaughterhouses, effluent treatment plants are obligatory.
Collection & disposal of type I waste (Vegetable matter)- Meat handlers have to be
trained in proper method of emptying of rumen and collection of paunch manure under
solid waste management programmes. Solid waste derived from lairages (left over feed
and fodder material and sweepings of dung and faecal material) and paunch manure
from slaughter hall is ideally disposed by composting and vermi- composting. This
should be carried out by local bodies.
Collection and disposal of type II waste (Animal matter)- Processing of small

quantities of type II waste will be difficult. Hence, a proper system for organized
collection of solid waste originating from animal tissues such as dead animals,
condemned carcasses and meat, inedible byproducts from the service abattoir and
waste from retail stalls need to be put in place. Collected animal matter needs to be
collectively processed in a dry rendering plant of appropriate size. Appropriately
Volume - I Page 102

designed four/three wheeler van must be used for collecting solid waste from retail stalls
daily. The operating cost of the van may be recovered by charging monthly fees from
the retail stalls.
Transportation of Meat Animals- Having produced healthy livestock in good conditions

and as clean as possible, it is necessary to keep them free from contamination during
the subsequent movement to the point of slaughter. It is of equal importance that they
be kept free from injury, stress, loss of weight and disease during the journey. For all
these reasons it is essential that livestock be slaughtered as close as possible to the
point of production in order to avoid long journeys.
Loading and unloading- Loading and unloading are often the most stressful parts of
the transport process, for both animals and handlers. A proper loading ramp, especially
if a lorry is being used, is essential. However, very steep ramps are undesirable
because they distress the animals may lead to injuries through falling. The time can be
adjusted in early morning during summer and later morning during winter season. It
allows them to browse on indigenous grass or shrubs and have access to water en
route. So the animals suffer minimum weight loss or shrinkage due to travel. Transport
by trucks is no doubt comfortable but the vehicles should be suitably constructed for
carrying different species of animals and must permit careful loading and unloading of
animals. Distance up to 500 Kms or 12-15 hours journey may be negotiated by road
truck. If the journey requires to be continued for more than 12 hrs, the animals should be
unloaded and offered sufficient feed and water.
Meat Inspection- All food animals (Buffaloes, Sheep, Goats, Pigs, etc.) are to be
slaughtered for production of meat at slaughterhouses authorized by Corporations,
Municipalities, Panchayats etc. As per the direction of Supreme Court of India, all the
slaughterhouses are to be modernized scientifically following norms of Pollution Control
Boards, Animal Welfare Board, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India etc. It is
mandatory that all the food animals are inspected by a qualified Veterinary Doctor who
is registered by Veterinary Council of India with the assistance of some trained Meat
Inspectors for the production of hygienic and wholesome meat. The main objectives of
meat inspection are-1) to protect the consumers from zoonotic diseases through
consumption or handling of meat-2) to protect slaughter personnel and 3) to protect
animal health. It includes Ante mortem Inspection and Postmortem inspection.
Ante mortem examination- is the examination of the live food animals (Buffaloes,
Sheep, Goats, Pigs, Poultry, etc.) before slaughter so that only healthy and
physiologically sound animals are slaughtered for human consumption. It is done in
pens where proper lighting and ventilation are available. All animals are rested for 24
hours only allowed for slaughter. Animals should not be fed for at least 12 hours before
slaughter. However abundant water should be provided. It is done on the day of arrival
Volume - I Page 103

and also before slaughter. Identification of animals is very important which is done
through traceability. It is done while the animals are in rest and motion. During ante
mortem examination, the abnormalities like physical exhaustion, changes in posture,
behavior, gait, abnormal structure in abdomen, abnormal discharges from nose, mouth,
rectum, protrusions, high body temperature, abnormal pulse rate, respiration etc are
recorded. All the fit animals are passed for slaughter. All the unfit animals are
categorized as
(a) Dead animals.
(b) Diseased animals.
(c) Slaughter authorized under special conditions.
(d) Delayed slaughter.
(e) Casualty slaughter and
(f) Emergency slaughter.
Postmortem examination- The examination of dressed carcasses and their organs

(heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, intestines etc.) immediately after slaughter for
providing wholesome meat to consumers. It is done by visual examination, palpation,
incision and use of laboratory tests. The carcass is examined for nutritional status,
bruising, discolouration, edema, swelling and other deformities, abnormalities of bone
and musculature, abnormal odour, deformities in pleura and peritoneum etc. The
carcass is also examined for satisfactory bleeding and setting of the carcass. After
thorough postmortem examination, the carcass is passed for human consumption or
condemned. All the passed carcasses are stamped indicating the consumers about its
validity.
Pre Slaughter Care and Handling of Meat Animals- Pre-slaughter care, handling and
transport of meat animals are very important for production of wholesome meat. The
process of production of wholesome meat starts from farm and continues till the meat
reaches the consumer‟s kitchen (farm to fork approach). The production of carcasses of
high hygienic standards demands sound husbandry methods, which pay close attention
to animal health as well as cleanliness in the final stages of fattening in the farm.
Livestock receiving area- It is the area where animals are received. Receiving area
must have watering, feeding and animal inspection facilities. Animals are to be
inspected by a Veterinarian. Healthy animals are sent to lairage while sick and injured
animals are to be sent to isolation pen.
Lairage- Place where animals are provided rest before slaughter. Rest is to be provided
up to 24 hours to overcome the physiological stress involved in transportation of
animals. Sheep have to be kept off feed up to 12 hours before slaughter in lairage to
reduce the gut contents thereby reducing the chances of contamination during dressing
of carcasses. Space requirement for lairaging of sheep is 0.6 m2 per animal.
Volume - I Page 104

Slaughter hall- Premises where stunning, bleeding and dressing of carcasses takes
place in the abattoir. Animal need to be stunned before slaughter for painless killing. To
ensure proper and safe stunning a restrainer has to be provided which will hold the
animals firmly while stunning. Stunning will be followed by bleeding which has to be
done on a bleeding trough of 1.1 to 1.2 m width for small ruminants. Dressing of the
animals has to be done on rail for ensuring hygiene. Height of the overhead rails has to
be about 2.7 m at bleeding area and 2.3 m at dressing area.

SECTION- X
INSTITUTE OF ANIMAL HEALTH AND VETERINARY BIOLOGICALS, RASALPURA,
MHOW (M.P.)
General-
Large scale manufacture and standardization of Veterinary Biologicals (Vaccines,
Antisera, etc.) is a highly specialized branch. The technology is based on the
development carried out in the fields of microbiology, immunology, bio-physics,
biochemistry, pharmacy and other branches of engineering such as mechanical,
electrical, refrigeration, electronics, high vacuum and environmental control. The
production of biologicals is governed by the Drug and Cosmetic Act and the security and
Volume - I Page 107

the interests of workers by the provisions of fundamental rules and such other rules
prescribed Government of Madhya Pradesh from time to time.
Technical personnel engaged in this branch are basically graduates in Veterinary
Science from a recognized university or institution in India or abroad. At least 4 to 6
months training in the techniques of manufacture of biological products from the IVRI
and about 2 years experience of production of biological products or post graduate
degree in bacteriology/ virology (Madhya Pradesh Gazette 27th July 1973). Besides
further specialization is achieved by deputing some officers to short term pin pointed
courses for particular product or technique. Temperamentally, the job needs composed,
and devoted workers who should have research aptitude and a craze for constant
learning. The establishment of the institute of animal health and Veterinary Biologicals
has therefore been separated from the Civil Veterinary department, for the purpose of
seniority. The institute coordinates the activities of the field officers and the institute.
History:
An institute was set-up in April 1949 at Gwalior as Madhya Bharat Vaccine and
serum Institute, Gwalior to fulfill the needs of Veterinary Biologicals of the then Madhya
Bharat state. A Major portion of it was shifted in the buildings of college of Veterinary
Science And Animal Husbandry Cum Livestock Research Institute, Mhow with the
objectives of undertaking production of all the required biologicals for the entire re-
organised Madhya pradesh and to coordinate research activities with the college. The
Institute was named as Biological Production Division, Mhow during this phase.
Consequent upon the establishment of Jawaharlal Nehru krishi Vishwavidyalaya,
Jabalpur in Dec 1964, the college of Veterinary Science along with the livestock
research activities was transferred to the Vishva Vidhyalaya and the Biological Products
Division was retained by the Veterinary And Animal Husbandry Department. It was
decided in a meeting of all the officers I/c of Biological products in the country held at
Delhi, that all the Institutes preparing Veterinary Biologicals in this country should be
uniformly named as institute of Animal Health and Veterinary Biologicals. It was
envisaged that in addition to its role of production it should be useful in the area of
product development research and imparting short courses for the research of field
workers.

CHAPTER-IV
SECTION-I
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY DEVELOPMENT
Animal husbandry is a major component of agriculture supporting majority of the

rural population. It plays an important role in the rural economy by providing gainful
employment to a large number of rural masses thereby helping to raise their economical
condition. Thus Animal husbandry as a whole and livestock in particular has a vital role
in rural economy. It is practiced as subsidiary occupation to agriculture. It also plays an
important role with reference to land and water management. It provides partial addition
to food basket of man in terms of milk, meat, wool and eggs. Our State has good
population of indigenous livestock, but of low productivity.
The department aims at the development of Cattle wealth of the State in order to
bring about progressive improvement in the milk production and motive power for
agricultural operations. Cattle breeding farms/ Sheep and goat breeding farm/ Key
village Scheme/ Intensified key village blocks/ intensive cattle development projects/
improved dairy cattle production programme/ controlled cattle breeding programme/
special live-stock production programme (Calf rearing) etc. are the major Schemes/
Programmers functioning for dealing with the problems of cattle improvement covering
all the aspects viz. breeding, management, feeding, fodder, pasture development, its
preservation and conservation, sexual health control, disease control and marketing.
STATE LIVESTOCK BREEDING POLICY-

The proposed breeding policy is focused on the following main points-
1. Existing breeding policy of the state.
2. Broad outlines of National Cattle Breeding Policy.
3. Agro climate conditions based breeding zones.
4. Utility of cattle - buffalo and small animals.
5. Marketing facilities, existing.
6. Animal bio-diversity conservation strategy (For preservation of pure
indigenous breeds).
7. A.I. through frozen semen in remote areas where A.I. facility is not available
natural service through selected breeding bulls.
(A) Breeding Policy in general - cattle and buffalo

1. Selective breeding in their home tract of pure indigenous draught breeds as
Malvi in home land of Malva tract, Nimari in western Nimar region and
Kenkatha in Ken Valley of district Panna. Thus Malvi is to be preserved and
bred in Shajapur, Ujjain and Rajgarh districts.
2. Up gradation of local non- descript cattle by known indigenous breed like
Hariana, Tharparkar and Sahiwal in selected pockets of rural area of
Volume - I Page 129

respective breeding zones.

3. Cross breeding of local non- descript breeds with exotic breeds with like
Jersey in urban, sub urban, milk shed area in general and Holstein Frisian in
urban area for commercial breeding purpose. Crossbreeding in rural areas
may be taken up if pashupalak desires.
4. Exotic blood level should be maintained at the level of 50% in general.
However, if progressive pashupalak of organized farms desire for 62.5%,
facility should be provided.
5. Buffalo breeding with Murrah in general but in selected area of western M.P.
adjoining to south Gujarat, Jafarabadi may be introduced if pashupalak
desire.
6. Breeding with Bhadavari in Bhind and adjoining of Bhind district in north
Madhya Pradesh.
GOAT-
1. Selective breeding with Jamunapari breed in northern part of the state.
2. Up gradation with Jamunapari in rest of the M.P., except western part of the
state.
3. Breeding with Barbari breed in western part of the state may be introduced.
4. Cross breeding of goat with exotic Boer goat breed to be undertaken to
improve the productivity of Goat breeds.
SHEEP-
Sheep breeding is concentrated in few districts of M.P. In existing policy cross
bred Corroidale and there after crossbred Rambulate were used to up-grade the local
breed of sheep. Therefore, it is being proposed to continue same breeding policy of
sheep in the state.
PIG-
In the state breeding with Middle White Yorkshire and Large White Yorkshire are
being practiced. In the present policy it is being proposed to continue the existing policy.
Apart from that colored pigs may be used if pig keeper desire.
STATE LIVESTOCK BREEDING POLICY IN DETAIL- CATTLE & BUFFALO-

(Breeding zone - wise Cattle Buffalo Breeding policy of the state)
The state has been divided in to seven breeding zones and each zone further
subdivided to
(1) Urban.
(2) Plain areas.
(3) Plateau areas with pastoral type of farming.
Volume - I Page 130

ZONE- I NORTH RIVER VALLEY

The area extends over the districts of Bhind, Morena, Gwalior and part of Datia.
The soil is fertile, alluvial and rich in minerals suitable for growing wheat, rice,
sugarcane, mustered etc.
Cattle found in this area are mostly of Hariana type, dual-purpose breed. They are
maintained mostly under semi stall fed conditions. The area has more or less the same
agro climatic conditions as that of the home land of Hariana breed. In past, up gradation
with Hariana were practiced in this zone. Therefore breeding policy for this zone is
proposed as up gradation with Hariana followed by selective breeding with Hariana,
crossbreeding in urban, sub-urban area may be done if pashupalak desire.
ZONE-II THE LATERITIC BELT OF SHIVPURI

The area covers the whole of Shivpuri and part of Guna district. Soil is mostly
mixed red and black showing deficiency of minerals. Cattle are generally red in colour,
compact bodied, square built moderate in size, good for tillage operation but poor
yielder. This zone was further sub-divided in three sub zones viz urban and sub-urban
area, rural plain area and high lands. Shivpuri district comes under milk shed area
hence cross breeding with exotic breed like Jersey was taken up in this district. No
change in breeding policy for this zone is proposed. However according to general
breeding policy type of exotic breed and stabilization of exotic blood may be maintained
in Urban pockets.
ZONE-III MALVA PLATEAU-

The area includes the district of Guna, Vidisha, Raisen, Sehore, Rajgarh,
Shajapur, Ujjain, Ratlam, Indore, Dewas, North Jhabua and Dhar district. Soil is mostly
medium black cattle are mostly Mavi, reputed draught breed in the country. This zone
can be divided in to two sub zone as:
(1) Home land of Malvi comprising Mahidpur tehsil of Ujjain district and
Khilchipur, Jeerapur of Rajgarh district, Agar and Shajapur tehsil of Shajapur
district.
(2) Sub zone with Malvi and their sheds in the rest of the tract.
In the past selective breeding in home tract with Malvi and cross breeding with
jersey and Holstein Frisien in urban and semi urban areas were practiced. Now it is
proposed to continue selective breeding with Malvi in entire sub zone -I (i.e home land
of Malvi) including remaining tehsil of these districts. This breed should be preserved
area in district. Shajapur Ujjain and Rajgarh, whereas in milk shed and urban area of
sub zone-II cross breeding with exotic breed like jersey, Holstein Frisien should be
continued and up gradation with Malvi / Tharparkar in rural and suburban areas should
be continued as of existing breeding policy in this zone, since Thari breed is close to
Malvi in color and confirmation and is a reputed dual purpose breed.
Mandsaur district is now in the milk shed area. In past, cross breeding was done
in this district except in Malahargarh, Neemuch, Jawad, Garoth, Bhanpura and Manasa
Volume - I Page 131

where up gradation with Gir breed was practiced. Hence, It should be continued in
foresaid blocks of district. Mandsaur and in part of Jhabua and Sheopur district.
Zone-IV NIMARI TRACT-

This zone cover Alirajpur tehsil of Jhabua district., Kukshi and Manavar of Dhar
district, whole of Khargone and Khandwa district, Harda tehsil of Hoshangabad district,
Bhensdehi and Betul tehsil, of Betul district, soil is mostly medium black in the valley to
light black on higher altitudes. Gravelly soil on the mountain tops. The cattle of this Tract
are Nimari draught breed.
Part of this zone is under milk shed area hence cross breeding in urban, sub
urban areas. Selective breeding with Nimari in the western Nimar and up-gradation with
Tharparkar in rest of the area were recommended in past. Therefore, it is proposed to
continue same policy in this tract under proposed breeding policy in general as
mentioned earlier. However Nimari breed should also be preserved & bred in district
Khandwa (East Nimar).
Zone-V Western Vindhya plateau and Narmda valley-

This zone cover Narsingpur district, Hoshangabad district except Harda tehsil,
and whole of Sagar district. Damoh tehsil of Damoh district, Jabalpur district, Amarwara
tehsil of Chhindwara district and whole of Seoni district except Korai block. The soil
ranges from clayae loam to clayae and deep black soil. Cattle in this area are of non-
descript type.
As these area are covered under milk shed area, hence cross breeding in urban,
sub urban; roadside area and up-gradation with Thari breed were practiced in rural area.
No change in existing breeding policy is proposed; hence existing policy should be
continued under proposed breeding policy in general along with up gradation with
Sahiwal may also be performed in rural area adjoining to Jabalpur district.
Zone–VI Eastern Vindhya Plateau-

This area extends to the Hata tehsil of Damoh district, Murwara tehsil of Jabalpur
district, whole district of Rewa, Satna, Panna, Chhatarpur & Tikamgarh districts and
northern part of Sidhi district. In the Ken Valley Kenkatha breed of cattle reputed for its
draught qualities especially to the rocky and hilly area in northern region. However,
sheds of this breed extend to most of the tract area.
In the present policy selective breeding with Kenkatha in river ken valley (Ajaigarh
tehsil of district. Panna) should be continued. Kenkatha breed should be preserved
breed in whole district of Panna. Apart from that cross breeding in the urban, sub-urban
area and up gradation with Haryana is recommended for rural areas of this Zone,
proposed breeding policy in general should also be pursued in this zone area.
Volume - I Page 132

Zone–VII Eastern Satpura Plateau-

This area extended from Balaghat and Lakhnadon tehsil to the east and continues
up to Shadol, Umaria district. Cattle breeds in area are non-descript and comparatively
poorer. Cross breeding in urban/ sub urban area and up gradation with Thari continues
in rural area of this zone. It is proposed to continue cross breeding in urban, sub urban
area and in addition to that Thari, Sahiwal male may be used for up gradation especially
in area adjoining to western part of Chhattisgarh state.
Buffalo-
(I) Buffalo breeding with Murrah in entire state except in few pockets should be
continued for up gradation of local buffaloes.
(ii) Bhadvari buffalo are found in district. Bhind These buffalo are mostly
maintained by production of ghee due to high fat percent of milk (12-14%)
this breed is in verge of extinction, thus from bio-diversity conservation
viewpoint it should be preserved. Therefore, in the district Bhind and
adjoining area breeding with Bhadavari is being proposed in the present
policy.
(iii) There is demand of Jafrabadi buffalow in western part of the state.
Therefore, in selected area adjoining to south Gujarat up gradation of local
buffalo with Jafrabadi may be introduced if pashupalaks desire.
STATE BREEDING POLICY FOR SMALL ANIMALS

Goat-
The goats are concentrated mostly in Tikamgarh, Chhattarpur, Shivpuri, Bhind,
Gwalior, Mandsaur, Dhar, Jhabua, Sidhi, Chhindwara and Balaghat districts. The goats
of northern parts of the state are bigger in size. The goats found in south west area of
the state are medium in size and smaller size goats are found in eastern part of the
state.
In existing breeding policy breeding Jamunapari in general is practiced almost in
the state, the following goat breeding policy is proposed for the state.
i. selective breeding with Jamunapari breed in northern part of the state.
ii. Up gradation with Jamunapari in rest of the M.P. except in western part of the
State.
iii. In western part of M.P. comparatively smaller size of goats are found hence
breeding with Barbari breed in western part of the state may be introduced
as goat keeper desire. Cross breeding of local goat with the Boer breed (goat
of south Africa) is proposed to be undertaken to improve the quality of local
goat population.
Sheep-
Sheep is concentrated mostly in Mandsaur, Ratlam, Shivpuri, Datia, Bhind and
Chhattarpur district. In existing policy cross bred Corroidale and thereafter crossbred
Volume - I Page 133

Rambulate were used to upgrade the local breed of sheep. Therefore it is proposed to
continue same breeding policy of Sheep in the State. One sheep farm would be
continuing and remaining two farms will be converted into goat farms. A departmental
committee will review the classification of the farms.
Pig-
The pigs are concentrated mostly in Balaghat, Jabalpur, Rewa, Satna, Chhattarpur,
Tikamgarh, Bhind, Gwalior and Datia Districts.
In the state breeding with Middle White Yorkshire and Large White Yorkshire is
practiced. In the present policy it is proposed to continue the existing policy. Colured
pigs like Jabalpur black and Chamukha may be introduced, as desired by the keepers.

specific” and “need based” approaches taking into account variable Argo
climatic and socio-economic conditions. Efforts will be made to avoid
adoption of a uniform approach for the whole state and all types of livestock.
(2) Keeping in view India‟s commitment to „Millennium development goals‟ and
the fact that majority of livestock owners are smallholder, resource poor
families, special attention will be paid to help them overcome constraints
faced in improving productivity of livestock and take advantage of the
increasing demand for livestock products.

get desired benefit of developmental interventions. Efforts will be made to
Volume - I Page 135

check losses and maintain livestock in healthy state and to create awareness
amongst owners about animal health related aspects.
(3) Making available disease diagnostic, prophylactic and curative services to
combat diseases to livestock owners in all the parts of the state on an
expanding scale and by strengthening the existing infrastructure and through
new initiatives like developing an eVET network.
(4) Special attention will be paid to diagnose cause of losses and to monitor
emerging diseases especially those of zoonotic importance.
(5) Surveillance and monitoring of commonly occurring diseases will be
organized to forecast occurrence of diseases, plan control measures, monitor
result and prepare a status report on livestock health.

SECTION-III
Key Village Scheme
Livestock farms an integral part of our agricultural economy. After Independence,

during the First Five Year Plan (1951-56) Key Village Scheme programme was launched
by Governemnt of India. This was initially to cover a population of 10,000 breedable
cows and buffaloes at National level. Initially natural service was practised but later
Artificial Insemination (A.I.) was introduced at most of these Key Village Centres.
The cattle development activities in the beginning constituted with the distribution
of breeding bulls to interested cattle breeders to upgrade the quality of cattle. The
primary object of the scheme is to bring forth good pedigree type of cattle wealth and
that too within a short span. Therefore, it is a scheme for the development of cattle in
selected compact areas and provides for a multifaced approach to the problem by
simultaneous attention to breeding, feeding, disease control etc. The basic objective of
the scheme is the rapid multiplication of crossbred cattle for meeting the acute shortage
of high quality animals by grading up of the indigenous cattle population. The term Key
Volume - I Page 141

village is expressively means that the village holds the key to the successful cattle
improvement & can be achieved only by large scale work in villages where most of the
cattle breeding is carried on. The key village is an intensive cattle improvement unit
working in a compact area of the village or a group of contiguous villages having a total
population of about 1000 breedable cows and / or she buffaloes. All aspects of cattle
improvement, namely breeding, feeding etc. are attended to by the staff at the village.
Services offered by this scheme to the public through Key Village Units-
(i) Artificial Insemination.
(ii) Pregnancy diagnosis & Calf verifications.
(iii) Conduct calf rallies.
(iv) Livestock Insurance.
(v) Provide subsidy to the landless agricultural labours to rear female calves.
(vi) To identify and register elite females of the covered area.
(vii) To identify and register elite bulls of the covered area.
Artificial Insemination in cattle is carried out in all the Key Village Units (Sub
Centers). The animal brought is first examined for detection of heat. If proper heat is
detected the Artificial Insemination is done with appropriate semen straw. The details of
Artificial Insemination like type of semen, bull No., date & other relevant details are
recorded in the Artificial Insemination Hand book supplied to the farmers, by the
Department. A separate page is maintained for each and every animal maintained by
the farmers.
After 60 days from the date of last A.I., the animal can be examined per-rectum
for pregnancy diagnosis, and if found positive for pregnancy then it is recorded in the
A.I. hand book of the farmer and the tentative date of calving is also given and the same
is also recorded in the A.I. register of the Key Village Units. If the animal is not pregnant
then the animal is treated wherever necessary to bring the animal back to heat for doing
A.I. and the owner is advised accordingly as per case is concerned. When the calf is
born it is again recorded both in the hand book and the Key Village Unit‟s calf born
register. The female calves born will be inducted for the calf rally and into other schemes
like the Calf Rearing Scheme etc.
Calf ralies are also organised regularly. The objective behind to conduct the calf
rallies in every Key Village Unit annually is that today‟s calves make up tomorrow‟s
breeding stock. The farmers are encouraged to care for their young stock which results
in the building up of a good future producing stock. A Calf Rally is conducted at key
Village Unit of each commune. The cross bred female calves born out of Artificial
Insemination done by the department is brought to the Rally for selection. A
simultaneous de-worming campaign conducted on the same day by the department also
helps in improving the health of calves.
To control the problem of cattle Infertility, this scheme is being implemented.
Infertility in cattle occurs due to various reasons like reproductive diseases, hormonal
imbalance, malnutrition and deficiency of certain vitamins / minerals etc. The farmers, in
spite of repeated inseminations, find that their cattle remain infertile thus resulting in loss
Volume - I Page 142

of production. The farmers find it difficult to maintain these unproductive cattle, incurring
heavy loss in feeding them.

SECTION-IV
Intensive Cattle Development Project
The first systematic attempt in India to improve the quality of cattle was the `Key
Village Scheme' initiated during the First Five Year Plan. The programme was
invigorated with the introduction of the Intensive Cattle Development Projects (ICDPs) in
1965. Intensive Cattle Development Projects were designed to provide cattle owners a
package of improved practices and envisaged intensive coverage of 1 lakh cows and
buffaloes of breedable-age for achieving marked impact on milk production. The ICDPs
were located in selected areas which had good potential and conditions to respond to
cattle development programmes. The main objectives of this programme are:-
(i) Developing milch cattle.
(ii) Increasing milk production by providing technical input services.
(iii) Creating infrastructure to improve procurement, processing and marketing
of milk in a cost effective manner.
(iv) Ensuring remunerative prices to the milk producers, by strengthening dairy
cooperative societies at village level.
(v) Generate additional employment opportunities.
(vi) Improving social, nutritional and economic status of residents of
comparatively disadvantaged areas.
Thus larger inputs are provided for the attainment of cattle development work on
mass scale for the better socio-economic status of cattle breeders through prosperous
and more milk producing cattle and by cultivating nutritious fodder, its conservation and
preservation.

SECTION-XII
EMBRYO TRANSFER TECHNOLOGY PROJECT
MP is a state where huge no of nondescript cattle are present whose production

potential is very low there by animals are not able to give proper economic return to the
farmers. To improve the economic return rate form the cattle the nondescript female is
bred through artificial insemination to a proven male of high milk producing genetic
capacity thus the progeny shows high milk production quality. The success of this
process depends on the availability of good pedigreed bulls of exotic breeds i.e. jersey
and HF and high milk producing capacity indigenous cattle breed like Sahiwal and Gir.
Current status of the bull availability is very poor and in other states at the same time
such high pedigreed bulls are very costly. Thus a huge amount of state‟s money is
drained out in other states.
Embryo transfer technology is the scientific method of increasing the productivity
of the female. In this method the female with production capacity of producing one off
spring in a year is considered to have the best reproductive performance but through
this technology the production capacity of the female reproduction is increased 10 times,
i.e. from a cow having good production capacity genes more no of embryos are
collected and transferred in local animals thereby we get calf of good genetic potential
from the foster mother of local breed. Male calf produced will be used in central semen
station for production of frozen semen, also that the selection pressure on the bulls for
production of frozen semen will be increased many folds helping to improve the
breeding genetics of the state animals.
The females produced will be used to develop the nucleus herd for production of
male and female calf in increased number through this technology. The females
produced further will be used to develop the nucleus herds in the state.
Embryo transfer technology will be used to conserve the native breeds of cattle
of the state which are pride of Madhya Pradesh, they are Malvi, Nimari and Kenkatha
cattle. Thus through this technique we will be able to produce high pedigreed bulls for
frozen semen production and develop the nucleus herd of high producing females.
Recently the Department has established an Institute to perform Embryo Transfer
at Bhopal. The work is in progress and the setting up of the infrastructure is going on.

(EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN ANIMAL SCIENCE)
SECTION-I
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims and objectives of education and training in Animal Science are-
(1) To improve the livestock and poultry by the application of latest technology is the
essential pre requisite for the creation of a sound and efficient system of education in
animal sciences. The animal science denotes the composite discipline having three
broad visions viz.
i. Veterinary Science.
ii. Animal Production.
iii. Animal Products technology.
(2) Scientific knowledge of improved animal husbandry practices and their judicious
application can provide great opportunities for improvement of live-stock and poultry
industry.
(3) Higher education by way of specialization, may it be a post graduate diploma,
degree and Ph.D. for extending vision in any one of the above three disciplines for
scientific approach to the field problems is a basic requirement. Considering the
importance of such specialized higher education in the state for better utilization in the
interest of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry.
The services of such specially trained / educated personnel, complete bio data of
all such persons shall be maintained for future use and optimum utilization of the
services of such personnel in the respective disciplines. The task mentioned in the
foregoing paras, need, other than the technical specialized personnel, a team of para
veterinarians (field assistants) for its proper and successful implementation.
(4) The owner of live-stock and poultry follow the conventional practices of animal
husbandry and therefore are unable to draw the maximum possible benefits out of it. It
will be hard to achieve success without their being fully conversant with the latest
scientific know how and its application and implementation accordingly.
(5) The characteristic feature of the growth of science is its continuing fragmentation
into specialized disciplines. The capabilities to carry out and attain aims involved in multi
disciplinary projects depend on quality and not merely the quantity of trained personnel.
Factors essential for attainment of objectives of multi-disciplinary projects are
excellence, relevance, participation and organization, where persons of adequate and
appropriate qualifications are not available, the first and foremost thing would be to
organize their training by way of specialized education.

Volume - I Page 189

SECTION-IX
POULTRY TRAINING SCHOOL
General- Poultry farming is possible in widely differing agro climatic environment as the
fowl possesses marked physiological adoptability. Requirement of small space, low
capital investment, quick returns from outlay and well distributed turnover throughout the
year, makes poultry farming remunerative in both rural and urban areas. The rearing of
poultry provides an excellent opportunity for gainful employment to idle or under
employed members of rural families because of the case with which poultry can be
handled even by women and children. Amongst farm animals, poultry is one of the
quickest and most efficient converters of plant products into food of high biological
value. Poultry litter also has a high manurial value. In view of this, the Government of
Madhya Pradesh through the veterinary department have implemented number of
poultry development schemes, where the farmers are given sufficient assistance both in
cash and kind to improve their income by poultry farming on scientific lines. Subsequent
to introduction of such schemes, it was felt necessary to train such farmers in poultry
husbandry practices so that they can draw maximum benefit out of the help so extended
to them in this regard. Similarly, for successful implementation of poultry development
schemes, it is essential to train the departmental workers / officers with the latest
developments and technology of poultry farming for further extension of knowledge,
technical guidance and help to the poultry farmers. With this background in view, the
poultry training school was established in the state by the department.
The main aims and objectives of poultry training are-
(1) To train the departmental officers / other staff engaged with the poultry
development schemes.
(2) To train the poultry farmers of the state in latest poultry husbandry
package of practices.
(3) To fulfill the above requirements three types of courses have been taken
up at these school.
(i) Three months, post graduate poultry husbandry course for
Veterinary Graduates.
(ii) One year poultry husbandry course for the Assistant Veterinary
Field Officer.
(iii) One month poultry husbandry course for poultry farmers of the
state.
(4) The prospectus, rules for admission, duration of course, facilities provided,
admissible stipend, syllabus of course, a brief curriculum general terms and
conditions, and the form of agreement bond, security bond for the farmers only
etc are appended at Appendix-85.
(5) A certificate to the candidates successfully completing the course is
awarded by the school.

SECTION-X
SHEEP TRAINING CENTRE
General- Sheep farming provides employment opportunities to a large section of the

population, particularly of the weaker sections of the community. Sheep rearing can be
introduced as a subsidiary occupation on a mixed farming basis in all agro climatic
regions excepting the heavy rainfall areas. Sheep can utilize sparse and low set
vegetation and their droppings improve the fertility of soil considerably. Penning of
sheep in harvested fields (sheep foldings) brings in additional income to the flock
owners. Since sheep rearing does not require any large investment in buildings and
equipments, it offers good scope for exploitation by the weaker section and thus the
basic contribution comprising of wool, mutton and organic for the soil forms a good
source of income for the weaker sections of society. In view of this the Government of
Madhya Pradesh through the Veterinary Department have implemented number of
sheep development schemes where the shepherd are given sufficient Assistance both in
cash and kind to improve their income by sheep farming on scientific lines. Subsequent
to introduction of such schemes it was felt necessary to train such shepherds in sheep
husbandry practices so that they can draw maximum benefit out of the help so extended

Demi official letter

This mode of correspondence should not be resorted to unless there are good
reasons for using it in preference to the ordinary official form of communication. Demi
official correspondence may properly be used to supplement and explain, with regard to
subsidiary points, personal opinions wishes or with regard to confidential matters which
may be neither expedient nor necessary to notice officially. This form of correspondence
may also be usefully employed in cases of great urgency to save time because the
officers addressed get seized of the matter directly without loss of time. Similarly, this
can be used in correspondence between Government officers for an interchange or
communication of opinion or information without the formality of the prescribed
procedure and also when it is desired that a matter should receive the personal attention

officer a case on which action has been delayed and official reminders have failed to
elicit a suitable reply.
A demi official communication is addressed personally to an officer by name. It is

graphics, video and sound, into one message. Some of the advantages of electronic
communication include fast transmission, wider coverage, low cost, convenience,
feedback exchange and general management operation. It involves other new tools of
communication and new ways of communicating. It adds a powerful platform capable of
significantly changing how a mix of options can be used, as well as creating new
channels of interaction. Email is useful for communication, marketing, promotion,
mobility, filtering and follow-up. Email is a tool that delivers messages instantaneously
and is accessible from nearly anywhere around the world.
Fax-
Fax (short for facsimile), sometimes called telecopying or telefax (the latter short
for tele-facsimile), is the telephonic transmission of scanned printed material (both text
and images), normally to a telephone number connected to a printer or other output
device. The advantage of a fax machine over email is that it sends a physical document

exceeds about 100 pages on any side) it should be bound by stitching together in the
middle the notes and correspondence in one cover and marked. Further action on the
subject is to be continued on a new volume of the same file both the covers of which
will be marked volume-II and so on. However for files in which the number of papers is
not likely to exceed 50 including both the notes and the correspondence a single cover
instead of the two covers should be used for the two portions i.e. „notes‟ and
„correspondence‟ should be tagged separately to the two flaps of the cover.
Volume - I Page 206

Numbering of pages-
Every page in each part of the file should be consecutively numbered in separate
series. Blank intervening pages if any should not be numbered.
Punching of papers-
Every paper should be punched at the left margin keeping appropriate distance to
lace it preferably in the middle. The punch hole should tally with the original punch holes
of the file and paper should then be tagged / laced to the file.
Serial Number of the communication-

and other details eg.
S.No. 4 pp 10.12/C
Letter no.45/III/ID/1985 dated 21.8.85 from ADVS, Indore
S.No. 5(1) pp 13/C
Letter no. 35/III/1985 dated 21.8.85
The name of the office, section / branch / cell and the subject of the file shall be
given on the top of the first page of the „Notes‟ portion before docketing the first serial.
Opening and numbering of a case file-

suitable subject and give it a serial number under the „minor Head‟ in the file register.
Bundle file-
Bundle file is that in which only returns and other papers received from time to
time on a particular subject are collected but no problem have to be registered minor
head wise in the file register.

one bundle file to be opened on the first day of the year and to be closed on the last day
of the year.
Volume - I Page 207

The file number to be given to a bundle file should be as follows “4/BF/II/1985”,

Where “4” is the S.No. of the bundle file in file register, “B.F.” is the abbreviation for
bundle file, “II” is the Major Head and “1985” is the year.
Monthly Bundle
No regular case file or bundle file should be instituted for a receipt which is of
ephemeral nature. Such miscellaneous papers should be placed in a “Monthly Bundle”

not be registered in the file register. However, minor head no, Major head no. and the
year should be indicated on the cover at the proper place preceded by the alphabets
M.B. as follows:- “MB/2/II/1985”.
Standing guard file-

In order that the Government instructions, circulars, notifications etc are easily
available for purposes of references, standing guard files, containing copies of such
instructions, notifications, circulars etc. on important subjects should be maintained in all
offices. The following instructions should be followed in this regard-
(i) The standing guard files shall be maintained subject wise in the head office
as well as in the sub offices for keeping at one place the copies of important
orders, instructions, circulars, notification etc. which are often required for

(iii) The standing guard file will not be given any case file number, it will only be
given a serial number.
(iv) It should contain in chronological order, the copies of orders, instructions,
circulars notifications etc on a particular subject. No correspondence shall
be kept in such files.
(v) As soon as a copy of certain orders etc is filed in the concerned standing
guard file necessary entries should be made in the index provided at the
beginning of the file and referencing is done.
(vi) Once a copy of orders etc is filed in the standing guard file, it should not be
removed for any purpose what so ever, and the file should be used only for
reference purpose. In case of necessity the reference circular, notification
can be copied form the standing guard file.
The volume of a standing guard file should not contain more than 200 pages and
as soon as this number is reached a second volume of the file should be maintained.
Important orders, instructions etc. from the head office, copies of which have to
be kept in the standing guard file in the subordinate offices, should be sent in duplicate
to the sub offices so that copies can be kept in these files without retyping.
Volume - I Page 208

The standing guard files shall be kept in the personal custody of the section head
of the concerned section/ branch/ cell at the head office, the branch head of the
concerned branch at the divisional office and the head of the sub offices. The officials
shall be responsible for the up to date and proper maintenance of the files.
During the office inspections conducted according to the roster of inspections, the
inspecting officer shall carefully check the standing guard files and record comments on
the maintenance of these files in the inspection notes.
Separate file for each district subject-

There should be a separate file for each district subject. If the subject of the file is
too wide or too general, there shall be a tendency to place it in receipt, dealing with
different aspects of the matters which apart from making the file unveildy shall impede
business. If the issues raised in a receipt or in the notes or in the orders passed thereon
go beyond be the original subject relevant extracts should be taken and dealt with
separately on new files.
File register-
A record of files opened during the calendar year shall be kept in a file register in
the form as appended at Appendix-106. Each file shall bear a number given to it in
accordance with the procedure mentioned in the foregoing sub heads viz. opening and
mentioned in the foregoing sub heads viz. opening and numbering of new file, bundle,
file, monthly bundle etc.
The file register shall be sub divided according to the minor heads allotted to a
separate section / branch / cell / office, sufficient pages being kept for each minor head
during the year.
Referencing and use of slips (flags)-

Referencing is the process of putting up and referring to connected records,
precedence, rules, regulations, books, or any other paper having a bearing on the case,
such papers shall be flagged with alphabetical slips to facilitate their identification.
The slips shall be pinned on the inside of the page, when a number of files or
papers on the same case are to be flagged, the slips should be pinned in such a manner
to appear as spread over the whole width of the file so that every slip is easily visible.
The slip PUD (Put Up Under Disposal) shall be attached to the papers, the
consideration of which is the subject matter of the file.
No slip shall be attached to any other paper except PUD in the current file.
However, any previous reference, if required to be mentioned, the S.No. of the
concerned page (reference) in the file and the note sheet no. of the relevant notes shall
be quoted in the margin in pencil eg. “page 6/H, page 20 .c.”. Not more than one
alphabetical slip should be attached to a record file or paper for reference.
It should be remembered that the slips are merely a temporary convenience for
the quick identification of papers and should be removed as soon as they have served
Volume - I Page 209

their purpose. To facilitate the identification of reference after the removal of slips, it is
necessary that the number of the files referred to should be quoted on the body of the
note and the number of the relevant page together with the letter of the slip attached
thereto indicated in the margin as In the body of notes (F.No. 120/ 10/ II/ 85) and in the
margin of the note (Flag A.P.-3/ Notes).
Linking of Files-
Linking of files on which the action is in progress shall, as far as possible be
avoided. As a general rule this shall be resorted to only when the files are inter-
connected and order have to be passed on them simultaneously. If any paper on a
current file is required for reference only in that case, relevant extract should be taken
from the former and placed on the later.
When files are linked, strings of the file board of the lower but not its flaps, shall
be tied around the upper file. The strings of the file board of flap of the upper file shall
be tied underneath it in a bow, out of the way. Each file thus shall be intact with all its
papers properly arranged on its file board.
Priority marking on files-

The three prescribed priority marking to be used on the files and papers are
„Urgent‟, „Immediate” and “Top priority” in the ascending order of priority.
The urgent is to be used for files and letters requiring attention without delay.
Files marked urgent should not be detained longer than 48 hrs by anybody.
Immediate slip is to be used only in cases of extreme urgency requiring instant
attention. Letters and files so marked at once be attended to by the person from whom
they are intended. Such files must be dealt with at once and in any case cannot be
detained longer than a day by any person.
Top priority slip should be used on files / papers calling for most immediate
attention / action.
Priority slip should be used with discrimination. A file may at one stage call for
immediate attention, but later it may cease to be of such importance. When that
happened the “immediate” “top priority“ should be removed and it should be considered
as it should have an urgent slip.
The use of any other distinctive slip (For nothing urgency of files / Papers) is
prohibited. The use of assembly slips regarding matters before the “Vidhan Sabha” shall
of course, continue.
Arrangement of paper as a case-

A case consist of a current file and any other file or paper put up for reference.

(iii) Correspondence containing the PUD.

(iv) Other papers referred to i.e. extracts from notes or correspondence of other
file, the Gazettes etc.
(v) Recorded files arranged in chronological order, the latest being place on the
top.
(vi) Routine notes or paper placed in a cover in chronological order.
SECTION-VIII

Recording is the process of closing a file after action on all the issues under
consideration there on has been completed.
When the assistant is satisfied that no further action is required to be taken on a
file, he shall put up to officer in charge, head of office, for his approval to the file being
recorded under one of the following classes-
(i) Class-„A‟- Files which are required to be kept permanently.

notes and papers should be removed. The remaining papers should than be stitched
together in the cover, notes first and then “correspondence”. The date of opening and
closing of the file classification, period of review and the year of elimination should be
indicated at the proper place provided on the file cover. As soon as this process is over,
the file shall be sent to the section / branch / cell head who shall after satisfying himself
that the file is complete in every respect, place his initials on the file cover at the place
provided. He shall then return the file to the assistant concerned. The recorded files

Appendix-107. The record keeper shall verify that all the files mentioned in the list have
been received, retain one copy of the list and return the other, duly signed as token of
receipt to the section / branch / cell concerned. The list thus retained by the record
keeper from time to time shall be filed section/ branch/ cell wise in separate file.
The record keeper shall also maintain a simple register in the form or reminder
diary in which a few pages shall be allotted to each future year. Files marked for review
in a particular year shall be entered in the portion of the register ear marked for that year
and shall be taken out for review in the appropriate years by referring the register.
Issue of record from record room-

To get a record from record room a requisition in the form as appended at
Appendix-108 shall be sent to the record keeper in duplicate. Both copies of the
requisition slip shall be forwarded to the record keeper through the section / branch / cell
head. The section / branch / head of record section shall order the issue of the record in

by the section branch / cell. The original requisition slip should then be filed in the
monthly bundle for the month and kept in the record room. The record keeper shall
submit a statement to the section head / branch head of the record section on the 15th of
every month showing the number of files outstanding against each section / branch /
cell for six months who shall see that the file are returned to the record room by the

room for elimination. Before destroying such file, the record keeper shall complete the
list of files and the register maintained by him.
The period prescribed for review of retention of a file or record should confirm the
year of its closing and not from the year of its commencement.
Preservation of Record and registers-

It is not possible to lay down any hard and fast rule as to the number of years
which a file should be retained before its elimination. The period depends on the nature
and contents of the file while Appendix-109 shows the periods for which various
registers should be preserved. Appendix-109 is not an exhaustive one and there might
be papers which may be required to be preserved for different periods. Under the
circumstances a file should not be marked mechanically for elimination. In marking
cases for record the object is to ensure that for the cases are retained a minimum period
of years necessary marking the year of elimination should, therefore bear relation to the
period during which later reference of the file is likely, due regard being given to the
need of avoiding the collection of unnecessary and useless files in the record room. The
section / branch head in consultation with the officer in charge / head of office should
periodically suggest period of retention for other types of cases which have not been
included in it. There is every likely hood that correspondence on new subjects might
take place, from time to time, and this will necessitate determination of period of
retention for such types of cases.
Maintenance and destruction of spare copies-

Each section / branch / cell shall keep in separate bundles, the spare copies of
important communications issued by it. These bundles should be examined every year
and all spare copies which are not likely to be required any longer should be destroyed

should be marked for retention till the next annual examination.
Responsibilities of record keeper-

The record keeper shall be personally responsible for the safe custody of all the
files under his charge. He shall see that all the records are in order and elimination is
carried out regularly according to the entries in the list of files. While eliminating a file, he
shall take out the file covers and send them to the stationary clerk for reissue.
He shall see that the records are arranged on the racks in proper order and that
soiled and torn out labels and covers of the files and boards at the top of the file packets
are replaced by fresh ones.
Shall see that the files are properly dusted regularly and proper precautions are
taken for their preservation from attacks of insects etc and decay.
Volume - I Page 213

possession. However the duplicate keys under his possession.
He shall comply with the requisition for the files and shall see that they are
retuned back to the record room without undue delay.
He shall not allow any person to enter the record room, except the persons on
duty.
Manner of destruction of papers-

The papers to be eliminated should normally be burnt before the officer in charge
of the record room/ head of office. In case the officer in charge/ head of office, considers
that certain papers are not of any importance or of a confidential nature, such papers
should be torn out and soaked in water, dried, and then sold as waste paper subject to
the observance of the procedure prescribed therefore.

The balance of the consumable articles should be workout at intervals which may
be convenient. The balance must however be workout at the end of the year.
Volume - I Page 249

The balance of the consumable goods at the end of the year should be carried
out to the new register which should be attested by the end of the year should be carried
out to the new register which should be attested by the head of the office.
Stocks books of Hospitals/ dispensaries other centers and other institute

subordinate to the head of the office:-
All articles received from the head of the office should be entered in one of the
stock books referred to in Appendix-45 or other prescribed registers.
The page number thereof should be quoted in the issue slips referred to paras.
The balances should be worked out at convenient intervals but in any case at the and of
the year.
The registers includes columns for issue. The columns of issue in respect of
medicine register should be filled from various prescriptions. For this purpose, the
quantity of medicines prescribed for issue from the hospital from time to time should be
totaled; sheets should be carefully preserved and produced for check when desired.
The issued of feed and fodder should confirm to the scale fixed by the controlling
officer all cases of deviation from the scale should be got approved from the controlling
officer
The other instruction are applicable mutatis mutandis to the accounts of
subordinate institution.
Check of store accounts and physical verification of stock-

It is the duty of the head of the office and other official entrusted with the custody
of the stores to keep the account record properly and conduct physical verification at
such intervals as may be necessary to ensure that balances are hold correctly.
All records relating to stores and stock should in addition be checked by the
official other than the one who maintains it to ensure that they are complete, the receipts
and issued are properly accounted for, and the entries there of are supported by the
relevant records and where ever a rate for consumption has been laid down the issue
are in conformity with the prescribed rate. Besides this it is also essential that the
balances are physically verified and result recorded.
There are two aspects of these check-

(i) The first, is the records and balances of the institutions subordinate to head of
the office e.g. hospitals / dispensaries whose head of the office is Deputy
Director Veterinary Services (District). In cases of such institution the
verification and checks should be done by the head of the office himself at
convenient intervals but it should be done at least every year. The head of the
office may entrust this work to a senior subordinate who is conversant with
stores like a Veterinary Assistant Surgeon subject to the condition that the
official so entrusted should not verify the stock of which he himself is in
Volume - I Page 250

charge. The verification of stock held in charge by said official should be done
by the head of the office himself.
The head of the office should subject the work of such official to check by
himself to ensure and satisfy himself that proper checking has been done.
(ii) The records relating to store and stock of the head of the office should be
checked by the controlling officer himself.
The balance held by the office of the head of the office in contradistinction to
these held by the institutions subordinate to it should also be subjected to physical
verification by the controlling officer. The controlling officer under his control subject to
the condition that such gazetted officer should not check the records nor physically
verify the balances of which himself is in charge or who is not conversant with the kind
of stores to be checked. The verification of the stock held by such gazetted officer
should be done by the controlling officer himself or he should nominate another gazetted
officer for this work.
The work of such officers should be subjected by the controlling officer to check
by himself to ensure and satisfy himself that proper checking has been done.
The controlling officer should also ensure that the heads of offices subordinate to
him conduct the requisite verification referred to in sub para (i) above.
Result of Physical Verification-

The official conducting physical verification should first prepare a list of articles
found on physical verification. This should then be compared with the balances as per
stores and stock books and result recorded. These report should be prepared in the
following form in duplicate:-
Name Date of Quantity Balance in the Excess Shortage Remarks

of physical found on stores and stock
Articles Verification physical book on the date
verification of physical
verification
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
One copy should be handed over to the official in charge whose balances have
been verified while the second copy should be retained by him or of the verification has
been done on behalf of the head of the office or controlling officer, it should be sent to
the head of the office or the controlling officer as the case may be.
The physical verification must always be made in the presence of the officer
responsible for the custody of stores or of a responsible person deputed by him.
The head of the officer or the controlling officer on receipt of the report should call
the explanation of the officer in charge where necessary and take further action in case
of shortages.
Shortages should be treated as loss cases and dealt with accordingly.
Volume - I Page 251

All cases of stores found in excess should be brought to account as receipts with
the remarks excess found to account as receipts with the remarks excess found on
stock verification. Shortages should be removed from the balances only when they are
written off under proper sanction. In such case a note should be kept shortage found on
stock verification in the issue column but no entry should be made in the quantity
column, so that the articles found short may continue to be borne on stock account. Until
the loss is adjusted either by a recovery or a sanctioned write off.
Annual Consolidated Account of Stores and Stock-

At end of every year head of the office should prepare a consolidated store and
stock account of his stores in the form given in Appendix-122. The forms of the Account
should be studied carefully and the figures from the various stores and stock register
transcribed therein.
The following further clarification are given in regard to filling in the form of annual
store and stock accounts.
(i) Under the column dead stock should be included Plant Machinery,
Fixtures, Vehicles, Instruments and articles of similar nature except
Furniture.
The column expendable and issuable articles should include medicines,
vaccine, sera, stationary forms and other consumable articles.
(ii) Receipt during the year include purchase affected whether paid or not
during the year as also stores and stock received on transfer from other
offices. The purchase price includes acquisition charges in bringing the
goods to the office or godown.
The column receipt of the various stores and stock register
including the value of livestock born during the year should be totaled and
the grand total transcribed in the annual store account.
(iii) The column excess as a result of valuation is primarily intended for animals
reared at Government farms whose value appreciates as a result of their
maintenance and feed at Government expense. The criterion to be applied
for such increase in value are laid down in the circulars of the Directorate
from time to time. The converse case is the Shortage as a result of
valuation which should also be worked out on the basis of instruction of
Directorate from time to time. Under these columns will appear the
livestock born in the previous year.
It may be noted that the value of livestock born during the year is
included under column receipt as explained in sub-para (ii) above.
(iv) As a result of physical verification some of the articles may be found
excess than the balances recorded in the accounts records. The value of
such articles should be entered in col- 4 of the form of consolidated
accounts.
Volume - I Page 252

(v) The column issue includes, sales, transfer under proper orders issue for
consumption under proper orders. The entries of issue in the stock register
should be totaled and their grand total transcribed in the consolidated
account.
(vi) The expendable and consumable articles of feed, fodder, medicines,
vaccine, stationery etc. issued to a subordinate institutions may not
necessarily be consumed by 31st March. Thus medicines etc. issued to
hospital by the Deputy Director Veterinary Services (District) might not be
consumed by 31st March. In order that the closing balances shown in the
annual store and stock account is correct, the head of the office should
obtain a list of expendable and issuable articles from all the subordinate
institution and deduct their value from the issue shown in his books so that
their value may appear in the closing balance.
(vii) The columns shortages as a result of physical verification, value of
unserviceable and obsolete articles and losses are self explanatory. The
value of such articles should only be reduced from the stock accounts
when orders of competent authority for the write off or disposal are
obtained. Till such orders are obtained, such cases should not be reduced
from balance and consequently entered in col. 7 to 9 and 11 of the
consolidated stock account, col-7 to 9 and 11 should only he filled in
respect of the articles for which orders of competent authority have been
received during the year.
(viii) The column depreciation is meant for the institutions which have been
declared as commercial or quasi commercial. Such institutions should work
out the depreciation at the prescribed rates and enter the same in col. 12.
(ix) The closing balances should be worked out: as opening balances plus total
of column 1 to 4 less total of column 6 to 12.
Submission of consolidate stores Account-

The consolidated store account should be submitted before 1 st May of every year
to the controlling officer. The controlling officer should consolidate the store accounts of
all the heads of offices subordinate to him and include in the consolidated account, the
store and stock account, held by his own office, the consolidated store account so
compiled should be sent to the Director of Animal Husbandry, M.P. before 15th May of
every year.
The Director Animal Husbandry M.P. will consolidate the store account of the
whole state and submit the same to Accountant General, M.P.
Reviews of the store Accounts surplus unserviceable and obsolete stores-

Every head of the office while preparing the consolidated annual store account
should conduct review of the stores and stock hold to satisfy himself that stores are not
held in excess of the requirements of reasonable period and steps are taken for the
Volume - I Page 253

disposal of surplus, obsolete or unserviceable store. Consumable stores remaining in

stock for over a year should be considered surplus unless, there is any good reason to
treat them otherwise.
In order to ensure the observance of the above rule he should make periodical
inspection. In the alterative he may ask the official entrusted with the physical
verification under para above to submit in addition to physical verification report, a report
about the stores which are surplus, unserviceable or obsolete, such report should be
critically reviewed by him and the head of the office must report such stores to the
authority competent to issue orders for their disposal.
The controlling officer should also while conducting physical verification or
arranging physical verification by gazetted officer prepare under para above a list of
surplus, unserviceable and obsoletes stores. A report of the such case should be made
to the authority competent to issue orders for their disposal.
Write off & disposal of stores-

The previous sanction of competent authority should be obtained to the write off
of all losses, deficiencies.
Whenever stores become unserviceable, obsoletes or surplus, they should be
declared as such and disposed of under the orders of an authority competent to
sanction the write off of a loss caused by deficiencies and depreciation equivalent to
their value. This procedure should be followed both in cases of normal wear and tear as
well as in cases wear and tear may be held to be abnormal. The authority competent to
order disposal should take into account the circumstances in which stores have become
unserviceable, obsolete or surplus.
Where the competent authority holds that stores have become unserviceable,
obsolete or surplus owing to normal wear and tear, no question of loss arises. Where
the competent authority holds that stores have become unserviceable obsolete or
surplus owing to negligence fraud etc. on the part of individual Government : servant, it
will be necessary to fix the responsibility for the loss and to devise remedial measures to
prevent recurrence of such cases. In either case, the order of the component authority
declaring the stores in question as unserviceable, obsolete, or surplus and directing the
mode in which they should be disposed of would be sufficient to cover the loss to
Government if any, and not separate sanction for the write off of the loss will be
necessary.
Each order declaring stores as unserviceable obsolete or surplus should indicate
the causes leading to the stores having become unserviceable obsolete or surplus. A
copy of each such order should be endorsed by the competent authority to the
Accountant General in accordance with the procedure prescribed in rule 60 of the M.P.
Financial Code, Vol. I.
It will be seen from para above that a sanction for write off of loss would not be
necessary where the stores are bodily present. It is only in such cases where the stores
Volume - I Page 254

are missing (as in cases of fire, theft etc.) that formal sanction for write off of losses will
be necessary.
The term “Value of Stores” for the purpose of issue of sanction for disposal of
unserviceable obsoletes or surplus stores/ write off of losses of stores should be taken
as-
(A) The book value where priced accounts are maintained and
(B) The replacement value i.e. market value (at the time of issue of sanction
for disposal / write off) of new articles or an article of similar nature. Where
no priced accounts are maintained. The sale proceeds of unserviceable,
obsoletes or surplus stores should not be taken into account for
determining the value of stores for the purposes of a issue of sanction for
disposal of stores as this amount is to be treated as a miscellaneous
receipt of the department.
Sale of Unserviceable Articles-

All unserviceable or surplus articles including waste paper should be sold as per
store purchase rules and M.P.F.C. and circulars issued from time to time by the
Government.
In special cases for the reason to be recorded in writing by the controlling officer,
the sales may be made by appointing a committee of senior departmental officers of the
area.
