(a)Green fodder when available should replace Bhusa at the rate of 3 to 1 but not more than 3/4 of Bhusa should be so replaced.
(b)It would be desirable if a larger variety of food-stuff could be obtained.
(c)During summer months barely and during winter cotton seeds may be issued to cattle in milk, but within the scale of gram and oil-cake allowed above.
(d)Cheapness and palatability are the chief considerations when compounding a mixed ration.
(e)Green grass and weeds must be available in the garden in good quantity.
(f)Bran collected in the grain godown should be issued to cattle daily or sold if in excess of requirements and not allowed to accumulate.
(g)1.860 kgs. of gram and 930 gms of oil-cake, should be issued to a working bullock from the 26th March to the 25th October and 2.325 Kgs of gram and 465 gms of oil-cake for the remaining period of the year.
(h)Green fodder, grass and bran are not to be purchased in the market.
(i)Buffalo giving milk in excess of 9.300 kgs shall get 930 grams extra. A certificate signed by the Superintendent should be attached to the detailed contingent bill in which the extra charge is made.
A stud bull requires double the above scale.A Hansi bullock should receive 930 gm of gram in addition to the above scale.All these articles are readily obtainable at all seasons with perhaps the occasional exception of green grass though sufficient grass can almost at all times be obtained from the jail garden water-courses or plots of grass of the jail land. Every endeavour should be made to raise all articles of fodder on the jail premises, as to avoid the need of purchases as far as possible. Lots of green food is the main article to rely on.Jail bullocks should get three meals a day viz., at day-break, 1 p.m. and at sunset. No animal should be worked immediately before, nor for two hours after a meal. Further, they should get clean water to drink, be groomed daily and not exposed unnecessarily to the midday sun in hot weather, or to heavy rain or intense cold. In very cold weather a 'jhool' should be provided for each animal at night, and their houses should at all times be kept clean and well ventilated.
