(b)It would be desirable if a larger variety of foodstuff could be obtained.
(c)During summer months barley 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 any quantity.
(f)Bran collected in the grain godown should be issued to cattle daily or sold if in excess or requirements and not allowed to accumulate.
(g)Two seers of gram and one seer of oil-cake, should be issued to a working bullock from the 26th March to the 25th October and 2-1/2 seers of gram and 1/2 seers 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 10 seers shall get 1 seer gram extra. A certificate signed by 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 1 seer 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 on the Jail land. Every endeavour should be made to raise all articles of fodder on the Jail premises, so 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 goomed 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.
