Debit the live stock ac and credit Donation ac based on the market value of live stock. Live stocks has to be valued at the year end, any reduction in value has to be charged to P&L.

Livestock is treated as fixed assets, but not depreciable, shown at historical cost or market value which ever less at the year end closing date.

Yes it increases your profit. But while working out the application of funds for tax working it is reduced from the profit as money spent under live stock head.
