Company do supply to wholesalers and dealers via its own transport have some land conveyance such as trucks, lorries and other live stocks as MERE, HORSE, ELEPHANT, and CAMEL to supply the final products at hill stations and in tribe areas where the land conveyance not available.
NOW question arise….. 1 How we can treat the sheeps (male and female) and their kids in books of accounts, are they as stock or assets for company ? 2 What is the accounting treatment for the transportation mode as horse, mere, elephant, camel and their kids, are they fixed assets or stocks (as capital item or revenue items) 3 how we will treat the milk and other byproducts dung etc of all the live stock as sheeps, mere, elephant, horse, and camel

r/sir you can treat the all the animal as live stock not the fixed assets nor the stock but this is producing some thing or use for active business part .
main object of business set in the mind after that you can make easily that.
if your main business is woolen and woolen cloth then woolen and woolen clothe is your main sale parts and its related exp are direct exp. like animal insurance, fooding, etc. and weaving exp. of wool and stitching of cloth are also direct exp part.
in both income tax and company act for animals are not treat the machinery for depreciation claim and not treat the stock.
you take value at the end of the year. at cost or releasable value which is less.
other saleable item like dung, milk etc can take indirect income and also exp. related this is also can take indirect exp.
during the year loss of animal or dead animal can take as "Loss of live stock during the year" .
