| Draught cattle in India |
Category A deals with the very
important issue of cattle in a society where they are regarded as sacred, and
are also vital for agriculture and production of dairy products. The health of the cattle is crucial, as is
their control. Alexander suggests that
each family compound has its own stalls, constructed to maximise collection of
urine and dung. The shared exit to the
group of compounds should have a foot bath to disinfect the cattle. External grazing should be protected from
wandering invading cattle. This diagram
A1(below) illustrates the shared exit (arrows on the left) and the communal milking
parlour (just outside the gate on the right).
