Please note that in order to charge depreciation, we must know the expected life of the subject so as to distribute the cost of the stock over that period. However, in case of livestock, the life can't be ascertained i.e. the very basis of calculation ofdepreciation is not available and this must be one of the reasons for not charging depreciation on livestock.
