Normally the books of business contains tangible assets that have physical existence. However there are intangible assets as well that can appear in the books of accounts, for instance, copyrights, trademarks, goodwill, patents are intangible in nature but a business certainly possess them.
Livestock A/C records the monetary value of the domestic animals used in a business such as dog, horse, cow, etc. Thus, it is a fixed asset of a business and all the assets of the business whose value can be measured in terms of money are classified under the real account, whereas, the nominal account includes the accounts related to expense, losses, incomes and gains.
