Zakat of Pregnant Animals

Question
Is zakat due on pregnant camels, cattle, and sheep?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Pregnant animals that have been prepared for carrying loads are not to be given zakat, unless they are for trade; if they are for trade, they are given zakat as goods. Refer to: 'Umda al-Ri'aya 1: 275, and God knows best.
