62. The work of the laboratory has been greatly increased
and the services of the Staff Veterinary Assistant Surgeon,
Gauhati, were fully occupied in the laboratory work. This
has deprived the Department of the services of a Staff Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon for which his services wore primarily intended.
A separate arrangement is, therefore, necessary for laboratory
work including the receipt and despatch of sera.
63. No case of Tuberculosis was observed in this province
so long but towards the close of the year under report a para-
tubercular disease (Johne's disease) was found amongst the Sindhi
cattle at the Government Cattle Farm at Khanapara. So far as
investigation was carried out this disease was not seen amongst
the indigenous cattle but owing to the insufficient staff a
thorough investigation could not be held and so it is still
uncertain whether the cattle that die of obstinate diarrhoea has
not had Johne's disease in them along with the common disease
known as parasitic diarrhoea.
64. Glanders in the province was very rarely noticed since
a long time but during the year a good number was found in the
transport ponies of Assam Rifles stationed in the Lushai Hills.
The origin was traced and found to be imported from Burma
from which place some animals were purchased.
65. The Department has gained much popularity and its
services are very much appreciated by the people who could
realise that the small number of Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
employed in each subdivision is quite insufficient in consideration
of the area and the number of cattle in it. Out of 19 subdivisions
3 have entertained three Veterinary Assistant Surgeous each, one
entertained only one and the rest entertained 2 each. The finan-
cial crisis has driven some Local Boards to suggest for curtail-
ment of the existing number of Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
under them but there are some who in spite of financial depression
are endeavouring to increase their number as they thought it was
their essential duty to help the rate-payers—the cultivators—for
the welfare and protection of their cattle property.
66. The campaign of castration of weedy bulls was con-
tinued during the year. The total number of castration rose 1o
21,272 against 17,374 in the previous year. The highest
individual number of castration rose to 1,251. This was done
by Maulavi Muhammad Brizish Quader, Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon, Nowgong, whose number was the highest in the
previous year also with 949. This year another Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon (Srijut Bhabit Chandra Das, Dibrugarh)
exceeded the 1,000 mark.

67. The work of all the Veterinary Inspectors was carried
out satisfactorily. It is regretted their inspection had to be cur-
tailed to sometextent to effect economy in expenditure. For this
reason work of some Veterinary Assistant Surgeons was inspected
thrice or twice or even once instead of four times. It is hoped
that circumstances will allow of the full number of inspections
being made in future, otherwise the standard of work cannot be
maintained.
68. The Hon'ble the Minister of Education visited the Vete-
rinary Dispensary at Goalpara during the year.
69. Office Staff.—During the year the staff in general
carried out the work satisfactorily under the direction of the Head
Clerk Maulvi Muhammad Eunus.
70. The Department wishes to thank the district officers
Chairmen and members of the Local Boards and private gentle-
men who have taken an interest in veterinary work and general
welfare of cattle. It wishes that there were more men who
would see the great opportunities that are possible for the
enrichment and improvement of the country and people by the
possession of better, healthier and more useful cattle.
71. My report, I think, would be incomplete without men-
tioning the name of Mr. R. C. Woodford, Live Stock and Dairy
Expert, Assam, and his staff at the farms who have given me
sufficient help in carrying out virus alone method of inoculation
against Rinderpest on experimental basis.

GOVERNMENT OF ASSAM.
Orders by the Governor and the Minister of
Education.
Resolution on the Veterinary Report for the year
1932-33.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Government of Assam
in the Education Department, No. 2108E., dated the
20th September 1938.
READ—
The report of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam,
for the year 1982-83.
RESOLUTION.
The year was unhealthy for domestic animals. There were
many outbreaks of epidemics and the total mortality from all
diseases was 24,300 as compared with 21,723 in the previous year.
More than half the number of the deaths were due to rinderpest
of which there were no less than 312 outbreaks. Among
other diseases which contributed to swell the figure of mortality
may be mentioned in order of their destructiveness—foot-and-
mouth disease, hæmorrhagic septicæmia and anthrax. Both
surra and glanders claimed more victims than in the preceding
year. The origin of infection in the cases of glanders which
took place among the transport ponies of the Assam Rifles in
the Lushai Hills was traced to some of the ponies purchased in
Burma.
2. Curative and preventive treatment was rendered to the
animals which were either suffering or were in danger of catch-
ing infection. In the three hospitals, viz., Gauhati, Shillong and
Silchar, the total number of patients treated was 5,201. Of
these 174 were in-patients. The itinerary staff visited 11,227
villages and treated 19,892 cases of contagious diseases and
72,342 cases of non-contagious diseases. Preventive action main-
ly consisted of inoculation. Seventeen thousand three hundred
and thirty-two animals were inoculated against rinderpest by
