for the deteriorated condition of cattle in the province. Pletho-
ra of Endoparasitic infestation, occurrence of Kumri in horses,
higher incidence of Johne's disease in Assam, Abortion in cattle,
Sterility all might be traced to be predisposed by deficiency of
some essentials in food contents.
62. Tuberculosis was detected in an imported Rhodes
Island hen belonging to the poultry section of the Government
Cattle Farm, Jorhat. Stern measure was immediately taken to
stamp out the disease which for the first time was detected in
Assam. The control of Avian Tuberculosis is more difficult in
the sense that the infection may spread through the infected
eggs. It is indeed sad, if not a misfortune, that attempts to
improve the breed of cattle and fowls in the province by impor-
tation of new blood have found a set back due to importation
of such dangerous pathological conditions as Johne's disease in
cattle and Tuberculosis in fowls.
63. Slow breeding and sterility were reported in some
cases of Farm animals. When remedial measures such as Pro-
lan and Hormone treatment are indicated it shall have to be
remembered that sterility might be the outcome of some infec-
tious diseases, e.g., Brucellosis or Tuberculosis. It is a matter
for investigation if Johne's disease which is caused by an orga-
nism which has phylogenic relation with Mycobacterium Tuber-
culosis plays any part in bringing out the condition.
64. Cattle-poisoning, specially under the cover of epidemics,
is another menace which requires very rigid handling. There
are instances on record when this nefarious design was respon-
sible for heavy loss to ryots. If the object with which the cattle
are poisoned by the designing and interested people, viz., the
collection of hides and bones, could be controlled the vice might
be effectively checked. This is a question which deserves very
serious notice not only from the humanitarian point of view but
also for economic reasons.
65. A very valuable herd of a Shillong Dairy was affected
with grave pathological condition attended with mortality which
was supposed to be due to ingestion of some poisonous plant.
Investigation led to suspect "Lantana" as responsible for the
condition. As similar pathological condition was also noticed
amongst cattle in certain plains area of the province a specimen
of this plant was sent to the Curator, Indian Section, Indian
Museum, for identification and report on its properties. It
has since been identified as Lantana Camara Linn by the
Superintendent, Royal Botanical Gardens, Sibpur, Bengal. It
has further been stated that the seeds, flowers and leaves of the
plant are known to be poisonous to cattle in North West India,
16
66. Apathy of stock-owners to proper feed and keep of
cattle is so great in Assam that it seems to be an insurmountable
problem to deal with. However with a view to demonstrate
how practically at no cost and with a little labour fodder can
be grown a demonstration plot of Guinea Grass is maintained
in the Gauhati Veterinary Hospital compound which after
feeding the in-patients yielded a small revenue. A similar demon-
stration plot is proposed to be started in the Veterinary Hospital
compound in Silchar with the object of educating the public on
the necessity of growing fodder.
67. Past experience signifies that until and unless some
effective legislative measures are adopted to check the unrestrict-
ed movement of cattle at the time of epidemics of cattle disease
it will continue to be a very difficult task for all the time to
come to control epidemic diseases. Spread of the disease from
place to place, nay even from district to district and valley to val-
ley could be traced to unrestricted cattle traffic and cattle market
to the great loss of the ryots. Compulsory vaccination of cattle
against Rinderpest is another matter which deserves considera-
tion, specially this is so in any centre where this fell disease
breaks out.
68. Total mortality of livestock was greater this year as
compared with the previous year. To be precise the mortality
was more accurately recorded than in the previous year. What
an economic loss it is to the province needs hardly be empha-
sised. The saddest part of the situation is that poor ryots who
constitute the great majority of the cattle owners sustained the
loss almost in its entirety. When the economic uplift appears
to be the watch word in every lip such a heavy drainage of
ryots' only capital—the cattle, should catch the imagination
and thoughts of all and means should be devised to guard against
it. But for this any scheme of rural uplift would be a far fetched
idea. Cattle is the very foundation of all happiness and human
efficiency and through it the resources of the country can be
immensely developed. I repeat and lay all emphasis when I
say that the agricultural development, improvement of livestock
and economic uplift of the province would be a pious wish
rather than a reality so long as the protection of ryots' cattle
is not vouchsafed.
69. In connection with the Livestock Improvement work
in Assam 19 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons worked as Branch
Secretaries of the Branch Livestock Improvement Associations
and 15 served as Branch Agents. They attended as many as
75 meetings, inspected 307 breeding bulls stationed in different
17
parts of the province, secured donation to the extent of
Rs. 1,974
and collected subscription of Rs. 1,788 besides
securing 430 members for the Branch Associations. This is
apart from 29,275 castrations performed by the veterinary staff
in connection with the improvement of the stock in the province.
I myself served as a member of the Executive Committee of
the Central Livestock Improvement Association, Assam.
70. The present system of dual control of the district
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons by the Department and the Local
Boards has not been working satisfactorily. To serve two mas-
ters is to serve none. Difficulties experienced by reason of
division of control over the district Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
need hardly be emphasised. The public at large thinks that
in all matters concerning Veterinary the entire responsibility
lies with the Civil Veterinary Department whereas the district
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons all over the province mostly are
under the direct control and management of the Local Boards.
Responsibility without power of control is fundamentally un-
sound. No wonder therefore that the Department finds itself
in an awkward and unhappy position for no fault of its own
and has to court unmerited stigma. The earlier the present
dual system of control is ended the better for all concerned.
71. An appeal was made to all the Local Boards impressing
upon them the necessity of strengthening their veterinary staff
commensurate with the demand for aid. It is to be regretted
that though the Local Boards expressed appreciating the neces-
sity of increasing the number of Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
maintained by them nothing so far materialised except in the case
of Dibrugarh Local Board who have temporarily entertained a
third Veterinary Assistant Surgeon and the North Sylhet Local
Board who have revived the post of the Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon under them which was held in abeyance. While I
congratulate the Chairmen, Local Boards, Dibrugarh and North
Sylhet, I take this opportunity of appealing again to the rest
of the Local Boards to give their serious thoughts on this urgent
and overdue measure. I am also glad to be able to report that
the Chairman, Local Board, Jorhat, who already entertains
three Veterinary Assistant Surgeons has been contemplating to
start a fourth Veterinary Dispensary under his board. The
Government have been pleased to accord their sanction to
strengthen the number of Reserve Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
by two more officers on permanent basis since the close of the
year under report.
18
72 Lectures were delivered to the Inspectors of the Go-
operative Societies in two centres of Gauhati and Sylhet with
a view to secure greater co-ordination between the departments
in rural reconstruction work. My thanks are due to Mr. S. L.
Mehta, I.C.S., Registrar, Co-operative Societies, who took the
initiative in the matter and rendered all help.
73. The entire subordinate staff showed once more loyal
devotion to duty. But for their zeal, enthusiasm and assiduous
application to duty such a voluminous service with the limited
staff at the disposal of the Department would have been impos-
sible. The Circle Veterinary Inspectors in general and the
Johne's Disease Officer in particular did their parts well. I take
this opportunity of recording my appreciation for the excellent
work the entire staff did during the year. The Department has
become poorer by the well-earned retirement from service of
Maulavi Azizuddin Sarkar, Veterinary Inspector, Upper Assam
Circle, with the close of the year under report. In him the
Department had a zealous and enthusiastic worker, whose ab-
sence, I confidently believe, would be keenly felt by all con-
cerned.
74. The Office under the guidance of my Head Clerk,
Maulavi Muhammad Funus continued to work under handicap.
The volume of work to be done had been disproportionately
greater than the staff entertained. As all attempts to manage
the work by redistribution failed with the existing ministerial
staff a proposal to strengthen the staff is now awaiting considera-
tion and sanction of the Government.
75. Thanks of the Department are due to those who took
an active interest and helped me and my staff in the execution
of the work in the districts. I also take this opportunity to
express my gratitude to the District and Subdivisional Officers
and the Chairmen of Local Boards for all assistance they have
extended to the Department. I am indebted to the Director
of the Imperial Veterinary Research Institute, Muktesar, for
the help he has rendered me through the various Departments
of his Institute and to Mr. P. J. Kerr, M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S., Director
of Veterinary Services, Bengal, for his continued co-operation.
My thanks are also due to the Director of Agriculture, Assam,
for the assistance he has rendered me and my staff in carrying
out veterinary work in the Government Farms under his control.
