GOVERNMENT OF ASSAM
ORDERS BY THE GOVERNOR
Resolution on the Veterinary Report for the year 1937-38
Extract from the proceedings of the Government of Assam in the
Education Department No. 6271-E., dated the 19th November 1938
READ—
The Report of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department,
Assam, for the year 1937-38.
RESOLUTION
The report of the Civil Veterinary Department for the year
1937-38 records another unhealthy year for livestock. The
total mortality was 47,164 as against 41,643 recorded in the pre-
vious year. Out of this Rinderpest alone was responsible for
more than half—the district of Sylhet suffering the heaviest loss.
This was in spite of the very successful and cheap Goat Tissue
Vaccine method of treatment which protected as many as
125,194 cattle during the year under report. The total mortality
from Foot and Mouth disease also showed an increase of more
than 500 cases while that from Anthrax increased from 1,407 to
2,179 cases during the year.
The Superintendent suggests in his report that some legis-
lative measures are necessary to restrict movement of cattle
during epidemics with a view to check the spread of cattle
disease. Government recognise the need for some such measures
and a proposal to restrict movement of cattle during epidemics is
under their consideration. Another reason for this heavy loss of
cattle is the difficulty in arranging timely treatment due to
inadequacy of staff. Proposals for reorganisation of the Depart-
ment and for increase of staff are pending the deliberations of
the Retrenchment Committee. In the meantime, in view of the
very persistent and urgent demand from the public for more
2
veterinary aid, Government have approved a scheme for the
entertainment of 43 Veterinary Field Assistants to implement the
work of the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons.
With a view to allay discontent in the tea gardens for
insufficient veterinary aid during epidemics, Government have
approved a scheme under which 115 Assistant Medical Officers
of the tea estates were trained during the year in the method of
preventive inoculation of cattle against Rinderpest. The
arrangement cannot be regarded as satisfactory but Government
hope that with the co-operation which the Tea Industry has
kindly extended the scheme will go a great way in solving the
difficulty of inadequacy of staff under epidemic conditions.
As in the previous year, the officers of the Department
worked in close co-operation with the livestock section of the
Agriculture Department and an increasing number of Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons worked as Branch Secretaries and Agents and
inspected breeding bulls, secured donations and realised sub-
scriptions for the Branch Associations in addition to performing
a larger number of castrations of weedy bulls.
By adopting strict measures it has been possible to lower
the incidence of Johne's disease in the farm cattle. In the
periodical test held last cold weather, only 3 positive and 2 doubt-
ful reactors were found in the whole herd of 155 animals in the
Khanapara Farm. Government have therefore ordered issue
from the farm of animals which have been consistently negative
to the Avian Tuberculin test. The situation in the rural areas
was, however, not equally satisfactory and the Johne's disease
officer continued to hold periodical tests with a view to control
the disease.
The Superintendent refers in his report to the faulty system
of dual control of the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons by the
Department and the Local Boards. Government recognise the
difficulties arising from divided responsibility and dual control
and have decided to put the matter before the ensuing Local
Bodies' Conference for expression of their views.
There has been an all-round increase in the volume of work
performed by the staff during the year under report, and Govern-
ment realise that the strain on the existing inadequate staff has
been very great indeed. They can only hope that following the
good examples of Dibrugarh, North Sylhet and Jorhat Local
Boards, all other Local Boards will increase the number of
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons according to their necessity and
that funds will be available in spite of financial stringency.
3
Government have noticed with satisfaction the very sub-
stantial increase in the volume of service rendered to the public
by the staff and their thanks are due to Rai Sahib Srish Chandra
Ghosh for his very efficient and economical administration of
the department in spite of insufficient staff and also for his
interesting report.

Dated Gauhati, the 20th July 1939.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit herewith the Annual Adminis-
tration Report of the Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, for
the year 1938-39.
Your obedient servant,
S: C. GHOSE,
Directors of Veterinary Department,
Assam.
Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Assam, for the
year 1938-39
PREFACE.—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
I held charge of the office of the Director of Veterinary
Department, Assam, throughout the year. During the year I
was on tour for 134 days and travelled 6,275 miles by rail and
4,890 miles by road.
2. The following hospitals and dispensaries were inspected
by me during the year :—The hospitals at Shillong and Silchar
and the dispensaries at Sylhet, Goalpara, Tezpur, Nowgong,
Misa, Jorhat, Mariani and Kohima. I also visited the Manipur
State Veterinary Hospital at Imphal.
3. As a member of the Advisory Board of the Imperial Coun-
cil of Agricultural Research, I attended the meeting of the Board
held at Delhi in November and December 1938. I also attended
the Third Animal Husbandry Wing meeting of the Board
of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry held at Delhi in February
1939. I worked as a member of the Executive Committee of
the Provincial Livestock Improvement Association at Shillong
and also attended the annual meeting of the Livestock Improve-
ment Association held at Jorhat. I visited the Government
Cattle Breeding Farms at Shillong, Khanapara, Sylhet and
Jorhat. I visited Manipur to study the Manipuri breed of ponies
with a view to draw up a scheme on indigenous horse breeding.
I organised the Veterinary section of the Shillong Health Exhi-
bition.
Most of my time was however occupied in connection with
epidemics of cattle disease which was bad this year. Apart from
this the headquarters work, both in the office and laboratory,
has so immensely developed that tour and routine inspections
had to be considerably restrained and curtailed. Besides cur-
tailing of tour and routine inspections was also felt as much
necessary with a view to secure economy in travelling allowance
to find money for other Departmental purposes.
4. In the Laboratory at Gauhati, 3,121 specimens of various
kinds were examined microscopically out of which 67 specimens
proved Anthrax, 26 proved Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia, 93 proved
2
Surra, 6 proved Johne's disease and 3 proved Black Quarter.
These are excluding the specimens examined by the Veterinary
Investigation Officer, Assam,
In the previous year 2,929 specimens of various kinds were
examined of which 74 proved to be Anthrax, 39 Hæmorrhagic
Septicæmia, 21 Surra, 12 Johne's disease, 4 Black Quarter and
1 Avian Tuberculosis.
VETERINARY INVESTIGATION OFFICER
5. Mr. P. G. Pande, M.SC, M.R.C.V.S., held the post of the
Veterinary Investigation Officer, Assam, from the 1st April 1938
up to the 4th January 1939 when he was transferred to the
United Provinces as Veterinary Investigation Officer there.
During the period he was Veterinary Investigation Officer,
Assam, he was on leave on average pay for 12 days from the 16th
September 1.938 to the 27th September 1938. Mr. Bhudhar
Chandra Chatterjee who was temporarily appointed as Veteri-
nary Investigation Officer, Assam, held charge from the 5th
January 1939 to the end of the year, but owing to his ill health
he was on leave from the 17th February 1939 up to the end of
the year.
Mr. P. G. Pande was on tour for 90 days, travelled 2,054
miles by rail and 1,215 miles by road. He visited 29 villages,
7 Tea Estates and one Farm in connection with investigation of
animal diseases.
He summed up his experience on the incidence and epizoo-
tology of Johne's disease in a paper and submitted the same to
the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research.
6. Amongst others the following diseases were investigated
by Mr. P. G. Pande during the year:—
(1) Bovine Pleuro-Pneumonia, (2) Kumri in horse,
(3) Bovine Tuberculosis, (4) Grass poisoning in
cattle, (5) Coccidiosis, (6) Avitaminosis in fowls,
(7) Hæmonchosis in sheep, (8) Ranikhet disease,
(9) Tail Necrosis in buffalo.
Mr. Bhudhar Chandra Chatterjee, temporary Veterinary
Investigation Officer, investigated the following diseases:—
(1) Theileriasis in calves, (2) Piroplasmosis in dog,
(3) Mange in cattle and dog, (4) Distomatosis in
cattle, (5) Ascariasis in buffalo calves.
7. A detailed report on the work of the Veterinary Investi-
gation Officer, Assam, for the year 1938-39 has already been
submitted to the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research
through the Local Government as usual.

One stipendiary of the first year class failed in the annual
examination and all the rest passed. Three passed the final
examination and entered the service of this Department since
the close of the year.
9. There was no Local Board stipendiary in the Bengal
Veterinary College from this province during the year. There
were however three private students from this province at the
Bengal Veterinary College—one in the second year class and two
in the first year class.
PART II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASES
10. Table II shows the approximate number of deaths of
animals from contagious and other diseases as well as deaths
from other causes. The figures for this statement have been
obtained from the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and adopted
with such check as was possible ; for obvious reasons these
figures should be considered as only approximate.
11. The statement shows that the total mortality from all
causes was 59,241 against 47,164 of the previous year.
Rinderpest was worse during the year under report and was
responsible for more than half of the total mortality.
EQUINES
12. Glanders.—No case of death from this disease
was
reported from any of the districts during this year as was also
the case last year.
13. Surra.-—The number of deaths from this disease was

15. Anthrax.—There had been 17 deaths in 6 districts against
25 deaths in 5 districts of the previous year.
4
16. Other diseases.—During the year the number of deaths
from other diseases was 243 in 10 districts against 229 deaths
in 9 districts reported in the previous year.
17. Other causes.—The number of deaths from all other
causes was reported to be 158 from 9 districts against 191
reported from 12 districts in the previous year.
BOVINE (CATTLE AND BUFFALOES)
18. Rinderpest.—As in the previous year this year also
this disease
was
prevalent
in
all the
districts
except the Naga Hills and the Lushai Hills. The total morta-

previous year. Sylhet district was the worst sufferer and sus-
tained the heaviest loss.
19. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—The number of deaths from
this disease was 1,507 reported from 8 districts against 2,455
reported from 9 districts in the previous year.
20. Foot-and-Mouth disease.—The incidence of this disease
was by far less this year so that it was reported from 8 districts
with a mortality of 432 against a mortality of 1,758 reported
from 11 districts in the previous year.
21. Black-quarter.—The number of deaths from this disease
was 100 reported from 6 districts against 134 reported from 8
districts in the previous year.
22. Anthrax.—This disease was reported from 8 districts

PREVENTIVE INOCULATION AND VACCINATION
35. Table III shows the number and results of preventive ino-
culation and vaccination undertaken during the year. In main
the work was confined to vaccation with the Goat Tissue in Vac-
cine which was extensively undertaken in controlling Rinderpest.
The province never before experienced such virulent and wide-
spread epidemics of Rinderpest as it had the misfortune to do
this year so that the preventive inoculation and vaccination were
almost wholly directed against this fell disease.
36. Rinderpest.—It was prevalent in epidemic form almost
all over the province. Epidemics were severe and widespread
in the districts of Sylhet, Kamrup, Nowgong, Goalpara
and
Darrang which suffered the heaviest loss.
Preventive vaccination and inoculation against Rinderpest
was undertaken in 1,360 outbreaks in 10 districts in which
27,602 animals were reported to have died
uninoculated in
course of the outbreaks. In all 2,78,812 animals were inocu-
lated mostly with the Goat Tissue Vaccine
(only 1,998 were
done in serum alone method) ; out of the inoculated 1,724
animals were reported to have died subsequently. In the pre-
vious year inoculation was undertaken in 669 outbreaks in 11
districts in
which
19,356 animals died uninoculated in
course of outbreaks, 125,521 animals were inoculated of which
