ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE II CIRCLE, CIVIL
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BEZWADA, FOR THE
YEAR 1927-28.
I.—ADMINISTRATION.
I held charge of the II Circle consisting of four districts,
viz., Nellore, Guntur, Kistna and West Godavari, throughout
the year except for three months from 16th November 1927
when I was on leave. During my absence on leave
M.R.Ry. C. Suryanarayanamurthi Pantulu Garu held charge
of the circle. I was on tour for 127 days and
M.R.Ry. C. Suryanarayanamurthi Pantulu Garu for 51 days.
The shortage in my tour days was due to ill-health and subse-
quently proceeding on leave. I conducted inoculations against
Rinderpest by serum simultaneous method on 31 animals at
the buffalo breeding station, Guntur.
2. All the Veterinary institutions and touring billets were
inspected twice during the year under report except the
Veterinary dispensary, Tenali, and the Touring Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon, Ellore. The Veterinary dispensary, Tenali,
being opened only on 29th November 1927 was inspected
once. The Touring Veterinary Assistant Surgeon, Ellore, was
on leave at the time of second inspection.
3. I selected a building for the location of Veterinary
dispensary, Tenali, and sites for the construction of permanent
buildings for Veterinary institutions at Bezwada, Gudivada,
Bandar, Nuzvid and Palakole.
4. I visited the Veterinary dispensary, Bezwada, almost
daily during my stay at headquarters, examined slides from
cases and helped the Veterinary Assistant Surgeon in operations
and treatment of cases when necessity arose.
5. All possible attempts were made to carry out serum
simultaneous inoculation against Rinderpest but owing to
prevalance of Foot-and-mouth disease almost throughout the
year the ryots were not willing to submit their cattle for this
method of inoculation. For instance at Kavali I made neces-
sary arrangements for serum simultaneous inouclation but
when I arrived at Kavali with virus, owners declined.
