ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE VI CIRCLE,
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, MADURA, FOR
1926-27.
I.—ADMINISTRATION.
The VI Circle, Civil Veterinary Department, with its head-
quarters at Madura and comprising the four districts of
Trichinopoly, Madura, Ramnad and Tinnevelly was newly
constituted and was opened on the 20th. of July 1926. I was
in charge of this circle since the time it was opened to the
end of the official year under report. The office was origi-
nally located for some time in the North Marret street of this
town on a monthly rental of Rs. 45 but was subsequently
moved to the building in which the office of the Collector of
Ramnad was formerly held. I spent 127 days on tour during
the year under consideration. The Circle office was inspected
by the Veterinary Adviser on the 3rd February 1927, and
the work done in the office was observed to be satisfactory.
II.—EXECUTIVE STAFF.
2. There were in all 26 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons in
this circle. There were 10 Touring Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons, 3 second Veterinary Assistant Surgeons attached
to the hospitals at Trichinopoly, Madura and Tinnevelly and 14
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons in charge of veterinary institu-
tions including the Veterinary Assistant Surgeon in charge of
the hospital at Virakeralampudur. There was no leave
reserve hand in this circle.
III.—HOSPITALS AND DISPENSARIES.
3. The veterinary hospital at Virakeralampudur con-
tinued to be under the management of the Uttumalai estate.
The veterinary dispensary at Srivilliputtur was shifted to
Rajapalaiyam and was opened on the 12th April 1926 by the
Hon'ble the Minister for Development of the Government of
Madras. The Assistant Surgeons in charge of the veterinary
dispensaries at Karur and Dindigul were also doing touring
work in addition to their dispensary work.
4. In all the institutions of this circle, excepting those of
Devakottai, Sivaganga, Tuticorin and Virudhunagar, the
daily average attendance of cases treated has slightly increased
during the year 1926-27.
56
5. The decline in attendance at some of the institutions is
regrettable and is due mainly to the illiteracy of the ryots of
the neighbourhood who do not realize what a boon a veteri-
nary institution has got to confer upon their afflicted animals.
In Kallarnad especially which forms a major portion of the
two districts of Madura and Ramnad, this apathy towards
veterinary aid is still unabated. Besides some of these veteri-
nary institutions like Virudhunagar are situated in non-
agricultural centres where only a few cattle are maintained.
The veterinary assistant surgeons in charge of these insti-
tutions have been asked to exert and make earnest endeavours
to enhance the popularity of these institutions.
IV —ITINERATING STAFF.
6. The year saw the creation of two more touring posts
in the circle. One touring post with Musiri as its headquarters
was opened on the 13th of June 1926 and another was opened
at Ramnad on 3rd November 1926. So at the end of the
official year under report there were twelve touring billets in
all in this circle.
7. The members of the touring staff attended to 66 out-
break reports out of 81 received. As many as 4,630 inocula-
tions were performed on the whole.
V.—CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
8. Rinderpest.—With the exception of the district of
Madura where rinderpest was moderately severe, the remain-
ing parts of the circle were practically unaffected by the
disease. The source of infection was traced to the borders
of Travancore State to the west of the Madura district. 201
inoculations were performed and the disease subsided.
9. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia..—Outbreaks of hæmorrhagic
septicæmia occurred in all the districts of this circle
though in a varying degree. In the Tinnevelly and Trichi-
nopoly districts the disease was very mild. The district of
Madura was but moderately affected with the disease, but in
Ramnad the outbreak was at its worst. The total number of
inoculations performed against the disease was 3,085.
10. Black-quarter.—Black-quarter was very severe in the
Trichinopoly district and less acute in the Madura district.
The districts of Ramnad and Tinnevelly were almost entirely
immune from the disease. 992 inoculations were performed
and the disease subsided.
57
11. Anthrax.—Only in the district of Tinnevelly was
anthrax virulent to some degree. In the other districts the
outbreak was mild. On the whole 353 inoculations were
carried out during the year against anthrax.
12. Foot-and-mouth disease—There were only a few out-
breaks of the foot-and-mouth disease in Trichinopoly, Ramnad
and Tinnevelly districts. There were almost no outbreaks
of this disease in the Madura district.
13. Sheep-pox.—Sheep-pox was prevalent in the Tinne-
velly district alone and that was not very serious.
14. Nasal Granuloma.—Nasal Granuloma was prevalent
in almost all the villages in the circle where the supply of
good drinking water was scanty.
15. Kumri.—Only two cases of Kumri occurred, one in
Mnsiri and the other at Tuticorin. There was no recrudes-
cence of this disease in any other part of the circle.
VI.—GENERAL REMARKS.
16. The staff complained against village officers on seven
occasions for slackness in reporting outbreaks of contagious
diseases.
17. I inspected the Government livestock at Koilpatti on
all the occasions that I went to the place on tour.
18. On the whole, the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons both
of the institutions and of the itinerating staff in the circle have
passed on a smooth routine during the year.
19. The present system of running camp dispensary for
ten days in a village has been found disadvantageous to some
extent. The animals only of the particular village in which
the dispensary is held are brought for treatment and the
neighbouring villagers do not take the trouble of bringing
their animals to the dispensary.
20. The second Veterinary Assistant Surgeon attached to
the hospital at Tinnevelly has not done much useful work
during the year on account of his not having to do any touring
work and as his work was confined only to attending out-
break reports that were received. The second Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon attached to the Veterinary Hospital, Madura,
has done touring work for ten days in a month in the absence
8
58
of outbreak reports. It is desirable that both these Veteri-
nary Assistant Surgeons should in future be required to go
on regular tour like other Touring Veterinary Assistant Sur-
geons in this circle so that some substantial work may be
turned out by them.
21. Office staff.—The permanent head clerk of this office
was transferred to the IV Circle. Though all the clerks are
new, they have been sufficiently painstaking and diligent and
their work has given me satisfaction.

Acting Officer in charge, VI Circle,
Civil Veterinary Department, Madura.
