8. 49 deaths from equine contagious disease were reported during the
year against the same number last year
in the non-selected districts.
Glanders—Table II.
9. Three cases of glanders were reported from the Peshawar District
and Kurram Agency. Diagnosis was
confirmed by the Superintendent and
the animals were destroyed. One case in a mule in Nowshera was also reported
by the Military authorities.
Surra—Table II.
10. 44 deaths from surra were reported against 46 in the previous
year. Diagnosis was confirmed in each
case by microscopic examination. The
disease was most prevalent in the Dera Ismail Khan District.
Dourine—Table II.

detected during the year.
Other contagious disease—Table II.

Preventive inoculation—Table III.
15. 16,790 contact animals in 57 outbreaks were inoculated by the
subordinate staff. Last year 15,026 ani-
mals were inoculated in 40 outbreaks.
All the inoculations were checked by the Superintendent or Veteri-
nary Inspectors, and the results were found to be very satisfactory.
16. The immunisation of cattle against rinderpest is steadily gaining in
popularity with agriculturalists, and only in a few out-of-the-way places are
the people strongly opposed to the method.
Hæmorrhagic septicæmia—Table II.
17. Outbreaks of hæmorrhagic septicæmia occurred in the districts
of Peshawar, Hazara, Kohat and Dera
Ismail Khan and Kurram Agency.
2,094 cases were reported, of which 1,863 proved fatal, against 1,297 cases and
1,225 deaths last year.
Preventive inoculation—Table III.
18. A supply of a preventive vaccine has been received from the
Imperial Laboratory, Muktesar, and it
will be applied in villages in which
hæmorrhagic septicæmia has appeared for the last two or three years in
succession.
(3)
Foot-and-mouth disease—Table II.
19. Food-and-mouth disease occurred in all the districts and Kurram
Agency. 10,569 cases were reported, of
which 95 died, against 18,171 cases
and 113 deaths last year.

21 2,814 vaccinations were performed in 13 villages against 4,442
vaccinations in 25 villages in the
previous year. The results are being
checked and a report will be submitted next cold weather.

and 32 deaths last year. Under this

SECTION II.—OTHER DISEASES.
Treatment of disease on tour.
25. During the year Veterinary Assistants on tour visited 1,369 villages
and treated 11,397 animals compared
with 1,410 and 20,953 respectively last
year.
The decrease in the number of cases treated is mainly attributable to
the lesser prevalence of foot-and-mouth disease during the year under report.
383 castrations were performed against 276 last year.
SECTION III.—VETERINARY HOSPITALS.
Veterinary Hospitals—Table V.
26. During the year under report there were 19 hospitals in the
Province, and the total number of
animals treated at these institutions
was 42,202. Last year 39,320 cases were treated in 17 hospitals. These
figures would have been considerably exceeded if many of the hospitals had
not to be closed during the temporary absence of the Veterinary Assistants
to attend outbreaks of contagious disease.
Compounders who can take charge during the Veterinary Assistant's
absence on tour are required at all the hospitals.
Levying of fees for treatment of animals.
27. The question of charging fees for treatment and medicines at
Veterinary Hospitals is under con-
sideration.
(4)
Buildings.
28. It is gratifying to note that the work of providing suitable
buildings is progressing satisfactorily.
At several hospitals the attendance of
in-patients has increased so much that the question of extending the in-door
accommodation will have to be considered shortly.
New hospitals are under construction at Peshawar, Mardan and Dargai.
The hospital at Tank was completed and occupied during the year, and
is doing well.
Receipts and expenditure—Table VI.
29. The receipts and expendi-
ture are shown in Table VI. Treat-
ment at all the institutions is gratis.
PART III.—BREEDING OPERATIONS.
SECTION I.-BOVINE.
Stud bulls—Table VIII.
30. At the close of the year there were 17 studs bulls at work in the
Province against 19 last year. There
were 3 additions and 5 casualties during
the year. The services of the bull in the Tochi Agency were not appreciated,
and he was transferred to the Hazara District, where more interest is taken in
the improvement of cattle by zamindars than in the other districts in the
Province.
Supply and care of bulls.
31. Two Dhanni bulls were purchased during the year for the Hazara
District. As stated last year, the num-
ber of bulls in the Province is quite
inadequate, but there is great difficulty in obtaining suitable men who are
willing to look after a District Board bull.
SECTION II.–EQUINES.
Increase in the standard scale.
32. The sanctioned scale for the Province, viz. 18 horse and 16 donkey
stallions, was increased by one horse for
Peshawar and one donkey for the Kur-
ram Agency, making a total of 19 and 17 respectively.
Number of horse and pony stallions—Table X.
33. At the close of the year there were 10 horse and 8 pony stallions
at stud in the non-selected districts and
agencies of the Province. This is one
less than the standard scale, Kohat being short by that number.
Two horses were purchased, one each for the Peshawar and Bannu
districts.
There were three casualties during the year.
Number of donkey stallions in the non-selected dis-
tricts and agencies—Table X.
34. At the end of the year there were 15 donkey stallions at work,
or 2 short of the standard scale. These
are required for the Kurram and Tochi
Agencies, and will, it is hoped, be
supplied during the current year.
Three donkey stallions (2 from Charsadda and 1 from Hissar) were
purchased and distributed as follows:—
Peshawar ...
Kohat ...
Dargai (Malakand)
...

stallions during the year, an average of
58.33 and 52.12 respectively.
