Endorsement of the Accountant-General, Madras, No. T-10/BK-299,
dated 12th October 1932.
Forwarded.
A. RANGASWAMI AYYAR,
Deputy Accountant-General.
To the Secretary to Government, Development Department.
Order—No. 1350, Development, dated 15th October 1932.
Recorded.
2. Administration.—Mr. P. T. Saunders held the office of
Director throughout the year. The strength of the subordi-
nate service (Veterinary Assistant Surgeons) was 264 as against
268 at the end of the previous year. The decrease is due to
the closing for financial reasons of four dispensaries which
were doing insufficient work. The same reason led to the
postponement of the opening of three newly sanctioned dis-
pensaries; nor has it been possible to make any increase in
the strength of the higher staff. In spite of these handicaps,
the department has made progress in several directions and
its utility is generally recognized, the chief complaint being
that there is far more to be done than can be attempted with
the present strength.
3. Madras Veterinary College.—The new curriculum was
in course of introduction during the year, only the third or
final year remaining under the old curriculum. There were 125
students, and in the final year's course 39 out of 48 students
No. 1350, DEVELOPMENT, 15TH OCTOBER 1932 7
passed the examination and received the diploma. The ques-
tion of affiliating the college to the Madras University is under
consideration.
There is an immense field for veterinary work in the
country which can never be covered by a Government depart-
ment and the importance of assisting and preparing young men
to enter the profession outside Government service, provided
an effective demand for their skill can be induced, is manifest.
4. Research.—In the sphere of research the report
contains some items of great interest and importance. The
investigation of existing methods of combating rinderpest, and
of the efficacy of serum-simultaneous treatment, was begun
during the year through the agency of a special officer of the
Madras Veterinary Service. It still continues and will in April
1933 be merged in a wider investigation into animal diseases
which is being financed by the Imperial Council of Agricul-
tural Research. By that time it may be hoped that the
department will have prepared a systematic plan of operations
for the control of the rinderpest scourge which is responsible
for fifty per cent of cattle mortality from contagious diseases.
Side by side with these investigations has proceeded an
examination of the possibility of manufacturing serum locally,
as a result of which the establishment of a serum institute was
sanctioned at the end of the year. This, though not strictly
an item of research, is an experimental achievement of great
importance and should enable the Presidency to obtain its
supplies of serum more cheaply and promptly than from
Muktesar.
Some study Has also been made of the subject of indige-
nous drugs and the natural poisons which cattle are liable to
assimilate in the course of grazing; and a scheme for the
further study of this subject, with a view to using the large
vegetable resources of the country, is now under the consider-
ation of the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research.
5. Contagious diseases.—Public interest and criticism are
naturally directed mainly to the progress made in stamping
out the more serious diseases to which cattle are subject in
this Presidency, and it is satisfactory to see that the number
of deaths from contagious diseases was again much smaller
than in the previous year (56,634 as against 99,890, while the
number in 1929-30 was 158,523). No doubt these diseases
occur in cycles, and their virulence also varies. Allowance
must be made also for defective reporting of disease. We are
told that 3,956 outbreaks of disease were reported, of which
