The Report of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, for the year 1923-24.
RESOLUTION.
The Veterinary Department continued to do very useful work in combatin
contagious diseases prevalent among animals in this country. In last year's R-
tion the. Government commented on the satisfactory decrease in mortality.
year under review the number of deaths from contagious diseases (25,530) was
slightly in excess of the previous year's return (25,309), although the numb-
outbreaks increased, and the number of animals that died before they cou-
inoculated increased from 3,650 to 5,661. The number of inoculations perf-
rose from 21,996 to 24,843. There was also an increase in the total number o1
treated at the veterinary hospitals and by the itinerating staff in the villages.
2. The number of Veterinary Assistants decreased from 50 to 49, two
having retired and one new officer having been recruited. The post of I
Superintendent has been kept in abeyance for the present, and the staff now em-
under the Superintendent consists of three Inspectors and 49 Veterinary Assi-
During the year the Department of Agriculture was separated from the Vete-
Department, which is now an independent charge.
3. The total expenditure amounted to Rs. 1,43,708 as compared with Rs. 1,
in 1922-23. The share of this expenditure debited to provincial revenue
Rs. 81,048 against Rs. 80,126, the share debited to local bodies falling from lis.
to Rs. 62,660.
4. Babu Guru Prosanna Sen officiated as Superintendent until the 20th 1
ber 1923, when he was relieved by the permanent Superintendent, Mr. W.
who remained in charge until the end of the year. To both these officers great
is due for their capable administration and the successful results of the year's w-

Dated Gauhati, the 29th June 1925.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit herewith the Annual Administration Report
of the Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, for the year 1924-25 together with a
copy of the Report on Veterinary Administration of the Manipur State, for the
year ending the 31st March 1925.

REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, ASSAM,
FOR THE YEAR
1924-25.
PREFACE—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to hold charge of the post of
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam.
2. I was on tour for 137 days and travelled 1,657 miles by road and boat,
2,015 miles by rail and 338 miles by steamer.
3. The following hospitals and dispensaries were inspected by me during the
year:—
Shillong and Gauhati three times, Nalbari, Patacharkuchi, Barpeta, Dhubri,
Goalpara, Mangaldai, Tangla, Tezpur, Behali, Tinsukia, Silchar, Narsingpur, Haila-
kandi, Karimganj, Sylhet, Sunamganj, Habiganj and Kulaura once. During these
inspections the practical work of the Assistants was carefully observed and instruc-
tion and advice given. The work of the Veterinary Inspectors of Gauhati, Silchar
and Dibrugarh was inspected by me. The work done by the Veterinary Assistant,
Bilashipara, on tour and also by the Staff and Reserve Veterinary Assistants was
also inspected.
4. I regret I was not able to attend the Bengal Veterinary College as a member
of the Board of Examiners owing to pressure of important work.
5. In the Laboratory at headquarters 528 specimens of various kinds were
examined of which 55 were diagnosed as Anthrax, 12 Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia,
13 Surra. The remainder were for examination for other blood, skin, intestinal
parasites, etc. In the previous year 466 specimens were examined of which 58 were
Anthrax, 21 Hæmorrhagie Septicæmia, and 9 Surra.

PART VI.—GENERAL REMARKS.
50. The general progress made in former years was well maintained during the
year under report. The following incident may show how education is slowly but
surely spreading. A ryot on his own initiative brought to the Laboratory a drop of
blood from a dead bullock on a piece of broken bottle. He had seen an Assistant
take blood smears sometime previously.
51. The following table shows the doses of Sera received during the years 1921-22
to 1924-25 :—

52. A part of the duties of the Assistants which is increasing and yearly becoming
more important is the examining and reporting on cruelty and maiming cases.
The following table shows the increase during the last three years :—
—

Number of cruelty cases examined ... ... ...
Number of maiming cases examined ... ... ...
Number of attendances at court to give evidence ... ...

In addition to the above the number of cruelty and maiming cases sent to the
Hospitals at Gauhati, Shillong and Silchar was 41, 20 and 25 respectively, making
a total of 86 against 61 in the previous year. This is a step in the right direction
as the amount of cruelty perpetrated on animals throughout the province is great,
much of this is due to apathy and ignorance.
53. The Department was fortunate in having a visit during part of the cold
weather of Mr. Cooper, the Pathologist at the Imperial Institute of Veterinary
Research.
Enquiry into the incidence of coccidiosis, piroplasmosis and other
diseases took up much of his time; with his previous experience in the
double inoculation of cattle to produce a permanent immunity against rinderpest
the opportunity was taken to immunise the cattle at the Government Farm, Shillong,
and in one private herd. This was successfully done without loss but following
the reaction a severe attack of piroplasmosis developed of which three animals died
out of about 90 treated. This is the first time the double inoculation has been carried
out in Assam. The thanks of the Department are due to Mr. Cooper for his
successful demonstration. As the double inoculation which means the injection
