FROM
A. R. EDWARDS, ESQ., I.C.S.,
DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF LAND RECORDS
AND AGRICULTURE, ASSAM,
To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF
ASSAM.
Dated Shillong, the 1st July 1914.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward the Report of the Civil Veterinary Department
of this province for the year ending the 31st March 1914, together with a brief report
of Veterinary work in Manipur State, which is reproduced as Appendix A.
2. The report deals mainly with the internal working and organization of the
Department and with practical achievement in the prevention and the suppression of
disease. In both respects the year has been one of considerable progress, in spite of
the difficulty encountered in recruitment of Veterinary Assistants.
3. The staff of the Department during the year was reinforced by 9 graduate
Assistants, and on the 31st March 1914 stood at a total of 37 Veterinary Assistants :
of these, 28 Assistants were employed under Local Boards, 3 in hill districts, 5 in
the Reserve and 1 on the staff. This year 5 more Assistants have been appointed
making a total of 42 in all against the sanctioned cadre of 51. Progress will necessa-
rily be slow, as the vacant posts can be filled up only as qualified men are found to
hold them. The results of the increase in the number and value of the scholarships
offered at the Bengal Veterinary College have been less satisfactory than was anti-
cipated. It is hoped, however, that, if the scheme for increase of pay, which has
already been submitted, is sanctioned, there will be a marked improvement both in
the numbers and qualifications of candidates.
4. The touring and inspection work of the Superintendent and Inspectors was
generally satisfactory and compares favourably with that of last year. As a result of
the Chief Commissioner's remarks in paragraph 1 of last year's Resolution on the
Veterinary Report, orders were issued to the effect that the Superintendent should
visit half the Veterinary Assistants in each year. During the year under review Mr.
Harris and the Officiating Superintendent Mr. Hickey were on tour for 217 days and
inspected the work of the majority of the Veterinary Assistants. The 3 Inspectors
also made, on the average, 2 to 4 inspections of the work of each of the Veterinary
Assistants within their respective circles, besides attending outbreaks. Mr. McSwiney
inspected the Veterinary dispensaries at North Lakhimpur, Golaghat and Silchar. Sir
Archdale Earle visited the Kohima dispensary.
5. Rinderpest, Foot-and-Mouth disease and Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia form the
principal classes of diseases which the Department has to combat. The total number
of deaths among cattle from contagious diseases reported this year was 29,471 as against
45,642 in 1912-13, the figures generally, including those for rinderpest, being lower
than those of the preceding year. The percentage of deaths from rinderpest was 26
per cent, against 50 per cent. in 1912-13.

REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT,
ASSAM,
FOR. THE YEAR
1913-1914.
PREFACE.—GBNBRAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to hold charge of the post of Superin-
tendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam. I was absent on six months' combined
leave from the 25th May to the 28th November, 1913, during which time, Mr.
S. G. M. Hickey, I.C.V.D., acted as Officiating Superintendent. He was also attached
to this Province as supernumerary for the periods from the 23th April to the 24th
May, 1913, and from the 29th November to the 5th December, 1913, respectively.
2. I was on tour for 98 days and travelled 6,132 miles by rail, 89 miles by steamer
and 599 miles by road.
3. The following hospitals and dispensaries were inspected by me :—
Shillong three times, Moriani and Dibrugarh twice, Silchar, Hailakandi, Dhubri,
Bilashipara, Goalpara, Jorhat and Golaghat once each. The cattle and
sheep of Upper Shillong Farm were inspected three times. Tours were
undertaken in some of the districts to enquire personally into outbreaks of
cattle-disease—specially an outbreak of Anthrax at Kubli Kuthi Nepali
Basti (Kamrup), cattle-disease at Burdwar Tea Estate (Kamrup) and an
outbreak of Glanders at Kathal guri Tea Estate (Sibsagar).
4. I was present at the Agricultural Conference at Coimbatore as a member of
the Board and as in previous years I attended the Bengal Veterinary College as a
member of the Board of Examiners and examined on the following subjects :—Bovine
medicine, Therapeutics, Pharmacy, Senior Anatomy and Botany.
5. Mr. S. G. M. Hickey was on tour for 119 days and travelled 6,853 miles by
rail, 425 miles by steamer and 614 miles by road.
6. The following dispensaries and Assistants were inspected by him :—
Shillong three times, Silchar and Srimangal twice each, Sylhet, Karimganj,
Maulvi Bazar, Habiganj, Sunamganj, Dhubri, Bilashipara, Goalpara, Tezpur,
Sibsagar, Nazira, Jorhat, Moriani, Golaghat, Nowgong and Dibrugarh once
each. He also investigated an outbreak of Glanders at Silchar, Surra out-
breaks at Rajghat Tea Estate (South Sylhet) and in the Shillong Cantonment,
Rinderpest outbreaks at Tukok Tea Estate (Sibsagar) and an outbreak of
Anthrax amongst elephants at Naharkatiya Saw-mills (Jeypore, Lakhimpur).
The herd of the Upper Shillong Farm were also inspected by him during his
visit there. He assisted in the judging of stock at Shillong Cattle Show held
in September last.
2
7. In the Laboratory 163 specimens were examined, of which. 20 were found to be
Anthrax, 23 Hæmorrhagic Septicaemia and 21 Surra. Other blood and intestinal
parasites were also examined from time to time.
PART I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
8. During the year under report 7 Government stipendiaries attended the Bengal
Veterinary College. They were distributed as follows :—

There was no private student attending the college during the year under report.
9. I regret to state that the difficulties expressed by the Director of Agriculture
in the last year's report in securing suitable men for training in the college, continue
to hold good. Very few young men of average ability made applications for stipends,
and some who had accepted withdrew their names when they were asked to join the
college ; apparently the increase in the number and. amount of stipends sanctioned by
the Local Administration did not produce the good effect which was expected. In the
stipendiaries sent this year to the college the general standard of education was not
as high as desired, and we were enabled to send only .4 out of 6 sanctioned for this
Province.
10. Twelve new graduates were appointed Veterinary Assistants in this Province
during the year under report, of which three failed to join.
The demand for qualified Assistants is still great and many more could have
been employed if they had been available.
PART II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
11. Table II shows the number of deaths of animals from contagious diseases
during the year. Reports have been received from all districts of the Province. Last
year reports were received from 11 districts.
12. The total mortality reported amongst equines, bovines and others as compared
with the two previous years was as follows:—
Equines ... ...
Bovines
...
...
Others ... ...
1911-13.
170
44,991
3,071
1912-13.
178
42,311
8,053
1913-14.
286
26,820
2,365
These statistics were compiled from the returns sent in by the District Officers
who receive them from the police. They have, however, been checked as far as
possible by the local Veterinary Assistants and they give an approximate idea of cattle
mortality. In some cases the police failed to report outbreaks of disease, in others
8
46. In several parts of the Province cattle poisoners have been busy. A. large
number of cattle die from poison. The Local Authorities concerned were informed, hut
there is no information that any arrests were made.
47. The Department is increasing very slowly in numbers, this it will con-
tinue to do until the pay and prospects are sufficiently improved to attract
more men with a better education.
48. Much of the emaciation and debility seen in the cattle in the plains is
due to Distomatosis or liver fluke disease. This is a disease of water-logged
areas and is not curable. The best method of prevention is to remove the
cattle to high dry soil, A form of this disease is found in elephants in Assam
and causes death when infection is severe.
49. The following Assistants carried out their duties in a very satisfactory
manner:—Babu Bhudhar Chandra Chatterjee, Staff Veterinary Assistant, Babli
Hem Chandra Sen, Veterinary Assistant, Shillong, Maulvi Afseruddin Ahmad,
Veterinary Assistant, Bilashipara, Maulvi Azizuddin Sarker, Veterinary Assistant,
Gob ghat, and Babu Girindra Nath Syam Chaudhury, Veterinary Assistant, Karimganj.
The majority of the Assistants worked satisfactorily throughout the year, but required
fairly constant and efficient supervision. I regret to say there were one or two
Assistants whose work was not satisfactory. They have no interest in it and they
are losing their professional knowledge. They are dissatisfied with the Department
and they cannot be relied on in emergency, they are not a credit to the Department
which would be much better without their services.
50. Office staff.—The office work still shows an increase and a fifth clerk is now
necessary. The work has been efficiently carried out under the control of the Head
Clerk, Babu Surendra Nath Boy. The whole of the staff has worked satisfactorily
during the year.

Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam.
