REPORT
OF TH E
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT,
ASSAM,
FOR THE YEAR
1915-16.
PREFACE—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to hold charge of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Assam, and was on tour for 170 days, travelled 4,945 miles by rail,
946 miles by steamer and 728 miles by road and boat.
2. The following hospitals and dispensaries were inspected by me :—
Shillong and Nowgmg 3 times, Silchar twice, and Sylhet, Karimganj,
Maulvi Bazar, Srimangal, Habiganj, Sunamganj, Dhubri, Bilashipara,
Goalpara, Tezpur, Sibsagar, Nazira, Jorhat, Mariani, Golaghat, Dibru-
girh and Tinsukia once each. The cattle and sheep of the Upper
Shillong Farm were inspected by me twice. Outbreaks of rinderpest
and inoculation results were inspected at Fulbari in the Garo Hills,
Barpani and Pantharamba (Khasi and Jaintia Hills), Panikhaiti and
Tambulpur (Kamrup) and in the district of Sylhet where an extensive
outbreak occurred. Sheep disease at S napur (Kamrup) and Shillong,
Surra outbreak at Nowgong, disease of elephants at Limakuri (Lakhim-
pur) and Gauhati, and Anthrax outbreak at Shillong were also investi-
gated by me. The breeding bulls at Silchar were inspected during
my visit there.
3. The candidates for Government and Local Board Veterinary stipends
were examined by me before they were sent to the College.
4. I attended the conference of the Board of Agriculture held at Pusa in
February.
5. As in previous years 1 attended the Bengal Veterinary College as a member
of the Board of Examiners and examined in the following subjects :—Bovine
Medicine, Operative Surgery, Shoeing, Anatomy and Chemistry.
6. In the Laboratory at headquarters 325 specimens were examined, amongst
which 57 were Anthrax; 39 Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia, 8 Surra and one Epizootic
Lymphangitis Cutaneous, intestinal and blood parasites were examined and a
diagnosis given which aided the Assistants in their treatment of cases. In the
previous year 183 specimens were examined.
PART I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTIONS.
7. During the year under report there were 15 Government stipendiaries
attending the Bengal Veterinary College at Calcutta. They were distributed in
the various classes as follows :—

NO private student attended the College from this Province during the
year.
8. One of the two Government stipendiaries (a Khasi boy) who passed the
final Dipoloma Examination this year stood first in order of merit and gained several
prizes. The qualified for qualified Assistants remains as great as ever.
PART II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
9. Table II shows the number of deaths from contagious diseases reported
during the year. Reports have been received from all the districts except Lushai
Hills.
10. The total mortality reported from contagious diseases as compared with
the previous three years is as follows :—

41,104
2,317
These statistics were compiled from the returns furnished by the District
Officers and have been checked by the Veterinary Assistants as far as possible
but they are only approximately correct. A large number of cattle died for want
of fodder and general insanitary conditions caused by floods in some districts of
the Province. Part of this increase is no doubt due to better reporting.
EQUINES.
11. Glanders.—There
were no cases reported from any district.
12. Anthrax.—There
were 29 deaths reported from 6 districts during the
year. In the previous year 32 deaths were reported from 5 districts. Diagnosis
was confirmed by microscopic examination in all districts except Goalpara from
which no specimen was received for examination.
13. Surra.—Twenty-five
deaths have been reported from 3 districts during
the year against 17 from 4 districts in the previous year. Diagnosis was confirmed
by microscopical examination in all districts. There was an extensive outbreak
of Surra in Nowgong district which caused a loss of 20 animals.
14. Dourine.—No
case of dourine was reported during the year.
15. Epizootic
Lymphangitis.—There
was one case reported from the district
of Darrang. Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic examination. The case
was not destroyed till after the end of the year.
16. Other contagious diseases.—The
number of deaths from other contagious
diseases is 61 against 574 of previous year but no details are available.
BOVINES.
17. Rinderpest.—This
disease was prevalent in all districts of the Province
except Lushai Hills and Naga Hills, and caused 21,246 deaths against 9,954 in
the previous year. This increase was duo to the extensive outbreak of this disease
in Sylhet district which was of a very virulent type and which caused 8,444 deaths.
In the previous year Lakhimpur reported the heaviest mortality.
