Resolution on the Report of the Civil Veterinary Department,
Assam.
Extract from the Proceedings of the Chief Commissioner of Assam in the Revenue
Department, No. 2929R., dated the 26th August 1916.
READ—
The Report of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, on the Administra-
tion of the Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, for 1915-16, and the review thereon of
the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, Assam.
— — — — — — — R E S O L U T I O N .
THE year was an unhealthy one for live-stock and there was a large increase in the
reported deaths from contagious diseases. It would not be safe to attach too great
weight to the recorded statistics, but the severe iloods which visited the Surma Valley
are known to have affected animal life very seriously. Unfortunately the Department
was unable to obtain the increased establishment required to deal with these conditions.
One new recruit was secured, but as there were three casualties there was a positive
decrease in strength. A large number of candidates were, however, sent to the Train-
ing College, and it is hoped that the increase of pay which has recently been intro-
duced will attract a reasonable number of competent men.
2. Rinderpest was very virulent during the year and was responsible for nearly
half of the deaths from contagious diseases. Much inoculation work was done, and its
value can be judged from the fact that only about 1.4 per cent. of the inoculated
animals subsequently died. The Chief Commissioner hopes that the Department will
carry on its proselytising work amongst the villagers and endeavour to persuade them
to take more care of their cattle, He notices that more than 3,500 deaths were
ascribed to foot-and-mouth disease, though apparently the lives of most of these
animals could have been saved by proper treatment. There was an improvement in
the reporting of epidemics which is a step in the right direction,
3. Lack of funds renders it impossible to proceed with the scheme for the supply
of good bulls from Manipur. The question of improving the live-stock of the province
constantly engages the attention of the Chief Commissioner, but the efforts of Govern-
ment will be nullified if there is not full co-operation on the part of the raiyats. It is
useless to introduce good blood if its progeny is starved and left uncared for. Increased
care of cattle should, therefore, go hand in hand with any attempts that may be
made to improve the breed. This is a doctrine which the staff of the Veterinary
Department should be continually preaching in the villages.
4. The Department was well administered by Mr. Harris, and the Chief Commis-
sioner has read with pleasure his comments on the work of those assistants who have
done well.
ORDERED.—That a copy of this Resolution, of the report without appendices, the
review of the Director of Land Records and Agriculture, and the report on the
Veterinary Administration of the Manipur State be published in the Assam Gazette
for general information.

FROM
J. McSWINEY, ESQ., M.A., I.C.S.,
DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF LAND RECORDS AND
AGRICULTURE, ASSAM,
To
THE CHIEF 8ECEETAEY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER
OF ASSAM,
Dated Shillong, the 2nd July 1917.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward the Report of the Civil Veterinary Department
of this province for the year ending the 31st March 1917, together with a brief report
on veterinary work in the Manipur State, which is reproduced as Appendix A.
2. Mr. Harris held charge of the Department throughout the year. He was on
tour for 183 days against 170 in the preceding year and inspected the work of
all the Veterinary Assistants except those at Dhubri, Goalpara, Nowgong, Behali,
Bilashipara and Patharkandi. He also investigated outbreaks of contagious cattle-
disease and checked the results of inoculation. The number of days toured by two of
the three Inspectors was less than in the last year, but they inspected the work of all
the Veterinary Assistants in their respective circles three times on the average, besides
attending to outbreaks and doing miscellaneous work. Mr. Edwards and I inspected
the Veterinary Dispensaries at Silchar, Karimganj, Maulvi Bazar, Gauhati, Nalbari,
Barpeta, Dhubri, Goalpara, Tezpur, Mangaldai, Nowgong and Jorhat. The Chief
Commissioner visited the Gauhati hospital and the dispensary at Nalbari.
3. During the year under report there were 13 stipendiaries of the province in
the Bengal Veterinary College. Of these 4 were in the 3rd-year class including 2
Naga boys. They all passed the Diploma examination and one of the Naga boys
and a Muhammadan youth of the Assam Valley won several prizes. All of them
have since been appointed Veterinary Assistants in this province. Of the remaining
students in the College, 12 passed their class examination and two, who failed in the
annual examination, have been allowed to continue in the same class for another
year on the recommendation of the Principal. Six new students, as usual, have been
sent to the College as stipendiaries in the current year. There are thus 20 stipen-
diaries in the Bengal Veterinary College now and we shall soon be at the stage
when we shall be unable to find appointments for those qualified: consequently it
is a matter for consideration whether the number of stipends should not be reduced.
There were 3 Local Board stipendiaries and no private students during the year under
report.
4. The total number of deaths from contagious diseases among cattle reported
during the year under report was 47,932 against 43,536 in the previous year. The
increase is, doubtless, mostly due to better reporting, though the tigures are, on the
whole, unrealiable, it being impossible to ensure an approximation to accuracy.
8ome 44 per cent. of the mortality is due to rinderpest against 49 per cent. in the
preceding year. The heaviest mortality occurred in Kamrup where 8,072 animals
died against 3,759 in the previous year.

REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT,
ASSAM,
FOR THE YEAR
1916-17.
PREFACE—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to hold charge of the Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, and was on tour for 183 days travelling 6,428
miles by rail, 1,291 miles by steamer and 1,196 miles by road.
2. The following hospitals and dispensaries were inspected by me : —
Shillong three times, Silchar, Karimganj, Tezpur, Tinsukia, Dibrugarh and
Jorhat twice each ; Hailakandi, Sylhet, Habiganj, Golaghat, Badlipar,
North Lakhimpur, Mangaldai, Nalbari, Barpeta, Mariani, Nazira, Maulvi
Bazar and Sibsagar once each. The cattle and sheep of the Upper Shillong
Farm were inspected by me. I attended the horse and poultry show at
Shillong in September and acted as a judge in the show. In the districts
1 investigated outbreaks of contagious cattle-disease and enquired into and
checked the results of inoculation. In Tezpur a case of Epizootic Lym-
phangitis and in Shillong one case of Glanders were examined, certified,
destruction arranged and compensation given.
3. Seventy candidates for six Government and one Local Board stipends were
examined and the selected candidates sent to the College. As in previous years,
I attended the Bengal Veterinary College as a member of the Beard of Examiners
in the following subjects :—Bovine Medicine and Surgery and Operative Surgery,
Anatomy, Pharmacy and Therapeutics.
4. In the Laboratory at headquarters 128 specimens were examined of which 59
were found to be Anthrax, 16 Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia, 3 Surra, one Epizootic
Lymphangitis and one Glanders. In the previous year 325 specimens were examined
in the Laboratory.

PART II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
7. Table II shows the number of deaths from contagious diseases reported during
the year.
8. The total mortality reported from contagious diseases as compared with the
three previous years is as follows :—

These statistics were compiled from the returns furnished by the District Officers,
and though checked by the Veterinary Assistants as far as possible, they are only
approximately correct. The mortality reported from foot-and-mouth disease is
reported to be 5,737 ; as this disease is not a malignant and virulent one in this pro-
vince, the death-rate is very small, probably about one per cent. A considerable
number of cattle die from the sequelae due to neglect which causes Septicaemia
and Gangrene.
EQUINES.
9. Glanders.—One case was reported from the Khasi and Jaintia Hills and was
destroyed under the Glanders and Farcy Act.
10. Anthrax.—There were 42 deaths reported from 5 districts against 29 deaths
from 6 districts of the previous year. Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic exami-
nation in all districts.
11. Surra.—Twenty-six deaths were reported from 5 districts against 25 deaths
from 3 districts of the previous year. During the year the occurrence of the disease
was reported to the Department as follows :—
One case from Kamrup, one from Darrang and one from Nowgong. No report
was received from Sibsagar or Garo Hills.
12. Dourine.—This disease has not yet been found in Assam.
13. Epizootic Lymphangitis.—One case was found in Darrang which was report-
ed and destroyed under the Glanders and Farcy Act.
14. Other contagious diseases.—The mortality under this head was 192 against 61
of the previous year, but no particulars of this mortality are available.
BOVINES.
15. Rinderpest.—The mortality under this head was 20,817 against 21,246 of
the previous year. Last year the heaviest mortality was from Sylhet district; this
year Kamrup and Sylhet report the heaviest mortality.
7
lecture was given on the general principles of shoeing and the Farrier Sergeants were
instructed in their work and afterwards written and practical examinations were held
in which all the candidates passed.
44. The Veterinary Assistants of the Department were asked to volunteer for
military duty in India. After a considerable lapse of time, six out of 36 ultimately
volunteered and were accepted and joined at various dep6ts. Five are still serving and
one was returned by the Military Department as unsuitable. It was disappointing
that more men did not volunteer, as they lost an opportunity of gaining experience in
both general and professional matters which would have greatly benefited and helped
them throughout their career.
45. For the Indian Defence Force two have volunteered, 19 have stated that they
are not willing or cannot join owing to circumstances and 18 have not yet replied.
46. Towards the end of the year I had an opportunity of visiting Manipur State
and inspecting the cattle and the Veterinary dispensary. The dispensary is well
equipped and is doing good work.
47. Office work.—The office staff under the control of the Head Clerk, Babu
Surendra Nath Roy, has carried out its work efficiently and satisfactorily.

Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Assam.
