APPENDIX A.
Report on the Veterinary Administration of the Manipur State for the year 1913-14.
1. Personnel*—Babu Krishna Narain, Veterinary Assistant, has continued in charge throughout
the year, under the supervision of the Vice-President, Manipur State Durbar. He has worked very
satisfactorily, as has the compounder, Thokeham Mangaljao Singh. Negotiations are in progress for
.reading the latter to the Belgaehia Veterinary College for training.
2. Tours.—The Veterinary Assistant visited 121 villages outside the 5-mile radius. He was on
tour for 87 days, travelling 1,004 miles. The decrease in his touring is clue to the fact that there was
no severe outbreak of Rinderpest as in the previous year.
3. Contagious diseases,—The number of animals known to have died of contagious diseases during
the year under report was 1,839.
Equities.—There
has been no record of any contagious disease among ponies.
Bovines,—(a) Rinderpest was reported from only 29 villages, as against 348 in the previous
year, and the number of deaths was only 1,791 as against 25,347. The Veterinary Assistant visited
20 out of the 29 villages affected-
(b) Foot-and-mouth disease broke out in 8 villages, as against four in 1912-13. The Veterinary
assistant visited all the outbreaks. Nineteen deaths occurred.
other infectious diseases were reported among cattle.

5. In-pntiev4s.—The
new Veterinary Dispensary was completed in October, 1913, and was
occupied from 1st November, 1918. In if there is accommodation for in-patients and 43 were admitted
. the last six months of the year, of which 42 were discharged as cured.
6. OHt-paiients.-These is a decrease in the number of out-patients from 2,607 in the previous
year to 1,664 during the year under report. This is not due to any prejudice against the Veterinary
assistant or the dispensary, but to the com panrative freedom from contagious diseases.
The Veterinary Assistant, performed 14 major and 13 minor operations as against 16 major and
minor operations in the previous year.

6. The number of outbreaks in the province has been gradually decreasing. The
Superintendent observes that, since the extension of the present system of reporting
outbreaks of cattle disease, some progress has been noticed, but there is still great room
for improvement. With growing knowledge among the people of what can be done
to check contagious diseases, there should be great progress.
7. During this year Itinerant Assistants visited 7,533 villages and treated 17,633
animals for contagious and 55,494 for non-cantagious diseases besides castrating 174
animals. The corresponding figures for the previous year were 6,680, 16,263, 49,213
and 118. The progress in this direction is most gratifying. The importance of work
in villages cannot, I think, be overestimated.
8. During the year under report there were only 2 hospitals, one at Shillong and
one at Silchar. A third one has since been opened at Gauhati and has been declared
to be an infirmary, like the Shillong hospital. The Superintendent has also been
furnished with a laboratory.
9. In connection with the breeding of cattle, Mr. Blackwood's report on cattle
census is being still awaited. A scheme for cattle breeding in Manipur is now under
consideration. The breeding of sheep at the Upper Shillong Farm has not, for
various reasons which need not now be enumerated, been, on the whole, a success.
The question of whether it should not be discontinued has lately been raised and is
likely to be decided shortly.
10. The staff of the Department during the year was reinforced by 5 new gradua-
tes but the strength was reduced by the resignation of 4 assistants. The total strength
at the end of the year was 38 Veterinary Assistants and 3 Inspectors : of these
31 Assistants were under Local Boards, 2 in hill districts, 4 in the Reserve and 1 on
the staff. It will take some time to bring the number up to the sanctioned cadre of
51, as vacant posts can be filled only when qualified men are available.
11. Attention is invited to the remarks of Mr. Harris in paragraph 43 on the
subject of reports of outbreaks and in paragraph 45 on that of the greater use which
might be made of Veterinary Hospitals in connection with cases of cruelty. Credit is
due to Mr. Harris for his energetic administration of the Department. The inspectors
appear to have worked satisfactorily, on the whole. It is gratifying to observe that
Mr. Harris has been able to refer to the good work done by a considerable proportion of
the staff of Assistants working under him. The supply of suitable men is not great
and the difficulties of managing the Department are considerable. In spite of this
progress has been and will, I venture to predict, continue to be made.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
A. R. EDWARDS,
Director of Land Records and Agriculture, Assam.

REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT,
ASSAM,
FOR THE YEAR
1914-1915.
PREFACE.—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to bold charge of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Assam, and was on tour for 193 days, travelled 3,986 miles by rail,
1,381 miles by steamer and 1,644 miles by road.
2. The following hospitals and dispensaries were inspected by me :—
Shillong five times, Tezpur three times, Habiganj twice, Silchar, Hailakand ,
Karimganj, Maulvi Bazar, Srimangal, Kohima (Naga Hills), Dhubri,
Goalpara, Gauhati, Barpeta, Mangaldai, Nowgong, Sibsagar, Nazira, Jorhat,
Moriani, Golaghat, Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, North Lakhimpur and Tura (Garo
Hills) once each. The cattle and sheep of the Upper Shillong Farm were
inspected by me twice. Outbreaks of rinderpest and the inoculation work
were inspected by me at several tea gardens in Doomdooma (Lakhimpur).
Sheep-disease at Upper Shillong Farm, Surra at Amchang (Kamrup),
Amluckie and Kelly den Tea Estates (Nowgong) and Shillong, Glanders at
Shillong, an outbreak of anthrax at Tezpur, distomatosis in Kamrup and
several other outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease were all investigated by
me. I inspected the breeding bulls and their progeny at Silchar and
Karimganj. A search was made for breeding bulls in the Garo Hills during
my tour there without any result. I attended the Agricultural Show at
Shillong and assisted in the judging of live-stock. At the request of the
Chairman, Gauhati Municipality, 32 horses of the ghariwallas were examined
for fitness before registration, and three were rejected as being unsuitable.
Several elephants were examined for soundness before purchase by Govern-
ment, other sick ones were examined and their disease investigated.
3. Candidates for Government and Local Board Veterinary stipends were
examined so that only suitable men would be sent to the college.
4. 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, Hygiene and Operative Surgery.
5. In the Laboratory 183 specimens were examined, of which 32 were found to
be anthrax, 14 Hæmorrhagic Septicæemia and 12 Surra. Besides these several other
cutaneous, intestinal and blood parasites were examined from time to time.
PART I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
6. During the year under report there were 7 Government stipendiaries attending
the Bengal Veterinary College. They were distributed as follows :—

46. In the Barpeta subdivision an outbreak of contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia,
was reported. This is the first occasion on which this disease has been brought to the
direct notice of the Department in Assam.
47. The office and dispensary were removed to the new buildings on the 1st Janu-
ary, 1915, the laboratory building was occupied in May last and the other buildings for
the accommodation of in-patients are approaching completion. Considerable damage
to the new buildings was done by the tornado on the 3rd April 1915.
48. The office establishment under the control of the Head Clerk, Babu Surendra
Nath Roy, has carried out its work efficiently and satisfactorily.
