FROM
J. McSWINEY, ESQ., I.C.S.,
DIRECTOR OF LAND RECORDS AND AGRICULTURE, ASSAM,
To
THE CHIEF SECRETARY TO THE CHIEF COMMISSIONER
OF ASSAM.
Dated Shillong, the 26th June 1019.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward the annual report on the working of the
Civil Veterinary Department during the year ending 31st March 1919, together with
a brief report on the veterinary work in the Manipur State.
2. Mr. Harris held charge of the Department throughout the year and was on
tour for 176 days against 187 in the preceding year. He inspected the work of
28 out of 33 Veterinary Assistants employed in district work : those omitted were
all inspected in the previous year. He inspected outbreaks and checked the results
of serum inoculation. The number of days spent on tour by the Inspectors of Sibhar
and Dibrugarh circles was larger than in the last year, and all three inspected the
work of all the Assistants in their respective circles, besides attending outbreaks.
The Veterinary Inspector at Gauhati also attends the laboratory work at head-
quarters, where 271 specimens against 218 of last year wore examined. I inspected
the dispensaries at Silchar, Sylhet, Karimganj, Patharkandi, Dhuhri, Nowgong,
Tezpur, Jorhat, Barpeta, Nalbari, Mangaldai and Behali. The Chief: Commissioner
inspected the last four and also Srimangal, Tinsukia and Kohima.
3. In the year under report there were 20 stipendiaries of the Province in the
Bengal Veterinary College, of whom six were in the 1st, five in the 2nd and nine
in the 3rd year class. Eight stipendiary students, having passed in their final exami-
nation, have since been appointed Veterinary Assistants. Four and five of the first
and second year, respectively, were successful in their class examinations : of those
who failed, one of the third year has been allowed to continue his stipend. As the
cadre of Veterinary Assistants is now complete, only two stipendiaries have been
sent in April 1939 with a view to providing for retirements and other casualties.
At present there are 12 Government and 4 Local Board stipendiaries in the
College.
4. Rinderpest, foot-and-mouth disease and hæmorrhagic septicaemia form the
principal diseases which the Department has to combat. It is gratifying to note
that in comparison with the previous year there has been a general decrease during
the year under report in the deaths from contagious diseases, especially amongst
the bovines. The total number of deaths from contagious diseases reported this year
was 20,819 as against 60,710 in 1917-18, the figures generally, including those for
rinderpest, being lower than those of the preceding year. The percentage of deaths
from rinderpest was about 37 against 49 of the previous year. The heaviest mortality
from this disease occurred in Sibsagar. Though these figures are satisfactory, as far
as they go, it cannot but be admitted that they are not altogether reliable. Nearly
70 per cent, of the deaths were reported from the Brahmaputra Valley. It is proba.
ble that the high figure is partly, at least, due to better reporting there than in the
other division rather than to more favourable conditions I am afraid that I have
Prescribed maximum length—8 pages exclusive of covering
letter and appendices]
REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, ASSAM.
FOR THE YEAR
1918-19.
PREFACE.—GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report I continued to hold charge of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Assam, and was on tour for 176 days, travelling 6,435 miles by rail,
510 miles by steamer and 1,104 miles by road.
2. The following dispensaries and hospitals were inspected by me :—Shillong and
Gauhati three times, Silchar, Karimganj, Nalbari, Jorhat, Mariani and Badlipar,
twice each, Sylhet, Patharkandi, Maulvi Bazar, Srimangal, Habiganj, Kohima, Dhubri,
Goalpara, Barpeta, Tezpur, Behali, Mangaldai, Sibsagar, Nazira, Golaghat and North
Lakhimpur once each. In the districts outbreaks of contagious diseases were
investigated and results of serum inoculation were checked. The cattle of the Upper
Shillong Farm were inspected by me.
3. I attended the Veterinary Conference held at Lahore in March 1919. As in
previous years, I attended the Bengal Veterinary College as a member of the Board
of Examiners.
4. In the laboratory at headquarters 271 specimens were examined, of which 57
were found to be Anthrax, 38 Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia and 3 Surra. In the previous
year 218 specimens were examined.
PART I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
6. During the year 20 Government stipendiaries attended the Bengal Veterinary
College and they were distributed as below :—

The student in Class C did not appear at the examination on account of illness.

the examination.
8. During the year a nalband was deputed at the cost of the Local Administra-
tion to the Bengal Veterinary College to undergo a course of training in horse-shoeing
for a period of 4 months from the 29th December 1918. On his return he will work
in Shillong.
PART II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
9. Table II shows the approximate number of deaths from contagions diseases
reported during the year. The most salient feature of the report is that there has
been a general decrease in the mortality from contagious diseases, as compared with
that of the previous year. It was specially low amongst bovines.
10. The total mortality reported from contagious diseases as compared with the
previous two years is as follows : —

These figures are furnished by the District Officers and have been checked by
the Veterinary Assistants as far as possible.
EQUINES.
11. Glanders.—Some cases of suspected glanders were tested during the year,
but on test they proved not to be glanders.
There was one death reported from Khasi and Jaintia Hills. This case died
before the animal could be put on mallein test.
12. Anthrax.—Forty
deaths were reported from 6 districts during the year
against 35 deaths from 7 districts in the previous year. Diagnosis was confirmed
by microscopical examination in all the districts.
13. Surra.—There were 10 deaths reported from Sylhet district. Diagnosis was
confirmed by microscopical examination in 3 cases. In the previous year 13 deaths
were reported from 4 districts.
14. Dourine and Epizoolic Lymphangitis.—No such diseases were reported during
the year.
15. Other contagious diseases.—The number of deaths from other contagious
diseases was 130 against Go in the previous year, but no details were available.
BOVINES.
16. Rinderpest.—During the year 7,239 deaths were reported from 10 districts.
In the previous year 29,808 deaths were reported from 11 districts. The biggest
mortality was reported from Sibsagar district.

mentioned for satisfactory work. The intellectual standard of the majority is low and
only a few show any natural aptitude for the work. A more suitable class of men
may ultimately be induced to take up Veterinary work when the pay and prospects
are improved. It is difficult at present to find suitable Assistants for the higher and
more responsible departmental posts.
40. The following Veterinary Inspectors are mentioned as having carried out
their duties in a satisfactory and competent manner :—
Babu Guru Prasanna Sen, Veterinary Inspector, Silchar Circle and Babu Srish
Chandra Ghosh, Veterinary Inspector, Gauhati Circle.
41. To improve the accuracy of cattle-disease reports and the cattle mortality
statistics, I would suggest that it might be an advantage to give three or four simple
lectures on the procedure of reporting outbreaks, the necessity for prompt and
accurate reporting the value of segregation, etc., to gatherings of village chowkidars.
These lectures might also be given with advantage in the training school for consta-
bles, if not already done.
42. The condition of the bullocks owned or employed by some of the Munici-
palities in Assam leaves much to be desired. By care and proper treatment they
should be a good example to cattle owners, but 1 am afraid the opposite is often the
case.
43. The number of cases brought to hospitals for treatment under the Cruelty
to Animals Act is still very small. More advantage might be taken of the Act to
reduce the amount of cruelty which exists.
44. A sufficient supply of serum has been received during the year. The
number of doses received this year and previous years is as follows ;—
