No. 1878-D.
GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR AND ORISSA.
(MINISTRY OF EDUCATION.)
RESOLUTION.
The 10th November 1934.
READ—
The annual report of the Civil Veterinary Department for the year
1933-34.
Major P. B. Riley, I.V.S., held charge of the department
throughout the year. Mr. R. T. Davis, I.V.S., was in charge of
the Veterinary College as Principal except for a period of short
leave when Mr. P. G. Malkani officiated for him.
Mr. M. I. Malik went on leave for four months and Babu
J. L. Bose acted in his place as officer in charge of the North
Bihar Range. There was no other change in the superior staff.
2. The year under report was a comparatively healthy one.
The total number of outbreaks of epidemic diseases increased to
5,865 against 5,063 and 4,728 in the preceding two years and
the number of animals affected also showed a corresponding
increase. But, the number of deaths was only 14,973 against
20,896 and 21,684 in the two previous years. The number of
cattle protected by preventive inoculation increased from
164,232 in the previous year to 189,417, the improvement being
due partly to the reduction in the rate of sera and vaccine and
partly to the greater use of the improved goat virus method of
inoculation. The mortality due to rinderpest showed a consi-
derable decline, while the majority of the outbreaks of foot and
mouth disease were particularly mild.
3. The number of veterinary hospitals and dispensaries has
remained stationary at 33 for the last five years, though the
number of patients treated has increased to 91,527 against
63,286 in the same number of hospitals in 1929-30. The
number of field veterinary dispensaries has been reduced during
the year under report from 138 to 134, though the number of
patients treated has increased from 76,313 to 100,730. It is
obvious that there is considerable pressure on the existing
hospitals and dispensaries and it is necessary to establish more
2
hospitals and to increase the field staff to enable the department
to start more field veterinary dispensaries. The matter is
primarily for the consideration of the local bodies and it may
be hoped that they will utilise the savings effected in their
budget on account of the reduced expenditure on sera and
vaccine to effect the necessary improvement.
4. The Patna cattle-breeding and dairy farm appears to
have been managed with efficiency and success. The average
milk yield per cow increased from 8.7 lbs to 9 lbs. while the
total milk yield increased from 279,000 lbs. to 327,000 lbs.
The total revenue slightly decreased from Rs. 54,573 to
Rs. 53,681 while the expenditure increased from Rs. 46,940
to Rs. 48,241. The decrease in revenue was chiefly owing to
the milk being sold at six seers per rupee against five seers
while the expenditure includes the cost of a motor van for the
distribution of milk and the price of eight Tharparkar cows.
On the whole, the results may be said to have been satisfactory
though the average milk yield per cow per day is still far below
the figure of 19.4 lbs. at the Kanke farm under the Department
of Agriculture.
5. The Veterinary College records another year of useful
work and the results of the annual examinations were satis-
factory. The number of students is, however, low and every
attempt should be made to attract more students. Here again
the local bodies hold the key to the situation ; because, unless
they create more avenues of employment by increasing their
veterinary staff, it is difficult to make the college more popular.
6. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
has done good work and its finances have been placed on a more
stable footing. It may be hoped that the activities of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals coupled with
the propaganda work undertaken by the Department and the
activities of the Disease Investigation Officer will result in
ameliorating the condition of cattle throughout the province.
No lasting improvement can, however, be effected so long as the
number of cattle is largely in excess of requirements and little
interest is taken by the general public in the vitally important
question of improved breeding. The treatment of diseases and
preventive inoculation are no doubt essential, but these are
merely negative aspects of the cattle problem. Unless the
positive aspect of improving the breed is appreciated by the
public, no real improvement in the situation can be expected.
Large quantities of milk and milk products are being imported
3
into the country every year and there is almost unlimited scope
for a dairy industry if only the breed of cattle could be improved.
Government are prepared to supply suitable breeding bulls free
of charge but it is for local bodies to maintain them at suitable
centres and educate public opinion on this very important
question.
7. The disastrous earthquake of the 15th January 1934 is
reported to have been responsible for over 4,000 casualties
amongst cattle. The aftermath of the earthquake raised various
problems of which the more serious consequences were fortu-
nately averted by the prompt relief measures organised by
Government, by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals and by the Bihar Earthquake Distressed Cattle Belief
Committee.
8. In conclusion, Government in the Ministry of Education
are pleased to thank Major Riley for his efficient administration
of the Department during the year under report. Acknowledg-
ments are also due to Mr. Davis for the annual report.
ORDER.—Ordered that the resolution be published in the
Bihar and Orissa Gazette and that a copy of it, together with
a copy of the report, be submitted to the Government of India.
By order of the Government of Bihar and Orissa
(Ministry of Education),
B. K. GOKHALE,
Secretary to Government.
