RESOLUTION.
Dated Patna, the 5th December 1930.
READ—
The annual report of the Civil Veterinary Department for the year
1929-30.
Organization and staff.—Major P. B. Riley, i.v.s., continued
to remain in officiating charge of the department throughout
the year. There was also no change in the superior staff
and organization of the department with the exception that
it was found possible with effect from the 22nd May 1929
to effect a partial separation of the Central Range from
the office of the Director, by placing Assistant Director
Babu Nlmoni Chattarji in semi-independent charge. This
separation only meant a reshuffling of work and the superior
staff continues to be extremely inadequate inasmuch as it
consists of only one special officer and two Assistant Directors
against a sanctioned strength of 3 Deputy and 3 Assistant
Directors for the three big ranges into which the province is
divided for veterinary purposes. Government have now seriously
taken up the question of creation of the Superior Veterinary
Service, class I, to take the place of the Indian Veterinary
Service and when the proposals mature and what is more
important, when the financial situation of the province permits,
Government hope to take steps to strengthen the superior staff
so as to ensure that the working of the department throughout
the province is properly supervised and the utmost use made of
the large sums which are being spent by Government and local
bodies on the treatment of animals and more particularly on
preventive inoculation.
2
2. Training and research.—The buildings of the new
Veterinary College were completed during the year at a cost of
about Rs. 8 lakhs including water-supply and electric installa-
tion. Government were also fortunate enough to secure the
services of Mr. R. T. Davis, I.v.s., as Principal and he joined
his post by the end of March 1930, in order t get everything
ready to start the college on the 1st July 1930. It was not
possible to recruit the Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology
and Research Officer during the year, but the post has been
filled since by Mr. Malkani, late Research Officer at Muktesar,
who joined his appointment on the 30th September 1930.
Dr. A. C. Chaudhuri, B.SC, Ph. D. (Edin.) was appointed
Professor of Hygiene, Dietetics and Animal Breeding, Messrs.
G. N. Roy Chaudhuri, G.BV.C. and J. M. Lahiri, M.R.C.V.S.,
were appointed Professors of Surgery and Obstetrics, and
Anatomy and Physiology, respectively, after receiving a course
of practical training preliminary to their appointment. Arrange-
ments were similarly made to fill the other subordinate posts and
the college has been opened with effect from the 1st July 1930.
The Bihar and Orissa students at Belgachia joined the Patna
Veterinary College with effect from the same date. Government
trust that the facilities for higher veterinary education which
have now been made available to students in this province will be
utilised to the utmost and that all local bodies will give their
wholehearted support to the new institution by creating an
increased number of stipends and what is more important by
increasing their staff of stationary and touring veterinary
assistant surgeons so as to absorb the increased output of
qualified men.
The State scholar, Mr. S. K. Sen, has since satisfactorily
completed his studies and qualified as an M. R. C. V. S. He
returned to India since the close of year and it is hoped to absorb
him very soon in the superior staff.
3. Diseases of animals.—The total number of outbreaks
reported during the year was further reduced from 6,852 last
year to 6,660. The death-rate from rinderpests and haemor-
rhagic septicæmia was, however, abnormal particularly in the
Orissa Range and as a result the number of deaths recorded went
up from 27,767 in 1928-29 to 35,543. The number of deaths in
the preceding two years only amounted to 14,251 in 1927-28
(8,394 outbreaks) and 9,179 in 1926-27 (5,151 outbreaks) and it
appears that the mortality from contagious diseases has steadily
gone up since 1926-27 though the number of outbreaks remained
3
fairly normal. Government hope that the Director will
carefully examine the reasons for increased mortality during the
current year and submit to them a special report on the subject.
4. Preventive inoculation.—The
number of inoculations
performed showed a slight decrease from 328,153 in 1928-29 to
324,032 in 1929-30. There was an increase in the number of
inoculations performed in North Bihar and the Central Range
which was, however, more than counterbalanced by a decrease
of nearly 28,000 inoculations in the Orissa Range. Even so,
the total expenditure on serum and vaccine throughout the
province amounted to nearly Rs. 2 lakhs and Government had to
find in addition to the ordinary provision of Rs. 5,000 in the
Veterinary budget for giving aid to district boards, the following
additional sums :—

Forgiving additional aid to local bodies ...
Cost of sera and vaccine in Hazaribagh winch the
district board was not in a position to pay.
Additional amount spent in various veterinary

estates.

Total ...
Rs.
20,000
14,003

The total expenditure from Government revenues on this
account thus amounted to a grand total of Rs. 78,638 as against
a total expenditure in previous years as noted below :—
1926-27 ... ... ...
1927-28 ... ... ...
1928-29 ... ... ...
Rs.
7,075
10,505
32,691
The provincial revenues are unfortunately not in a position
to undertake any further commitments.
Government
also
recognise the fact that the finances of local bodies are more
or less in the same position. Unless the cost of sera and vaccine
is materially reduced or some alternative method of treatment
adopted a deadlock will be reached which will make farther
progress extremely difficult.

5. Breeding operations.—The
Veterinary Department is
directly concerned only with the Patna cattle-breeding and
dairy farm, though it indirectly assists the work of cattle-breeding
throughout the province by eliminating scrub bulls. The total
number of castrations performed during the year amounted
to 71,927 as compared with 33,667 in 1928-29 and 7,931 in
1927-28. It appears that the Burdizzo method is becoming
increasingly popular in North Bihar on account of its absence of
fatalities and failures.
The Patna cattle-breeding and dairy farm remained in
charge of Mr. A. H. Spearman, until the 3lst December 1929
when the live-stock inspector Babu N. N. Ghosh took over
charge on completion of his training at Bangalore and Karnal.
6 Precention of cruelty to animals.—The Bihar and. Orissa
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals continues to
do good work and the scope of its operations is being slowly
extended. The efforts made by the inspector employed by the
Patna City Municipality under the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals Act appear to have been very successful.
Govern-
ment are!also pleased to note the efforts which are being
made for the amelioration of the condition of animals through-
out the province by means of propaganda at the various fairs
and shows which indicate an awakening of the social conscience.
7. Government trust that while the financial situation
necessarily imposes very strict limitations on further expansion
and progress, the department will take advantage of this period
to carry on a rigid introspection with a view to consolidate its
works and utilise the resources at its disposal to the utmost
by effecting rigid economies wherever possible and by diverting
available funds to the most fruitful channels.
Government are also pleased to note the names of officers
commended by the Officiating Director for good work and their
thanks are due to Mr. Garewal for his interesting 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
