Bated Patna, the 7 th September 1923,
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit herewith, in duplicate, the
Annual Report of the Civil Veterinary Department, Bihar and
Orissa, for the year 1922-23.
I have the honour to he,
SIR,
Your most obedient Servant,
D. QUINLAN, M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S.,
Director, Civil Veterinary Department, and Veterinary
Adviser to the Government of Bihar and Orissa.
ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT,
BIHAR AND ORISSA
FOR THE YEAR 1922-23.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
1. THE department, during April, May and June, while
was still on leave, was in charge of Captain P. B. Riley, who
officiated as Director and Veterinary Adviser, at the same time
acting as Deputy Director of the North Bihar range ; for the-
remaining portion of the year, I carried out the above duties.
Captain G. G Howard, the third Imperial officer, continued to
act as a leave reserve officer, as he was not given charge of the
Orissa range, owing to funds not being voted for the opening of
the office and laboratory at Cuttack.
2. The veterinary hospitals and dispensaries at Patna,
Dinapur, Gaya, Nawada, Aurangabad Bhagalpur, Banks,
Monghyr, Jamui, Sahebganj, Cuttack, Puri, Balasore, Bhadrak,
Angul Phulbani, Sambalpur, Bargarh, Ranchi, Khunti, Hazari-
bagh, Palamau, Purulia, Dhanbad and Chaibassa were inspected.
A visit was also paid to Jamshedpur with a view to opening a
hospital there, but it is doubtful if this can be done owing to
shortage of funds.
3. A visit was paid to the North Bihar range to inspect the
office of the Deputy Director at Muzaffarpur and to select young
stock at the Sipaya farm and at Bettiah for the Director of Agri-
culture, to whom all breeding operations have now been transfer-
red. I acted as a member and President of the veterinary exa-
mination board and in February attended the second veterinary
conference held at Calcutta. I was on tour for 142 days.
2
4. While Captain Riley Was in charge of the South Bihar
range in addition to the usual office routine, he conducted the pro-
fessional examination of the veterinary inspectors and assistant
surgeons held in April. He was on tour for thirty-nine days.
5. As in the previous year, Captain Howard worked in the
laboratory and while at headquarters, helped in the disposal
of routine work. He inspected the veterinary hospitals and
dispensaries at Bankipnr, Bihar, Gaya, Nawada, Jahanabad,
Aurangabad, Bhagalpur, Banka, Monghyr, Jamui, Dumka,
Deoghur, Cuttack, Puri, Balasore and Ranchi; he visited the
Sonepur fair ; attended the professional examinations held in
April ; acted as an examiner at the annual examinations of the
Agricultural College, Sabour, and attended the veterinary con-
ference. It is a great pity that Captain Howard could not
be placed in charge of the Orissa range. This is a very
backward tract and wants the undivided attention of a whole
time officer to bring the value of the different prophylactic
measures adopted by the department to the notice of the
raiyats, as well as to organize the reporting of disease, which
is very indifferent. The question of supervising veterinary
activities in the Feudatory States will also form part of the duties
of this officer, but nothing much can be done in this direction
until more money becomes available.
NORTH BIHAR RANGE.
6. Captain P. B. Riley held charge of the range, while Babu
Nilmani Chattarji acted as an Assistant Director throughout the
year. The former officer inspected all the hospitals and dis-
penoaries in the area, except Kishanganj; visited the important
fairs and the cattle-breeding farms at Sipaya and Bettiah ;
attended the veterinary conference and acted as President as
well as examiner of the veterinary examination board. He was
also a member of the Board of Examiners at the Madras Veteri-
nary College. He was on tour for 137 days.
7. Money for the construction of a residence, office and
small laboratory for the Deputy Director at Muzaffarpur was
voted by the Council.
It is intended to expend a sum of
Rs. 50,791 on this project. The work will be taken in hand
during the coming year.
8. Already the presence of the Imperial Officer in this circle
is being felt, and in the course of another twelve months or so the
3
tightening up process which is in hand will he of benefit to all
persons who in future will have any dealings with the department.
More attention is being given to the diagnosis of disease, while a
considerable saving of time has accrued through the opening of
the serum depôt.
9. The record of work as exemplified in the statistics shows
how well Captain Riley has been carrying out his duties, and
I accordingly bring it to the notice of Government.
VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
10. The scheme for the opening of a Veterinary College at
Patna received further consideration, but no definite decision.
has so far been arrived at. An estimate, however, for a larger
and better equipped college involving an outlay of approximately
Rs. 4,60,000 has been prepared and submitted.
11. As regards the Bengal Veterinary College, the Govern-
ment of Bengal demand an increased contribution of Rs. 67,000
towards its maintenance on the basis of actual expenditure. At
an informal conference in Calcutta, the question of the reduction
of the contribution was discussed by representatives of both
Governments, but no decision as to the exact amount to be paid
for the training of the boys was arrived at. This question is co-
related to the scheme for establishing a college of our own, and is
awaiting final settlement.
12. The number of applicants for admission to the College is
low but the standard of education is still satisfactory. Altoge-
ther eleven boys were admitted, against fifteen of the previous
year. Of these, seven were granted stipends by local bodies, one by
the Bettiah Raj, two by the Feudatory States, and one was
admitted as a private student. No candidate appeared for the
Government stipends of which two were vacant, and five were held
by boys in the second and third year classes. At the end of the
year, there were 39 students from this province on the roll, and
of these, 25 were Hindus, 10 Muhammadans and 4 Indian
Christians.
13. No State scholar was sent to the United Kingdom for
veterinary training during the year. It is, however, the intention
of Government to select a candidate during 1923-24.
14. As a substitute for the two years' course of training in
Tngland for the officers of the provincial service, it was decided
by the Government of India to open for them instead, a class
at the Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory, Muktesar. A trial
4
course for 18 months was accordingly started, and the Assistant
Director Rai Sahib Priya Nath Das was deputed there by Govern¬
ment from 3rd July 1922.
15. A short course of two and a half months for officers of the
Indian Veterinary Service has also been instituted at Muktear
and Captain Howard has been deputed to attend it early in the
present year.
TABLE II.
TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
16. A reference to the enclosed map will show that contagi-
ous diseases of cattle were prevalent in all districts of the province,
And as usual, the virulence of the outbreaks was more conspicuous
in South Bihar and Chota Nagpur than in the areas north of the
Ganges. As compared with the previous year, the incidence of
rinderpest was about the same, but hæmorrhagic septicæmia
was more widespread and caused greater mortality than was
recorded in either of the two previous years. There seems to
have been a recrudescence also of foot and mouth disease, which
affected large numbers of cattle in parts of Chota Nagpur and
Orissa, and in consequence, the mortality appears to be higher
than in the previous year. Altogether 6,452 outbreaks of the
contagious diseases were reported, against 4,876 reported in 1921-
22 and 5,050 in 1920-21, the increase of 1,576 outbreaks over the
previous year's figure being mostly attributable to the increased
prevalence of foot and mouth disease. Active preventive mea-
sures were adopted wherever possible and the results on the
whole were satisfactory.
