A. & O. G. P. (C. V. D.) No. 1—350-14-9-1923—M. M. G.
No. 2738-D.
GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR AND ORISSA,
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT.
DEVELOPMENT BRANCH.
RESOLUTION
The 26th October 1923.
READ—
The annual report of the Civil Veterinary Department for the year
Mr. D QUINLAN, the 'permanent Director and Veterinary
Adviser, returned from leave early in July and took charge of the
department for the remainder of the year from Capt. P. B. Riley,
who had been officiating for him. Captain G. G. Howard, the
third Imperial officer, remained attached to the southern range.
2. Organization.—After Captain Riley's return from Patna
and the opening of a serum depot in Muzaffarpur in October
1922, the North Bihar Range attained its complete organization,
and, as the report shows, the districts north of the Ganges have
already begun to feel the effect. In particular, there has been
an appreciable increase in the number of cattle inoculated in
this area, where the Veterinary Adviser reports that this form
of treatment was previously not very popular. Government are
convinced that the full benefit of the department will not be
felt, until the Orissa range is also opened. There are now two
Imperial Service officers in South Bihar, and both economy and
efficiency will be attained by posting Captain Howard as soon as
possible to Cuttack. At present, owing to distance and bad
communications, neither inspection nor the supply of sera can
be satisfactorily carried out from Patna, with the result that
the Orissa districts suffer. Government have, therefore,
decided to station Captain Howard at Cuttack with effect
2
from the 1st November next, with such staff as has already been
sanctioned, and to place proposals for the establishment of a
laboratory and serum dep6t there before the new Legislative
Council.
3. Education and training.—The staff for the department
continues to be trained at Belgachia, but the number of appli-
cants is still too few to meet requirements. The proposal to
establ sh a separata college for this province was again discussed
by the Advisory Board. The Veterinary Adviser had been
requested to prepare a scheme for a college on the university
site at Phulwari, which it was thought would not be required,
but in view of the report of the University Committee, he has
now been asked to investigate other possible sites for a college
in some central place in Bihar. Provision has been made in the
budget for 1923-24 for sending a State scholar to the United
Kingdom for veterinary training with a view to his appointment
to the Indian Veterinary Service.
4. Treatment of disease.—The number of reported outbreaks
of contagious diseases during the year was considerably greater
than that in the two previous years, but the increase is not
serious, as it was mainly due to the prevalence of loot and mouth
disease, the mortality from which is always small. The chief
seourge is rinderpest, from, which 22,365 deaths occurred out of
54,617 reported as attacked. One virulent outbreak occurred in
Patna, as a result of which a large number of cattle in and around
the capital died. The other serious source of mortality is
hemorrhagic septicemia, from which 7,414 deaths occurred out
of 10,092 cattle affected. The only effective form of protection
against these two diseases at present known is inoculation and
vaccination. This does not cure, but it prevents most healthy
cattle from catching these diseases, while among the few which
are subsequently attacked, the mortality is very low. Thus out
of 113,190 cattle inoculated against rinderpest only 573 died, a
death rate of .5 per cent. As cattle are only inoculated in those
areas where an epidemic is in progress, a comparison of these
figures with the proportion of deaths to cattle attacked given
above shows how effective this method is. Similarly out of 42,729
cattle inoculated against hæmorrhagic septicæmia only 38 died.
It is thus obvious that the wholesale inoculation of cattle in effec-
ted areas must, as indeed it does, rapidly bring an outbreak to a
close. Government take this opportunity of bringing these
figures to the notice of the public in order to dispose of the
criticisms which are frequently levelled against the Veterinary
