ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT
OF THE CIVIL VETERINARY
DEPARTMENT, SIND, FOR
THE YEAR 1943-44.
KARACHI:
PRINTED AT THE GOVERNMENT PRESS
1947
Below Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, for the year 1943-44.
No. 8712/G.-IV-3 of 1944-45.
OFFICE OF THE
DIRECTOR OF VETERINARY SERVICES, SIND.
Karachi, dated 14th October 1944.
Forwarded with compliments to the Secretary to the Government of Sind,
General Department, Karachi.
2. Mr. Bachan Singh, M.R.C.V.S., J.P., held charge of the Department
throughout the year.
3. The mortality from Contagious, Infectious and Parasitic diseases was
4,188 as against 7,377 in the preceding year. The large decrease in the
mortality was in fact due to the absence of Rinderpest in the Province, and
moreover, on the whole, the year remained healthy for Live-Stock as compared
to the previous year.
4. One Itinerating and one stationary Veterinary Dispensaries were
opened during the year, thus bringing the total strength to 37 as against
35 dispensaries working during the last year. The programme initiated by
the department for opening 8 Itinerating Veterinary Dispensaries has been
completed during the year under report. There has been demands from
different Local Boards for opening of more Veterinary Dispensaries, but owing
to dearth of qualified hands, a number of vacancies of Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons remained unfilled and further expansion of the department was
hampered. In these institutions 50,106 cases were treated as compared with
47,499 last year, 6,593 castrations were performed as against 5,517 performed
last year.
5. The Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and Veterinary Field Compounders
during the course of their tours treated 56,294 cases for contagious and
parasitic diseases, 9,259 cases for non-contagious diseases and casterated
4,522 animals in 3,567 villages during the year under report as against 69,454
cases for contagious and parasitic diseases, 7,918 for non-contagious diseases
treated and 3,318 castrations performed in 2,831 villages during the preceding
year. From the above it would appear that there has been an appreciable
increase all round in the activities of the department in spite of large number
of vacancies of Veterinary Assistant Surgeons which remained unfilled.
6. The Department was called upon to participate in different Shows,
War rallies and Exhibitions, etc., but on account of lack of funds for pro-
paganda work it had found itself in a most awkward position but, however,
with greatest difficulty it had managed to organise stalls and acquitted itself
favourably along with other sister departments. Unfortunately for the last
two years my proposal for a sum of Rs. 1,000 essentially required for pro-
paganda was rejected by Government which has been repeated in the next
budget estimates and deserves favourable consideration.
L (IV) 1827—1

7. The final sanction regarding the appointment of Assistant Veterinary
Investigation Officer, for Poultry diseases in Sind on 50 : 50 basis by the
Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, is being awaited.
8. The District Local Board, Upper Sind Frontier, held their Horse and
Pony Show at Jacobabad as usual and Department rendered every possible
help in judging horses and cattle at the Show. Government contributed
Rs. 500 and a silver medal was awarded to the best animal at the Show. The
Karachi Race and Riding Club, Limited, through their generosity also con-
tributed Rs. 500 in cash.
9. The total expenditure of the department during the year was
Rs. 1,90,491 as against Rs. 1,83,262.
BACHAN SINGH,

The Veterinary Laboratory continued to produce Goat Virus efficiently and
supplied the same to the District Veterinary Staff promptly wherever and
whenever required.
3. Mr. H. S. Bawa, M.R.C.V.S., continued to hold the post of Veterinary

ment was made for this short period. Mr. Bawa was on tour in Sind for

spent on tour and 7,072 miles by rail and 937 miles by road during the previous
year 1942-43. The problems he investigated are enumerated in detail in his
annual report submitted to the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research,
and a brief summary is given elsewhere in this report.

one had left the college on Medical grounds and one new scholar was sent
to the College and altogether there were five Sindhi scholars studying at the
Bombay Veterinary College at the end of the year.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
5. (i) Examination of specimens—Diagnosis of diseases.—This item of
work forms the chief activities of the Veterinary Laboratory. During the year
under report, 1,118 interesting specimens, blood smears, pus, nasal washings,

in 547 specimens. Last year the specimens examined were 788 with 460 as
positive.
(ii) Table I.—Outbreaks of contagious, infectious and parasitic diseases
were reported from all the districts and the total mortality reported during
the year under report was 4,188 against 7,377 in the preceding year.
(i)
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES IN EQUINES.
6. Glanders.—One case was detected at Tando Adam, District Nawab-
shah in Sind Police Rifles animals. The horse was destroyed and carcase
disposed off in accordance with the Rules.
7. Surra.—This disease was reported from all the districts throughout
the Province. There were 184 attacks and 82 deaths. The remaining
animals received treatment with Antrypol and reported to have recovered.
During the last year there were 204 attacks and 34 deaths.
8. Other contagious diseases.—-There were 7 attacks and 6 deaths from
Rabies, 22 attacks and 1 death from Piroplasmosis, 122 attacks and 4 deaths
from Strangles and 4 attacks without mortality from Filariasis during the year
under report as compared with 11 attacks and 7 deaths from Rabies, 17 attacks
and 5 deaths from Piroplasmosis, 32 attacks and 3 deaths from Strangles and
no attacks and deaths from Filariasis in the preceding year.
4
(ii) CONTAGIOUS DISEASES IN BOVINES.
(a) Cattle.
9. Hæmorrhagic
Septicæmia.—There
were in all 245 attacks and
222 deaths reported from all the districts of Sind as against 242 seizures and
227 deaths during the previous year.
10. Foot-and-Mouth disease.—This disease was reported from all the
districts in Sind with 3,551 attacks and 33 deaths as against 3,394 attacks
and 55 deaths during the last year.
11. Black Quarter.—Only one outbreak was reported in Sukkur district
and all the four cattle attacked were reported to have succumbed to the disease.
During the previous year there was only one attack and one death.
12. Anthrax.—This
disease was responsible for causing 5 deaths in
Karachi and Larkana districts as against 26 deaths reported during the year
preceding.
13. Rabies.—There were 4 attacks and 4 deaths from Rabies as against
5 attacks and 5 deaths during the last year.
14. Other Contagious, Infectious and Parasitic diseases.—Two attacks
and 2 deaths were reported from Piroplasmosis, 23 attacks and one death
from Parasitic bronchitis, 30 attacks and 25 deaths from White scour and
12 attacks without mortality from Ring worm. None of these diseases
occurred last year. Liver Fluke Disease was reported from all the districts
and was responsible for a mortality of 177 cattle out of 7,232 attacked as
against 430 deaths and 10,501 attacks reported during the preceding year.
A systematic line of treatment by means of Carbon Tetrachloride Drug has
considerably reduced the mortality from year to year as could be judged from
the progress made by the Department in this direction.
(b) Buffaloes.
15. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—In all, 565 attacks and 540 deaths were
reported from all the districts of Sind as against 807 seizures and 774 deaths
last year.
16. Foot-and-Mouth disease.—There were 671 attacks with 8 deaths as
against 947 seizures and 33 deaths reported from all the districts of Sind last
year
17. Black Quarter.—In one outbreak 4 attacks and 4 deaths took place
in Sukkur district, whereas last year no outbreak of this disease was recorded.
18. Anthrax.—There
were 13 attacks and 12 deaths during the year
under report as against 3 attacks and 3 deaths last year.
19. Other Contagious, Infectious and Parasitic diseases.—Liver Fluke
disease was responsible for 10,032 attacks and 349 deaths in buffaloes as
compared with 12,974 seizures and 603 deaths in the preceding year. There
were 7 attacks without mortality from Piroplasmosis-Bronchitis against nil
last year. It will appear that the Liver Fluke disease is on its steady decrease
from year to year as maldars having realised the efficacy of treatment with
the drug Carbon Tetrachloride for which there is overwhelming demand
throughout the Province.
5
(iii)

PREVWNTIVE INOCULATIONS.
35. The Veterinary Laboratory continued to manufacture Goat Tissue
Virus and supplied the same to the District Veterinary Staff in carrying out
the vaccinations against Rinderpest on prophylactic and preventive scale with
a view to control the incidence of the disease which plays a great havoc in
cattle in view of their higher susceptibility.
36. Table No. II.—Rinderpest.—Notwithstanding
the fact that there was
no incidence of Rinderpest recorded in the Province during the year under
report, 2,859 bovines were vaccinated with goat tissue virus as a prophylactic
measure without any mortality among the vaccinated ones against 4,681
vaccinations performed in actual outbreaks of the disease in 35 outbreaks
during the last year.
37. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—With
the exception of only one out-
break in which vaccine and serum method was used in inoculating 185 bovines,
the serum alone method was employed in 50 outbreaks protecting 2,966
bovines with 400 deaths among uninoculated and 7 deaths among inoculated
ones. Last year serum alone method was used in 34 outbreaks and vaccine
