Annual Report of the Civil Veterinary Department, United
Provinces, for the year 1939-40
CHAPTER I
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
1. I held charge of the department throughout the year
and
was on tour for 208 days, inspecting 69 veterinary hospitals and dis-
pensaries and 14 stallion stands in 27 districts. I attended the 19th
meeting of the Advisory Board of the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research in May, 1939, at Simla, and the 20th meeting held at New-
Delhi in November and December, 1939. At Simla in August, 1939,
I discussed with the Director of Remounts, Army Headquarters,
problems connected with the transfer to the department of horse-
breeding operations in certain selected districts of the province, viz.
Meerut, Muzaffarnagar, Bulandshahr and Aligarh. I visited Poona
and Bombay in October and December, 1939, respectively to pur-
chase stallions for the improvement of the horse-breeding industry
in the province, and organized one-day horse shows in Allahabad,
Bareilly, Hardoi, Saharanpur, Shahjahanpur and Rae Bareli districts,
where I judged and awarded prizes to the progeny of Government
stallions and brood mares.
With a view to improve the sheep and goat industry in the province
I made a survey of the sheep areas in Chakrata Tahsil, district Dehra
Dun, visited Bodhpura Sheep Farm in Jalaun district and the Goat
Mission Farm, Etah, where necessary instructions were issued with
regard to the care and rearing of animals and their progeny. In this
connexion I also attended the Goat Show organized by the department
at Chakarnagar, district Etawah, and awarded prizes to the owners
of the best Jumnapari goats collected at the show.
I visited an inoculation camp veterinary hospital in the Allahabad
District, held a Cattle Show at Babuganj, district Partabgarh, and
attended the All-India Cattle Show at New Delhi, in February, 1940,
and acted as judge. During the same month I attended the Poultry
and Goat Show at the Mission Poultry Farm, Etah, and made frequent
visits to the Stallion Depot at Moradabad whenever necessary. In
March, 1940, I proceeded to Calcutta to join the Board of Examiners
of the Bengal Veterinary College.

1939, to 14th January, 1940, and Mr. Ram Swarup, Veterinary
Inspector, officiated as Superintendent during the period he was on
leave.
3. Mr. P. G. Pandey, M.Sc., M.R.C.V.S., held charge of the office of
the Veterinary Investigation Officer, United Provinces, for the entire
period of the year under report, he remained on tour for 179 days and
visited 32 villages in 15 districts in connexion with the investigation
into and the treatment of animal diseases. During the period under
review he devoted special attention to perfecting the scarification
method of vaccinating cattle and buffaloes against rinderpest, diag-
nosis of Johne's disease and tuberculosis, investigation into "Bisi"
in domesticated ruminants, surra in bovines and equines, sheep and
goat diseases, Ranikhet disease in fowls, and fodder poisoning in cattle.
A separate annual report submitted by this officer to the Imperial
Council of Agricultural Research deals in detail with the work done
during the year under report.
CHAPTER II
TREATMENT OF DISEASES
Contagious diseases
Mortality. Table I.
4. Epidemics among live-stock were less severe during the
year under report than last year. The re-
ported mortality from contagious diseases was
42,349 as against 44,992 in the preceding year.
Haemorrhagic
septicaemia, blackquarter and anthrax were responsible for the
decrease.
5. Deaths from other causes numbered 4,650 as compared with
4,855 in the previous year.
(a) Equines
Table I.
6. The death-roll under this head was 413 as against 445 in the
previous year.
( 3 )
Glanders.
One case of death from glanders occurred during the year in Cawn-
pore city and two cases were suspected in
Bareilly and Naini Tal districts, these, however,
proved negative to mallein test and were released.
Surra (equines and
camels).
Experiments on the prophylaxis of surra were continued during the
year but due to scanty rainfall and consequent
lack of vectors which limited the spread of the
disease this work was not concluded. Details of
the work done are as follows :—
