1. I held charge of the department throughout the year. I was on
tour for 199 days during the year visiting departmental institutions in 24

at Delhi and acted as judge. I attended the annual horse fairs and shows
at Aligarh and Bulandshahr and organized, judged and awarded prizes at
10 one-day horse shows in the districts of Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Meerut
and Muzaffarnagar. I visited the Stallion Depot at Moradabad and the
Sheep Farm at Bodhpura, district Jalaun, and gave instructions to the staff
with regard to carrying out essential improvements. I also served on

Mortality. Table I.
4. Epidemics among live-stock were less severe during the year,
The reported mortality from contagious diseases
was 19,254 as against 23,764 in the past year.
5. Deaths from other causes were 4,660 as against 4,976 in the pre-
ceding year.
(a) Equines
Table I.
6. The death roll under this head was 378 as against 380 in the pre-
vious year.
Glanders-
Only one case of glanders proved positive to the mallein test in the
Muttra District, the animal was destroyed under the
Glanders and Farcy Act.
Surra (equines and
camels).
Climatic factors unfavourable to the vectors which spread this disease
reduced appreciably the incidence of this disease
in the Province. One hundred and thirty-eight
cases were, however, treated at the different
centres as against 220 last year.
Anthrax.
The reported mortality under this head was nil.
Other
contagious
and parasitic diseases.
Ninety-eight deaths were reported under this head as against 40 in the
preceding year.
Other causes-
Two hundred and sixty-four deaths were reported under this head as

sive trials in actual outbreaks to control epidemics with encouraging
results. The duration of immunity was tested and found solid up to 22
months following vaccination by this method.

With a view to facilitate the transport of vaccine and prolong its
keeping qualities an experiment with Desiccated Spleen Tissue in powder
form was carried out in a controlled experiment at the Sheep Farm, Oral.
The results so far obtained are encouraging and the work is being conti-
nued.
Sodium Thiosulphate by the intravenous route was used in the treat-
ment of Reonja poisoning in sheep with encouraging results.
A survey on the incidence of helminth parasites in goats revealed the
