previous year.
2
(v) HOSPITALS AND DISPENSARIES.
11. Table V.—As in the previous year, there were two Veterinary Dis-
pensaries in the province during the year under report. The number of cases
treated was 4,060 as against 3,019 in the previous year. Medicines and advice
were given to the owners of 431 animals not brought to the dispensaries as
against 513 in the previous year. Three equines and seven other animals
were castrated as against 5 equines and 8 other animals in the previous year.
12. Ajmer Veterinary Hospital.—Khan Sahib Abdul Haq held charge
throughout the year. The number of animals treated at this hospital was
3,099 (693 in-patients and 2,406 out-patients) as against 2,040 (775 in-patients
and 1,265 out-patients) treated in the previous year. Medicines and advice

Ajmer-Merwara, with effect from the 1st October 1930.
The number of animals treated at this hospital was 961 (36 in-patients and
925 out-patients) as against 979 (78 in-patients and 901 out-patients) treated
in the previous year. The cause of decrease in the number of animals treated

formed during the year.

Veterinary Department.

needed in the Province and a scheme for the formation of a properly organised
Veterinary Department was under consideration of Government. Up to the
present, on account of financial stringency, the scheme has not been put into
force.

scheme for the formation of a properly organized Veterinary Department
was under the consideration of Government, it could not be brought into
force on account of financial stringency.
