Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department in Ajmer-Merwara (British
Rajputana), for the year 1924-25.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom, I.V.S. remained in charge of the Civil
Veterinary Department in Ajmer-Merwara throughout the year
under report.
2. He inspected the Veterinary Dispensaries at Ajmer and
Beawar and was on tour in Ajmer-Merwara for 6 days and travelled
1,098 miles by rail and 26 miles by road. While at Ajmer, he
attended an outbreak of Rinderpest at Saradhna and Kesarpura.
I.—Veterinary Instruction.
3. There are no Veterinary Colleges or Schools in the Province
and there is, therefore, nothing to be reported under this head.
II.—Treatment of Disease.
4. Outbreaks of contagious disease were reported from Ajmer Table II.
and Merwara districts and were as under :—
(i) EQUINE CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
5. Rabies.—Two horses were attacked and destroyed.
6. Surra.—The Salutri in charge of Beawar Veterinary Dis-
pensary reports that 2 horses died of Surra in the Merwara
district. They were not confirmed as the Salutri did not report
the cases to any Veterinary Practitioner at the time of occurrence.
(ii) BOVINES CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
7. Rinderpest.—Sixteen outbreaks of the disease were reported;
3,183 head of cattle were affected and 954 died.
8. Foot-and-Mouth Disease.—The disease broke out in the Mer-
wara district and 60 animals were reported to have died.
9. Black Quarter.—In two outbreaks of the disease in Ajmer
district, 20 animals were affected and 18 died.
(iii) CONTAGIOUS DISEASE AMONGST OTHER ANIMALS.
10. Rabies.—Fourteen dogs were attacked and died or were
destroyed
11. Distemper.—Ten animals died of the disease.
2
(iv) PREVENTIVE INOCULATION.
12. In 14 outbreaks of Rinderpest, in the Ajmer District, 1,357
head of cattle were inoculated with Anti-Rinderpest Serum. Four
hundred and forty-seven uninoculated animals and 10 inoculated
animals died in the course of these outbreaks.
(v) OTHER DISEASES.
Table IV.
13. The number of villages visited by the Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon, Ajmer, and the Salutri, Beawar, was 90 against 81 in
the previous year. They treated 278 cases of contagious and 1,489
cases of non-contagious disease during their tours against 1,561
cases treated for contagious and 188 for non-contagious disease in
the previous year.
(vi) VETERINARY HOSPITALS.
Table V
14. As in the previous year, there were two Veterinary hospitals
working in the province during the year under report. The num-
ber of cases treated was 1,652 as against 1,900 in the previous
year. The decrease in the number of cases treated is due to the
fact that the Beawar Hospital was closed for over two months
and the Veterinary Assistant was then replaced by a Salutri with
a view to exercising economy in expenditure.
Medicines and
advice were given to the owners of 403 animals not brought to the
dispensaries.
15. Ajmer Veterinary Hospital.—Khan Sahib Abdul Haq held
charge throughout the year. The number of animals treated at
this hospital was 1,301 (124 in-patients and 1,177 out-patients)
as against a total of 1,366 (141 in-patients and 1,225 out-patients)
treated in the previous year. Of the 1,301 cases treated this year,
383 were equines, 173 bovines and 745 other animals. One equine
and 5 other animals were castrated as against 2 equines and 3
other animals castrated in the previous year.
Khan Sahib Abdul Haq visited 89 villages and treated 228 cases
for contagious and 1,489 for non-contagious diseases against 73
villages visited and 1,561 cases treated for contagious and 175 for
non-contagious diseases in the previous year.
The amount realised in fees for the treatment of animals at
the dispensary was Rs. 649 against Rs. 743 in the previous year.
16. Beawar Veterinary Hospital.—The
post of Veterinary
Assistant was abolished and one of Salutri created instead. The
dispensary was closed from 1st April to the 13th June 1924 when
Salutri Inayat Ahmed, a retired Remount Veterinary Assistant,
was appointed.
Three hundred and fifty-one patients (62 in-
patients and 289 out-patients) were treated at the hospital during
the year against 534 cases (26 in-patients and 508 out-patients)
3
treated in the previous year. Of the 351 cases treated this year,
124 were equines, 176 bovines and 51 other animals. In addition,
7 bovines were castrated during the year.
The Salutri visited only one village and treated 50 animals for
contagious disease against 8 villages visited and 13 cases treated
for non-contagious diseases in the previous year.
III.—Breeding Operations.
17. No breeding operations were carried on in the province by
the Civil Veterinary Department.
FAIRS AND SHOWS.
Table XIII.
18. Horse Show.—The Pushkar Horse Show was, as usual,
held in November. One hundred and five animals competed and
prizes to the value of Rs. 468 were awarded as against 153 animals
and Rs. 470 awarded in prizes in the previous year.
19. Cattle Show.—A Cattle Show was held at Pushkar in con-
junction with the Horse Show. One hundred and six animals com-
peted and a sum of Rs. 183 was awarded in prizes as against 165
animals shown and Rs. 163 awarded in the previous year.
IV.—Subordinate Establishment.
Table VII.
20. There was one Veterinary Assistant Surgeon on 1st April
1924. A Salutri was appointed for Beawar Veterinary Hospital
in June 1924. There were thus one Veterinary Assistant Surgeon
and a Salutri in charge of the dispensaries at Ajmer and Beawar
respectively at the close of the year. Their work has been shown
under the head "Veterinary Hospitals".
V.—Expenditure of the Department.
Table
XIV-A.
21. The expenditure of the Department during the year was
Rs. 4,201 as against Rs. 6,664 in the previous year.
VI.—General Remarks.
22. Beawar Veterinary Dispensary remains as unpopular as
ever and in my opinion there will be no improvement until it is
run on different lines. I have made a proposal for the considera-
tion of the Beawar Municipality, to move the dispensary from
its present out of the way site to another more centrally situated.
An energetic and practical Veterinary Assistant is also needed,
but the question of finance apparently stands in the way of these
proposals being accepted.
23. Rinderpest has been very rife in the Ajmer district during
the year. 3,183 cattle being affected with the disease. In this con-
nection, Khan Sahib Abdul Haq did good work in inoculating 1,357
4
head of cattle with Anti-Rinderpest Serum with successful results,
When the disease first broke out, cattle-owners were chary of
having their cattle inoculated but were persuaded by Khan Sahib
Abdul Haq with the help of the local officials. The disease was
probably brought into Ajmer-Merwara from the neighbouring
Indian States where the disease has been very prevalent during
the year.
