REVIEW BY THE DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE.
Below letter No. 2902, dated 30th June 1913, from the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Bombay Presidency, Poona, to the Under
Secretary to Government, Revenue Department, Bombay.
No. A.-6712.
Poona, 22nd July 1913.
Forwarded with compliments.
2. The season was favourable to the health of stock which probably
accounts for the decrease in the number of inoculations for rinderpest and of
outbreaks of disease visited by Veterinary Assistants. It is suggested that in
future reports the number of outbreaks of contagious diseases reported should
be noted.
3. There were three new dispensaries opened during the year. Progress
in this respect is slow and the Presidency is far behind some other Provinces.
For instance Burma has 120 Veterinary Assistants and 11 Inspectors as
against 54 Veterinary Assistants and 3 Inspectors in this Presidency. Conse-
quently in Burma it has been possible to legislate for the repression of
outbreaks of contagious diseases amongst cattle. Such legislation cannot be
introduced in this Presidency until the number of dispensaries and Veterinary
Assistants has increased considerably. Legislation on the lines of that
introduced into Burma is very desirable in the interests of the preservation
of plough and milch cattle. A reform in the procedure to be adopted in
receiving and dealing with applications for new dispensaries has been effected
in the course of the year, which will prevent a great deal of unnecessary delay.
Also the system sanctioned for the allotment of annual contributions from
Government towards the maintenance of dispensaries has facilitated the disposal
of such questions and put an end to unnecessary references (vide Government
Resolution No. 11741, dated 27th December 1912, Revenue Department).
4 The figures as to the number of animals treated by Veterinary
Assistants and the number of dispensaries treating more than the minimum of
2,000 animals show a steady improvement.
5. The Deputy Superintendent worked throughout the year except for
one month. It is suggested that future reports should show more clearly
whether the object with which the appointment was sanctioned has been
realised, viz., to organise and supervise a campaign of preventive inoculation and
to undertake measures for the control of contagious diseases.
6. Before the close of the year under report rules for the working of the
Civil Veterinary Department and for the inspection of veterinary dispensaries
received the sanction of Government.
7. Steady progress has been maintained in the Department under Lieut.-
Colonel Maxwell's guidance and it is satisfactory to note that such a larger
number of officers subordinate to him have done good work.

Acting Director of Agriculture.

No. 505-G.-IV-3 OF 1913.
From
J. G. CATTELL, ESQUIRE, I.C.V.D.,
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistán and Rájputána ;
To
THE UNDER SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department,
Bombay.
Karáchi, dated 28th June 1913.
(Through the Commissioner in Sind, Karáchi.)
Sir,
I have the honour to submit, for the information of His Excellency the
Governor in Council, the Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department in Sind, for the official year 1912-13.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
J. G. CATTELL, I. C. V. D.,
Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistán and Rájputána.
43
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE CIVIL
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT IN SIND,
FOR THE YEAR 1912-1913.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
Mr. J. G. Cattell held charge of the office of the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Sind, Baluchistán and Rájputána, throughout the year.
Mr. Cattell was on tour in Sind for 124 days and travelled 4,046 miles by
rail and 895 miles by road*. He made an extensive tour with tents in the Thar
and Párkar, Hyderabad, Nawábsháh and Lárkána Districts, inspected all the
dispensaries in the province once or more than once; and where necessary
selected sites for others. He, when possible, personally attended outbreaks of
contagious disease and checked inoculation work.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.—VETERINARY COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS.
Two students were selected for training at the Bombay Veterinary College
and awarded scholarships by the Commissioner in Sind under Government
Resolution No. 1174, dated the 6th July 1910, but neither of them joined the
College. Two scholarships were sanctioned for two students already studying
at the College—thus making a total of four stipendiary students at the end of
the year.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE. CONTAGIOUS DISEASE, OUTBREAKS, MORTALITY,
PREVENTIVE INOCULATION, ETC.
Outbreaks of contagious disease were reported from all the districts in
Sind. One hundred and six deaths were reported in equines, 1,959 in bovines
and 412 among other animals as compared with 54, 11,638 and 1,963 deaths
respectively last year.
EQUINES.
Glanders.—One case was diagnosed by the Veterinary Graduate, Karachi,
and after being certified by a Veterinary Practitioner was destroyed under the
Glanders and Farcy Act. Rs. 800 were paid during the year as compensation
to owners of 16 animals which were destroyed as having re-acted in the Karáchi
outbreak of 1911-12.
Surra.—One hundred and two deaths were reported from this disease,—
75 in Karáchi, 21 in Hyderabad, 3 in Lárkána, 2 in Nawábsháh and 1 in
Sukkur District, against 20 deaths reported last year,—19 in Karáchi and 1 in
Hyderabad.
Barsattee.—This disease was very prevalent in Karáchi during the year.
Other diseases.—Three deaths have been reported from other contagious
diseases during the year in the Karachi District against 4 deaths reported
last year.
BOVINES.
Rinderpest.—The disease broke out in 4 districts and 1,367 deaths occurred
out of 2,391 attacked, during the year under report, against 527 deaths reported
last year. The district of Lárkána was most affected by the disease in this as
in the previous year.
* The Superintendent was on tonr in his circle for 198 days and travelled G,89S miles by
rail and 1,312 miles by road.
