Produce Statistics.

coverings of the year under report with those of the
previous two years:—

The percentage of produce foaled shows considerable improvement with the
corresponding decrease under 'results unknown.' The percentage of mares
'not held' has remained almost stationary and is still very high. In Gujarát,
where only one case is reported this year as coming under 'unknown' against 13
last year and 120 in the year before that, the percentage of produce foaled goes
as high as 60 per cent. In the Deccan it is 34; but in Sind and Cutch it
reaches only 17.4 per cent. Results of 30 per cent. coverings in Sind and of 16
per cent. in the Deccan are unknown. Produce statistics of one horse stallion
in Sind were not received by the Superintendent in time, and all the coverings
had of course to be shown under 'unknown'. Still the percentage of unknown
is very high in Sind, and, considering that district officers place little reliance
on the statistics collected, it seems that unless some special agency, as in the
Presidency proper, is engaged in Sind, there is little chance of any improve-
ment being seen in the Sind returns.
The average produce foaled per stallion shows marked improvement, the
number having risen from 7.58 in 1893-94 and 8.69 in 1894-95 to 11.03 in the
year under report.
The working of the principal classes is shown below:—

It will be seen that the improvement is general and particularly so in the
Norfolk Trotter and the Arab pony. The English stallion has recorded the
largest number of coverings, but has given the smallest percentage of foals. It
may, however, be remarked that the produce of the thorough-bred English has
proved to be the best prize-winner. The Arab pony, which comes last but
one in the number of coverings, records the highest percentage of foals. The
results of the coverings of the one country-bred horse kept in the Deccan are
satisfactory. Of the 22 mares covered by him during 8 months' working, 14
foaled, 7 did not hold, and the result of one is unknown. The country-bred pony
covered 13 mares in 3 months, of which only 2 cases were successful. It is yet
too early to judge of the country-bred stallions, as the above result is of their first
52
where no regular Veterinary staff has been entertained by the District Boards,
but this could not always be complied with owing to paucity of graduates avail-
able for such off and on duties. Cases having again been brought to light in
which the Superintendent did not receive reports received by this office, district
officers have recently been requested to arrange for their being regularly sent
to that officer.
Veterinary Dispensaries.
17. There were 12 stationary and 4 itinerating dispensaries at work at
the end of the year. One dispensary at Dhárwár
was newly opened and that at Poona, which existed
before as a College of Science institution, was handed over to the Dispensary
Committee and brought under the general scheme. The itinerating dispensary
at Belgaum was temporarily closed for want of a suitable graduate to take
charge of the work. The total number of animals treated at the various
dispensaries rose from 13,936 in the previous year to 17,554 during the year
under report. Of these, 75.4 per cent. were cured, 7.5 per cent. relieved, 3.2 per
cent. died, 1.3 per cent. returned incurable, in 10.9 per cent. cases results were
unknown and the rest were under treatment at the end of the year. The percent-
age of unknown results is large, but, as explained by the Superintendent, it is
probably due to owners removing their animals before they are cured or
relieved. The work of all the Veterinary graduates except the two working in
Shikárpur is reported to be good, the Superintendent especially commending the
work of the Assistants in charge of the Karáchi, Ahmadabad, Hyderabad, Násik
and Surat dispensaries. Suitable buildings have been provided for or are in
course of erection at six places, and it is hoped that the District Boards else-
where will before long take steps to remove their want. Instances have been
brought to notice in which timely intimation of outbreaks of diseases was not
given to the graduates working in the district, and the consequence was that
they could not render the necessary assistance in their suppression. Steps are
being taken to remedy this defect and it is hoped that in future the services of
the graduates will be more fully availed of. In places Veterinary graduates in
charge of dispensaries could not attend outbreaks of diseases in the district
without closing their charge. This causes serious inconvenience and the District
Boards will, it is hoped, entertain itinerating assistants wherever funds permit.
Northern Horse.
18. The Superintendent's remarks regarding the Northern Horse are both
interesting and instructive, and they may be com-
mended for the consideration of the officers concerned.
The Government of India have apparently acquiesced in the decision of the
Bombay Government to allow dealers to compete at Sind shows.
19. The undersigned is again constrained to observe that the Superintend-
ent's remarks are too brief to explain variations of figures and show little
improvement over last year's report in this respect.

DEPARTMENT FOR THE OFFICIAL YEAR 1896-97.
PART I.—IMPERIAL REPORT.

In the beginning of the year under report, the

"Triumphi," 5 years.
3. The two marginally noted thorough-breds were received from England.
They are powerful, compact horses on short legs with
good bone and substance and typical stallions for this
Presidency. They were landed in excellent order,
quickly recovered the effects of the voyage, and were fit to put to work within
four months of their arrival. Two Arab horses and one pony were purchased by
me for Government. One of these horses, I am pleased to be able to report, is the
celebrated horse "Venture." He is without doubt one of the very best Arabs
ever imported to this country, with great bone, quality, substance and an un-
doubted performer. The two following Arabs were also purchased by me in the
Bombay market:—
1 for the Dhrángadhra State.
1 for the Rájkot State.
The thorough-bred English stallion "Scheldt" was sold to His Highness the
Ráv of Cutch, but as the sale was not completed before the end of March
1897, he is still shown on the registers. There was a considerable falling off in
the Arab market this year, and few horses fit for stallions were imported.
Number removed from re-
gisters.
4. Eight stallions were removed from the registers during the year. A
reference to Tables II and III will show that 3 horse
and 2 pony stallions were destroyed, as they were in-
capacitated by age for stud purposes; one pony stal-
4
lion was cast and sold, being affected by chronic disease of generative organs;
one horse stallion "Lord Napier—Arab" was sold to His Highness the Ráv of
Cutch for stud purposes, and one was returned to Bengal, being unsuitable for
this Presidency. The general percentage of casualties was 6.25 for horses and
9.52 for ponies against 8 and 5.55 respectively last year. No horse or pony
stallion died during the year.
Number present at close of
year.
5. The following table shows the number of
each class of stallions present at the close of the year
under report:—

6. This gives a total of 66 against 69 of last year, the decrease being one
in horses and two in ponies. The distribution of stallions in the horse-breeding
provinces is given in the following table and compared with the figures of last
two years:—

7. Out of the 66 stallions present at the close of the year, 59.52 were
actually at stud work and the remainder were in the
Ahmednagar Depôt for acclimatization or treatment.
8. The attached sketch map of the Bombay Presidency will show the
number of horse, pony and donkey stallions present at each stand on the 31st
March 1897.
9. Table IV shows the services and produce of Government horse and
pony stallions.
Number of mares covered.
10. The total number of mares covered by Government horse and pony
stallions during the year was 1,919 against 1,894 last
year. Out of the above number, 83 coverings were
effected under the new certification system, viz., 36 in the Deccan and 47 in
Gujarát. There is a very slight increase in the number of mares covered, but
the average per stallion has fallen from 33.59 last year to 32.24 this year. I
attribute this entirely to the great scarcity which has prevailed and the diffi-
culty owners have experienced in procuring forage, if the mares had to be
brought any distance, and rather than incur this expense, a large number have
been allowed to remain barren this season.
Demand for stallions.
11. Horse-breeding makes satisfactory progress in the Deccan, Sind and
Cutch, and a considerable rise in the number of mares
covered in Gujarát has taken place this year. It is
to be regretted that the services of the stallions in Lower Sind were not more
fully utilized. The system is new to the country and I trust that the present
arrangement, whereby the horses are stationed at the houses of the most influen-
tial Zamindárs, will have better results. Judging from the last two months,
the coverings under the above scheme are most encouraging and hold out every
prospect of success in the future.
