Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána;
To
THE DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE,
Bombay (Poona).
(Through the Commissioner in Sind, Karáchi.)
SIR,
I have the honour to forward the Annual Administration Report of the
Civil Veterinary Department in Sind for the official year 1906-1907.
2. The necessary tables are enclosed herewith.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
K. HEWLETT, I.C.V.D.,
In charge Office of Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána.

SIND.
ANNUAL ADMNISTRATION REPORT OF THE CIVIL VETERINARY
DEPARTMENT IN SIND FOR THE YEAR 1906-1907.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
During the year under report Mr. K. Hewlett held charge of the office
of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind, Baluchistan and
Rájputána, Captain Dawson being absent on leave, in addition to his own duties
as Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Bombay Presidency.
2. The Superintendent was unable to undertake a detailed tour in Sind
this year on account of his time being very fully occupied in the Presidency
Proper and other parts of his charge. He attended the Horse and Cattle Show
at Talhar, Hyderabad District. He travelled 2,089 miles by rail as against 3,09-1
miles by rail and 387 by road last year.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION—VETERINARY COLLEGES OR SCHOOLS.
3. There are no Veterinary Colleges or Schools in the Province and there
is no information to be recorded under this head.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE—CONTAGIOUS DISEASES, OUTBREAKS,
MORTALITY, PREVENTIVE INOCULATION, & C.
4. Reports of outbreaks of contagious diseases have been received from four
districts. It may be seen from Table II that the total number of deaths report-
ed was 59 equines and 16 bovines and 67 others.
Glanders-Farcy.—There were two cases reported from Karachi. They
were destroyed under the Glanders and Farcy Act.
Surra,—There were 57 cases reported from Sukkur among equines.
Epizootic Lymphangitis.—There were no cases of this disease.
Anthrax.—There were no cases of this disease reported.
Black Quarter.—There were no cases of this disease reported.
Sæmorrhagic Septicæmia was not reported this year.
Foot and Mouth Disease was reported from Sukkur District. There were
260 attacks and 3 deaths.
Rinderpest was not reported.
5. Preventive Inoculation.—As no cases of Rinderpest, Anthrax, Black
Quarter or Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia were reported during the year, no inocula-
tions against these diseases were performed.
(2) Other Diseases.
6. There were 13 cases of other contagious diseases reported. Besides
these the Veterinary Assistants treated 1,956 cases while on tour, of which 489
were contagious diseases and 1,452 non-contagious, as compared with a total of
1,545 last year. The total number of cases treated as in- and out-patients by
Veterinary Assistants at their head-quarters is 10,927 as compared with 9,570 in
the preceding year. This gives a total of 12,883 cases treated by Veterinary
Assistants throughout the Province, as against 11,115 last year. The increase
of 1,768 is small and should be improved upon next year.
60
The Comptroller, India Treasuries, when furnishing the information,
remarks that as no separate accounts of these Provinces are kept in his office,
separate statements showing the charges in each Province cannot be furnished,
and hence the statement is headed to show expenditure in the Provinces of Sind,
Baluchistan and Rájputána.
The information supplied by the Accountant General does not appear to be
correct as it seems that expenses incurred on behalf of the Army Remount
Department, such as prizes at Horse Shows, &c., have been included in the state-
ment, and on pointing out the fact to him he says there is nothing in the vouchers
furnished to his office to show that the figures include expenses on account of the
Army Remount Department.
19. On comparing the accounts shown in column 2 with the registers of
this office it is found that these expenses were incurred by the Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department, Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána, at Karáchi and
relate only to the Province of Sind with the exception of Rs. 500 awarded as
prizes at the Cattle Fair held at Sibi (Baluchistan), and thus Rs. 8,340-4-9 were
expended from Imperial and Rs. 28,593-6-1 from Local Funds as against
Rs. 4,571-4-11 and Rs. 19,044, respectively, last year. The increase in the
Imperial figures is due to the fact that last year the office of the Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department, was located at Ajmer from April to December
1905 and therefore the expenses incurred there were shown in the Annual
Report of Rájputána. The sum of Rs. 302-12-0 on account of the Travelling
Allowance of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, as shown in
column 3 has been wrongly shown under " Provincial" instead of " Imperial,"
to which it is actually debitable.
VI.—GENERAL REMARKS.
20. The Superintendent considers that on the whole the Veterinary
Dispensaries in Sind appear to have done fairly good work during the year under
report, but in his opinion old established institutions like the dispensaries at
Hyderabad, Nausháhro and Shikárpur could, with the display of more zeal on
the part of the Veterinary Graduates in charge, do a great deal more.
21. The scheme for reorganisation of the Subordinate Civil Veterinary
Department was sanctioned in Government Resolution, Revenue Department,
No. 1615, dated 14th February 1907, but was not brought into force during the
year under report.
K. HEWLETT, I.C.V.D.,
In charge Office of Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána.
