REVIEW BY THE DIRECTOR OP AGRICULTURE.
Below letter No. 1539, dated 23rd June 1910, from the Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, to the Under Secretary to Government, Revenue
Department, Bombay.
No. A-5368 op 1910.
Poona, 4th August 1910.
Forwarded with compliments.
2. Undersigned has recently expressed his views in detail regarding the
various branches of work now being undertaken by the Civil Veterinary
Department and does not propose to repeat them.
3. The re-organization of the Civil Veterinary Department has been
carried out during the past year and has thrown much additional work on the
Superintendent.
4. There is now a Veterinary Inspector for each division, and valuable results
may be looked for from this source. It is hoped that in addition to performing
their duties of inspecting the Dispensaries they will be able to organise operations
for checking contagious diseases, and may establish a closer relation between
the dispensary and the people of the tract in which it is situated.

Director of Agriculture.

No. 185—54.
Karáchi, 25th June 1910
From
MAJOR A. S. TRYDELL, I. C. V. D.,
Superintendent, Indian Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputana;
To
THE UNDER SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
Revenue Department, Bombay.
(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 Report of the Indian Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment, in Sind, for the official year 1909-1910.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
2. I held charge of the office of Superintendent, Indian Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána, throughout the year under report.
3. Owing to a demand for ray services in Baluchistan and for want of
sufficient funds I was unable to undertake any tours under canvas in the
Province of Sind but I inspected the Veterinary Dispensaries in the Province
except the one at Nausháhro Feroz and attended the cattle fairs and shows at
Badin (Hyderabad District) and Shikárpur (Sukkur District). I travelled
2,701 miles by rail and 20 miles by road against 4,902 miles by rail and 508
miles by road travelled last year.
L—VETERINAEY INSTRUCTION—VETERINABY COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS.
4. There are no Colleges or Schools in the Province and therefore there
is nothing to record under the heading. However it has been resolved, vide
Government Resolution, Educational Department, No. 1506, dated 26th
July 1909, that 2 students should every year in future be sent from this Province
to obtain veterinary education at the Bombay Veterinary College and allowed
Government scholarships.
II.—TREATMENT OP DISEASE.
(1) Contagious disease, outbreaks, mortality, preventive inoculation, &c.
5. Contagious diseases have been reported to have broken out in 4 districts
as against 3 districts last year and the number of deaths resulted therefrom
has been shown in Table II. They were 14 amongst equines, 986 amongst
bovines, and 204 amongst other animals against 4 amongst equines, 1,753 bovines
and 173 other animals reported last year.
Equines.
Surra.—As shown in Table II, 12 deaths have occurred in Karáchi and 1 in
Jacobabad District against 1 in Karáchi and 1 in Hyderabad reported last year.
This disease may now be recorded as being known at various points in this
circle in horses or camels or both from Fort Sandeman to the coast of Sind,
and in Rájputána. In a report on camels in Baluchistan (a copy of which was
submitted to the Commissioner in Sind) will be found a list of several species
of biting flies some or other of which have been found in greater or less numbers
(throughout those parts of my circle which I have toured and) practically from
sea level to an altitude of over 8,000 feet. *
Piroplasmosis.—One case of this disease was identified at the Karachi
Veterinary Hospital in a mule.
* N.B.—Surra has been met with in the following districts :—
Zhob, Sibi, Jacobabad, Lárkána, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Karáchi and Merwara.

Five horses were castrated at this dispensary, the same number as last
year.
Shikárpur
Veterinary Hospital
and Dispensary.—Veterinary
Graduate
L. K. Vedh held charge of the Veterinary Dispensary throughout the year.
The total number of cases treated at the hospital is as shown in Table V,
2,064 and those treated in the district while on tour, vide Table IV, 600, making-
a total of 2,664 against a total of 2,378 last year. The number treated on tour
includes animals inoculated for rinderpest and black quarter which numbered
170. Of the total of 2,064 treated at the hospital, 874 were equines, 801
bovines and 389 other animals against 871, 775 and 422, respectively, treated
last year.
The Veterinary Graduate while on tour visited 54 villages and assisted at
the Shikárpur Cattle Show.
Table VI shows the financial condition of the hospital. The receipts were
Rs. 13,912-9-5 and expenditure Rs. 4,121-4-5, which leaves a balance of
Rs. 9,791-5-0 at the close of the year.
The cattle population within a radius of 5 miles of this dispensary is said
to be 6,000 and the cattle treated at the dispensary 801, which gives a
percentage of 13.35 against 12.91 last year.
No fees are charged except for animals treated under the Cruelty to
Animals Act.
Jacobabad Veterinary Hospital and Dispensary.—Veterinary
Graduate
D. T. Wadhwani held charge of the dispensary throughout the year under
report.
The number of animals treated at the dispensary, vide Table V, was 978
against 752 treated last year. Of the total number of cases, 978 treated during
the year 1909-1910, 527 were equines, 180 bovines and 271 others. Three
castrations were performed at the dispensary against 7 performed last year.
The dispensary was located in the same building as last year from the
1st of April to the 6th of November 1909, after which, date it was removed
to new quarters in the town and is now a hospital as well as a dispensary.
Table VI shows the financial condition of the institution. The receipts
were Rs. 2,638-0-3 and expenditure Rs. 1,770-10-11, which leaves a balance of
Rs. 867-5-4 at the close of the year.
The cattle population within a radius of 5 miles of this dispensary is
reported to be 5,772 against 3,936 reported last year, and the cattle treated at
the dispensary is 180. This gives a percentage of 3.11 against 3.17 last year.
No fees are charged.
III.—BREEDING OPERATIONS.
9. There is nothing to be recorded under the heads (1), (2) and (3) as
there are no bovine breeding operations carried on in the Province and the
control of equine stock breeding rests with the Army Remount Department.
(4) Fairs and Shows.
Cattle Fairs.
10. Vide Table XIV, cattle shows were held at Shikárpur (district
Sukkur) and Talhar (district Hyderabad).
Shikárpur.—This show was held in conjunction with the horse show at
Shikárpur on the 26th January 1910 and the following days. The number
of animals that competed for prizes was 136 compared with 337 competed last
year, and Rs. 225 were awarded in prizes out of a sum of Rs. 490 allotted for
the purpose. A separate report on this show has already been submitted, and
it is respectfully requested that a reference may be made to it, and the letter
5S
Silledar Camel Corps, the above report together with a note by this office on
certain matters pertaining to camel breeding was submitted to the Honourable
the Agent to the Governor-General in Baluchistan, and copies were forwarded to
the Quarter-Master General in India, Inspector-General, Indian Civil Veterinary
Department, the Commissioner in Sind and the Collector of Sukkur. As the
subject is too long to include here, a reference is respectfully invited to the
correspondence.
If cattle breeding—or camel—has been discussed at length from time to time
and emphasis given to the subject, it is because the Superintendent of this circle
has but rare opportunities afforded him to obtain the views of either the agri-
cultural officers or those of his own department outside which services few
amongst the official classes in India possess a fondness for any pastoral stock and
fewer know anything about it, though a good number realize they are important
industries. I admit the difficulty in taking up a subject which does not appeal
to the taste. Barely do Europeans give real thought or possess a taste for the
Indian " baile," the camel or sheep. I think one reason for this is he has
seldom had anything to do with horses, cattle, or sheep in his school and college
days, in short he is not a farmer.
17. Cattle shows are got up and held and I have attended many and one,
but except perhaps for 5 or 10 minutes the European district official leaves the
Superintendent too severely alone to see to the judging. Matters are quite
different in a horse show ring. 1 have merely made these latter remarks in
my contention that if shows or other means are to be instituted to improve
stock more real interest—a feeling interest—must be displayed, particularly by
the leading officials and the most powerful men—the zamindárs in the districts.
It does not seem to occur to many how uphill it is to try and work at a subject
which few are in real or honest sympathy with and with a people who are satis-
fied with the cattle they have got. Many a man will discuss a pig-sticker or a
polo pony with evident pleasure but cattle, sheep and camels are a bore.
I wish however it to be understood through all I have said from time to
time on the subject of cattle that although there is a good deal of room
for improvement in them in Sind, I hold no pessimistic views on a possible shortage
or deterioration of the average plough and draught oxen in the Province unless
overtaken by such a misfortune as famine. I look upon the small working
bullock of Sind as a very excellent beast for his size and small weight, whilst
he possesses a splendid constitution, requisite to withstand the hardships he is
called upon to endure. The real milch cattle around Karachi show to the most
casual observer that they possess quality and marked features which characterize
breed.
18. The necessary Tables are enclosed herewith.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
A. S. TRYDELL, I.C.V.D., Major,
Superintendent,
Indian Civil Veterinary Department,
Sind, Baluchistan and Rájputána.
