23. Contagious diseases amongst other animals.—These include
such diseases as rabies and distemper in canines and fowl cholera, etc.
The loss under this head was 599 as against 112 in the previous year.
Table III—Preventive Inoculation.
24. Table III gives details of the number of inoculations performed
during the year.
25. There were altogether 522 outbreaks in which inoculation was
undertaken and the total number of cattle inoculated was 113,847 as
against 1,152 outbreaks and 206,616 animals inoculated during the pre-
vious year. Details of inoculation are given below : —

26. In addition to the above figures 2,085 animals were inoculated
in Calcutta and its suburbs by the Staff of the Bengal Veterinary
College.
27. Inoculation against rinderpest was carried out on a very large
scale, but there has been a considerable decrease in the number due
chiefly to less prevalence of outbreaks of virulent type in this year.
28. Enquiries made in the localities where animals were treated
with protective sera show that results were highly satisfactory. When-
ever possible this method of checking the disease is now adopted and
very little opposition is encountered in the advanced parts of this Presi-
dency. In some of the outlying tracts however there is still much
apathy and prejudice and Veterinary Assistant Surgeons have to experi-
ence very great difficulty in getting this system of treatment adopted.
29. The death-rate amongst inoculated cattle was negligible, being
489 in all, or 0-4 per cent. for the whole Province.
30. A sum of Rs. 37,100-9 was paid to the Director of the Imperial
Institute of Veterinary Research, Mukhtesar, on account of the cost
of sera and vaccines supplied to the Province during the year.
Table IV.
31. Table IV shows the work done by the Itinerant Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons both at headquarters and in the mufassal.
32. As in the previous year, 99 men were at work in the mufassal,
of whom 72 were purely Itinerant and 27 Stationary and Itinerant, who
toured in the interior either at fixed periods or at the time of out-
breaks. Besides doing the inoculation work referred to in paragraph
25 of this report, these officers visited 16,846 villages and treated
9
169,385 patients during the year, the corresponding figures for the two
previous years being 16,514 villages and 126,661 animals and 15,429
villages and 100,830 animals, respectively. These figures speak for
themselves and no comment is necessary.
33. The number of cases brought to the headquarters of the Itiner-
ant Veterinary Assistant Surgeons for treatment also shows a satisfac-
tory increase as compared with the figures of the previous year. This
increase, which is taking place year after year, shows the urgent neces-
sity of starting more dispensaries and it is hoped local bodies will realise
the importance of this matter and try to work up to the programme
of a dispensary in each district and subdivisional headquarters with a
Veterinary Assistant Surgeon in charge.
Hospitals and Dispensaries.
34. Table V shows the working of the hospitals and dispensaries
in this Province.
35. The number of such institutions in 1926-27 was 45. No new
hospital or dispensary was opened during the year.
36. The total number of animals treated both as in- and out-patients
was 71,159 and 21,290 cases were supplied with medicines as against
56,184 and 13,127 cases, respectively, in the previous year. The
increase, which is satisfactory, is evidence of the fact that the useful-
ness of these institutions is being fully appreciated by the public.
37. The construction of buildings for the Noakhali Veterinary
Dispensary was completed during the year and the dispensary was
opened by the then Hon'ble Minister in charge in July 1927.
38. The Noakhali Board have completed the land acquisition pro-
ceedings for the Veterinary Dispensary at Hatiya and a sum of
Rs. 6,000 has been set apart for the construction of necessary buildings
at that station.
39. The Chittagong District Board have provided funds for the
construction of a waiting shed for patients at the Cox's Bazar Dispensary
and have also sanctioned the cost to provide for the corrugated iron
roofing of the dispensary and quarters. Negotiations for acquiring
land for the Veterinary Dispensary at Satkania are also in progress.
40. The Dacca District Board have acquired a plot of land near
the Chashara railway station at Narainganj for the construction of the
Local Board office and the Veterinary Dispensary.
41. The Faridpur District Board have provided funds for the con-
struction of a serum cellar at Faridpur. They have also constructed a
Veterinary Dispensary at Gopalganj. The construction of quarters for
the Veterinary Assistant Surgeon there is now in progress.
42. The Mymensingh District Board have taken up the construction
of a serum cellar at the Sadar Dispensary. The question of water-
supply at the Sarishabari Veterinary Dispensary is, however, pending
for a long time but nothing has yet been done to remove the grievance.
43. It is satisfactory to note that the District Board of Pabna have
at last found it possible to allot a sum of Rs. 12,000 for the construction
of a Veterinary Hospital and quarters for the Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon at Pabna. This scheme was pending for twelve years for want
of funds.
10
44. A sum of Rs. 1324-5 has been placed at the disposal of the
Rangpur Board by the proprietors of the Panga Fair for the development
of veterinary work in that District.
45. The District Board of Rajshahi have constructed a new serum
cellar at the Veterinary Hospital at the headquarters station of the
District.
46. There is a scheme for the construction of a dog ward in the
Veterinary Hospital at Chinsura and it is reported that a sum of
Rs. 757-8 has been obtained from the Divisional Commissioner as grant
in this connection.
Part III—Breeding Operations.
47. Table VIII shows the number of stud bulls maintained in the
Province during the year. Of the total number of 152 bulls, on 1st
April 1927, 7 were kept at the Bengal Veterinary College, 27 by the Jail
authorities, 1 by Khas Mahal, 53 by District Boards, 6 by Munici-
palities, 41 by private gentlemen and 17 by the Agricultural Farms.
48. The number is considerably below the demand in an agricul-
tural province like Bengal, besides, most of them are of little advan-
tage to the cattle-owning public as they are mostly stationed in towns.
49. District Boards generally are now taking a lively interest in
this matter and it is hoped they will co-operate with the Special Officer
appointed in this connection by allotting necessary funds for the pur-
chase and maintenance of a number of bulls for the outlying portions of
the districts.
Fairs and Shows.
50. Tables XIII and XIV show the particulars of horse and cattle
fairs held during the year.
51. As usual, these were attended by Inspectors or local Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons and all possible help was rendered by them in the
judging of animals and management of the fairs. Besides treating
diseased animals these officers delivered lectures on the prompt reporting
of outbreaks, the inoculation of serum, the care of live-stock and other
kindred subjects which are of benefit to the raiyats.
52. Great interest is shown by the people in these lectures and it
will certainly facilitate the work of these officers if early action is taken
to allot funds for the scheme in this connection, which will greatly
increase the scope of both lectures and lantern demonstrations.
Bull Breeding and Rearing Farms.
53. Three such farms were at work in this Province during the
year, one at Kalimpong, another at Rangpur and the third at Manipur
in Dacca. The first is managed by St. Andrew's Colonial Homes and
the other two by the Agricultural Department. Table IX, which is
intended to show the working of these farms, is left blank as it is
immaterial for the purpose of this departmental report.
54. Rangpur.—There were outbreaks of foot and mouth and
hæmorrhagic septicæmia in this farm. Prompt action was taken and
no casualty occurred.
11
55. Manipur.—Foot and mouth disease was also prevalent in this
farm but no casualty was reported.
56. Kalimpong.—No casualty occured in the herd maintained in
the farm during the year under report.
Part IV—Subordinate Staff.
57. Table VII shows in detail the staff employed on veterinary work
in this Province during the year.
58. The post of Itinerant Veterinary Assistant Surgeon at Saidpur,
which was sanctioned as a temporary measure in April 1926, was made
permanent and that at Kakdip was allowed to continue for another year
up to March 1929. Two new posts of Itinerant Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons were created and opened during the year, viz., one for Kalna
subdivision and an additional Itinerant Officer for Burdwan Sadar. A
third post of Itinerant Veterinary Assistant Surgeon for work in Vishnu-
pur subdivision was also created and opened during the year.
59. In February last Government accepted the recommendation of
the Commissioners of the Narainganj Municipality for the abolition of
(he post of Stationary Veterinary Assistant Surgeon there. In pursu-
ance of this order the post was abolished with effect from the afternoon
of the 31st March last.
60. Veterinary Assistant Surgeon Babu R. N. Das retired from
service in July last, while Veterinary Assistant Surgeon D. Munro was
permanently appointed as Veterinary Inspector at Mukhtesar. This
last vacancy has been kept open for the return of Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon Babu N. N. Banarji, who has been on leave since the termina-
tion of his deputation under the Sikkim Durbar.
Part V—General Remarks.
61. The Eastern Bengal Railway again organised a Demonstration
Train this year. Propaganda work of this Department was carried on
by demonstration of exhibits of pathological specimens, clay models of
sick and healthy cattle, fodder crops, veterinary medicines and instru-
ments, pictures, placards of diseases communicable to man from animals
and printed posters containing instruction in English and Bengali on
care and management of cattle. In addition to the above, films were
shown demonstrating various breeds of cattle in India and their useful-
ness as well. Altogether 15 centres were visited and halt was made at
each station for two days.
62. Reviewing the progress of the Department, I regret to have
to report that there is practically none. It would appear that Veteri-
nary work in this Province is generally regarded as an unmitigated
nuisance. Whenever any request is mode for furthering its work the
old, old cry of "no money " is raised. In only a very few cases do
District Boards realise the importance of the work the Department is
endeavouring to do, and yet this is an agricultural province and will
have to rely upon its animal population for the greater part of its income
for many years.
Without cattle the land cannot be ploughed, crops cannot be raised,
food cannot be obtained, transport cannot be carried on, man cannot
live, why then is veterinary work, without which cattle cannot be main-
tained, regarded as of so little importance ? Presumably it is the duty
12
of District and Local Boards to assist the inhabitants of the Province,
how can they do it better than by insisting that their cattle should be
kept healthy and free from disease ? No cattle, no food, no population,
what then is the use of education, public health, good communications,
etc.?
The actual direct loss in money to the Presidency, through animals
becoming diseased and dying is enormous, and could nearly all be saved
by calling in Veterinary assistance and the indirect loss is probably
incalculable.
Other provinces are quickly realising that veterinary work has been
relegated to an inferior position for far too long, why should this pro-
vince lag behind ? It is refreshing to see that a ray of light has pene-
trated the darkness, in the case of the Naogaon Dispensary, which is,
after many years of thought, about to be built, and in Berhampore where
provision is being made for a Hospital. Hopes are entertained that
similar light will dissipate the blackness in which veterinary work lies
in other places.
Several schemes for improvement are held up for want of funds,
such as " Free distribution of serum," " Increase of pay of Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons," " Division of work into three Ranges," " Staff
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons," etc. There is, however, little hope of
them maturing for same time.
63. In the midst of these depressing circumstances it is a pleasure
to record that a sum of Rs. 324 has been placed at the disposal of the
Rangpur Board by the proprietors of the Panga Fair for the improve-
ment and expansion of Veterinary aid in that district.
64. Assistant Directors.—Rai Sahib S. C. Paul, in spite of repeated
periods of sickness, has worked extremely well and been of great assist-
ance to me. Babu N. N. Majumdar has also worked consistently and
conscientiously.
65. Veterinary Inspectors.—I am making no mention this year as
circumstances do not warrant it. I appreciate the difficultites they have
to contend with, though I nevertheless am of the opinion that more
energy would secure more results.
66. Veterinary Assistant Surgeons.—Good work was done by Babu
H. K. Bose and M Shaikh Abdul Wahab on the Demonstration Train,
other than this nothing outstanding appears to have been done by any
Veterinary Assistant Surgeon. My remarks about the Inspectors are
equally applicable here and I am afraid they do not advertise themselves
enough on their tours.
67. Office.—The increased staff has not yet materialised. This
combined with what appears to be an unusual amount of sickness prob-
ably explains the delays about which I have frequently grumbled.
When the staff is augmented, everything should work much more
smoothly.
