Annual Reports of the Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal, and
of the Bengal Veterinary College for the year 1931-32.
I. Civil Veterinary Department.—During the year under review
there was an increase in the mortality of animals from contagious
diseases as compared with that of the preceding year. Rinderpest which
was prevalent throughout the province took the heaviest toll, being
responsible for 71 per cent. deaths reported from bovine diseases; whilst
haemorrhagic septicaemia accounted for as many as 3,009 or about 20
per cent. of the deaths.
2. Preventive inoculation by the "serum alone" method of dealing
with outbreaks was carried out extensively with success. Four hundred
and seventy-one animals were also protected against rinderpest by the
"serum simultaneous" method at Manipur in Dacca and at Kapilmuni
in Khulna. The Hon'ble Minister notices with pleasure that the cost of
inoculation in the latter place was borne equally by the district board
and Rai Sahib Binode Bihary Sadhu of the district. It is hoped that
other district boards and public-spirited gentlemen will emulate their
example. An interesting experiment of inoculating plains cattle
against rinderpest with "goat-virus-alone" has been undertaken by the
department in collaboration with the Imperial Institute of Veterinary
Research at Muktesar. The result of this experiment has so far been
encouraging. Should the efficacy of the new "goat-virus-alone" method
be established, it is hoped that it will be possible to secure the immunity
of cattle from rinderpest at much less cost than at present.
3. Veterinary aid in the ordinary care of animals in the mufassal
is still inadequate. No new hospital or dispensary was opened during
the year. Nevertheless it is gratifying to note that a number of district
boards have taken steps towards the construction or improvement of
hospitals and dispensaries.
4. The necessity of tackling the important problem of animal
diseases in Bengal has been keenly felt for some time past. During
the year a scheme for the appointment of a Veterinary Investigation
Officer for a term of five years was worked out at the instance of the
Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, who offered
financial
assistance towards it. This scheme involves investigation of haemor-
rhagic septicaemia, rinderpest and other common diseases of cattle, etc.,
under the direction of the Director, Civil Veterinary Department, and
Veterinary Adviser to this Government and in collaboration with the
Director, Imperial Research Institute of Veterinary Research at
Muktesar. This scheme was sanctioned after the close of the year, and
it is hoped to start the work as early as possible.

5. The Governor acting with the Minister-in-charge notes with
pleasure the names of the officers of the department who did good work
during the year and also desires to acknowledge the services of Mr. Kerr
and Khan Sahib Saiyed Sultan Ahmad.
II. Bengal Veterinary College.—The college maintained its popu-
larity as will be evident from the increased number of applications for
admission from various parts of India and even outside. There was also
an increase in the number of entrants from Bengal in spite of limited
scope for employment. In an agricultural country like Bengal, good
and healthy cattle are a valuable asset to the cultivator, and an efficient
veterinary staff is essentially necessary for educating the people in the
care of their live-stock and affording the necessary veterinary aid.
Much importance, therefore, attaches to the veterinary college which is
the only institution in Bengal turning out qualified veterinary practi-
tioners.
2. The report of the Principal contains an interesting account of
the activities in various branches of the college and hospital.
The
scheme for a refresher-course of training of Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons and veterinary graduates referred to in the last year's report
has been kept in abeyance in view of the meagre support it received
from the district boards which were consulted in the matter.
3. The Minister-in-charge is pleased to acknowledge the services
rendered by Mr. MacGregor in the administration of the college and
notes with pleasure the names of members of the college staff who did
good work during the year. His thanks are also due to the non-oificial
members of the committee of management for the services rendered
by them.

Annual Report of the Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal,
for the year 1932-33.
Preface and General Administration.
Charge.—I held charge of the office of Director and Veterinary-
Adviser to Government throughout the year.
2. Tours.—I was on tour for 55 days and travelled 8,100 miles-
by rail, 126 miles by road and 310 miles by steamer.
3. I inspected in April the Veterinary Hospital at Rangpur and
the work of the Itinerant Veterinary Assistant Surgeon and discussed
with the Chairman, District Board, the improvement and expansion.
of veterinary aid in that district. In the same month I inspected
the veterinary work at Dacca and Jaidebpur, where I discussed with
Sir Douglas Stewart, Bart, the Chief Manager of the Bhawal
Wards Estate, the proposal to entertain a Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon for the health and treatment of cattle on the estate. The
post of Veterinary Assistant Surgeon was established in September.
4. In May I visited Rangpur for the second time and attended
the inspection of the cattle farm there by the Hon'ble Minister in
charge of the Department of Agriculture and Industries.
5. In June I collected at Kalimpong materials for research in
connection with hæmaturia in English and hill cattle. The nature
of this disease is still unknown. It appears to be of a chronic nature
causing loss of condition and utility and eventually death.
6. In July I visited Simla and attended the meeting of the
Advisory Board of the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research.
At Simla I was elected to the Governing Body as representative of
the Advisory Board in place of Mr. Hewlett.
7. In September I visited Muktesar for a month to study
rinderpest virus production and serum production in connection with
the serum simultaneous method of inoculation. Before returning to
Calcutta in October I attended a meeting of the Governing Body of
the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research at Simla.
8. In February I visited Delhi and attended the second meeting
of the Imperial Council as a representative of the Bengal Veterinary
Department, and the Animal Wing meeting of the Board of Agricul-
ture.
9. In March I acted as President of the Board of Examiners for
conducting the annual and final examinations at the Bengal Veterinary
College.
10. In the year under report my tours in the districts were
restricted on account of shortage of travelling allowance sanctioned.
Enhancement of the grant for the succeeding year was applied for.
