where breeding has been going on for a considerable length
of time on scientific lines, under the supervision of special
officers of the Civil Veterinary Department, Punjab.
38. Buffalo breeding—Tables VIII and VIII-A—
There were 26 buffalo bulls of Nili breed on the 1st
of April, 1934. Eight more were purchased during the
year and 6 were cast for age. Hence at the close of the
year there was a balance of 28 buffalo bulls. These
covered 2,724 buffalo cows as compared with 2,661 during
the last year. Efforts are being made to improve the
indigenous breeds of buffalo particularly in Hazara, Bannu
and Peshawar Districts. The progeny of these bulls are
promising. This breed (Nili) is renowned for its milk and
the intention of the Department is by breeding, to improve
the local milk strain.
This will give an impetus to the milk and ghee industry
in the Province.
SECTION III—OTHERS.
39. Sheep breeding—
A sheep breeding scheme was introduced by the
Department. Twenty Hissar dale rams and 15 ewes were
imported from the Government Cattle Farm, Hissar and
were distributed amongst breeders in the Kaghan Valley
of Hazara District. A preliminary grading up of the local
flocks selected is insisted upon as an essential part of the
scheme for improving the general standard flocks. In the
first few years some casualties will be met with due to
climatic and other adverse conditions prevalent in Kaghan
during the winter, but these will be amply compensated for
by the evolution of improved flocks in future years. After
taking into consideration all factors, the chief of which is
the improvement of the quality of wool, the Marino strain
has been decided upon. The main industry of the valley
is the making of coarse woollen articles such as blankets,
etc. Improvement in wool means a better quality of
material and more income for the inhabitants.

PART IV—MISCELLANEOUS.
40. Livestock Shows and Fairs—Tables XIII and XIV—
Four Cattle Fairs and Horse Shows were held in the
Province during the year under report, one at Haripur,
another at Kohat and two at Mardan. The second Cattle
Fair at Mardan was the one which was postponed last year
at the eleventh hour owing to a serious outbreak of cattle
plague at Kandi Rustomkhel in the vicinity of Mardan.
Statistics regarding the Cattle Fairs and Horse Shows in
the Province held during the year are given in tables XIII
and XIV attached.
The cattle collected at these shows illustrated various
stages of the improvement effected in the indigenous breed
of cattle through the system of subsidy bulls and showed the
remarkable success which has been achieved in the short
period of 6 years during which the system has been in force
in this Province. The presence at the fairs of cattle from
long distances was in itself a proof of the awakening among
villagers of an interest in cattle-breeding.
Livestock
exhibitions were arranged and the produce of good and
indifferent sires were shown side by side to illustrate the
scientific breeding.
Under the personal supervision of Mr. S. I. A. Shah
the Veterinary Subordinate Staff deputed to the fairs,
delivered lectures on the methods of control of contagious
diseases, improvement of indigenous breeds, and the
castration of undesirable sires on scientific lines by the
Burdizzo Castrator, etc. Various leaflets pertaining to the
aforesaid subjects were also hung at various places in the
fairs and shows, and were distributed amongst the
zamindars.
41. Subordinate Establishment—Table VII—
At the close of the year the sanctioned cadre of the
subordinate technical staff was:—
(1) Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
(2) Veterinary Inspectors
(3) Veterinary Assistants 1st grade
(4) Veterinary Assistants 2nd grade
(5) Veterinary Assistants 3rd grade

One post of Veterinary Assistant Surgeon was sanction-
ed from 1st March, 1935. This small staff of 35 men is
insufficient to cope with the progress of veterinary activities.
The question of creation of more posts of Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons and new posts of Stock Assistants is
under consideration.
Two clerks were added to the sanctioned cadre of
Ministerial Establishment from 1st November, 1934.
42. Veterinary education—
There were 10 Frontier students studying at the Punjab
Veterinary College, Lahore at the beginning of the year.
During the year under report two more students were
admitted and two left the College after qualifying as L. V. P.
Hence there were 10 Government stipendiaries at the
College at the close of the year. They are distributed as
under :—
Class

It has been suggested that more students should be
sent to the College in future years so that local qualified
men can be secured for employment in this Department.
Unless more stipendiaries are sent the shortage will become
acute as many senior men will be retiring during the next
few years.
A Veterinary Assistant Surgeon was deputed to the
Government Cattle Farm, Hissar to undergo three months'
training in Animal Husbandry, to work at the Agricultural
Experimental Station, Tarnab, as in charge Livestock
Section.

43. Expenditure—
The detail of expenditure is given in table XV
attached.
44. General remarks—
There was a considerable increase in the activities of the
Department inspite of financial stringency and shortage of
staff. Details of work done during the year are given in
previous chapters.
No satisfactory progress can be made in controlling
contagious diseases- or even in dealing with the smaller
ailments of cattle, until the staff of the Civil Veterinary
Department is considerably expanded. The field for
veterinary activity in this Province is so large that it is not
easy to decide the measure of expansion to be arrived at.
The view expressed by the Royal Commission on Agricul-
ture in India was that the aim should be to provide on an
average at least one Veterinary Assistant Surgeon for every
25 thousand cattle and one qualified Veterinary Surgeon
for each district. This decision was arrived at on the
assumption that the Civil Veterinary Departments in most
provinces are not responsible for equine contagious diseases,
a duty which is entrusted to the Army Remount Depart-
ment, and without attaching much importance to the
contagious and parasatic diseases of sheep and goat as the
number of these animals in most provinces of India is
almost negligible. Considering that the duties of mule and
horse-breeding and also of cattle-breeding in this Province
are entrusted to the Civil Veterinary Department and that
this Province borders on countries where the control of
contagious diseases is unknown. The quota arrived at by
the Royal Commission on Agriculture is scarcely adequate
for the requirements of this Province.
In any case during the coming five years our minimum
aim should be to strengthen the Department in this Province
in accordance with the recommendations of the Royal
Commission on Agriculture in India. The total head of
cattle in this Province is roughly 2 millions for which 80
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons are needed. The present
strength is 36, so there exists a deficiency of 44 Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons. To this must be added 15 per cent.
17
leave reservists cadre. This makes a total of 92 subordi-
nate veterinarians or a total deficit of 56 men.
If this Province be. compared with the adjoining pro-
vince of the Punjab, with its 294 dispensaries has 370 mer
on the cadre of the Subordinate Veterinary Service. Our
requirements for the 43 dispensaries in this Province are
54 veterinarians. Our present strength is 35 veterinarians
and to carry out efficiently the work at present in hand 19
more veterinarians are immediately needed. For further
development on the lines recommended by the Royal Com-
mission on Agriculture in India, a further 38 veterinarians
would be needed for whom adequate financial provision
should be made in the Budget of this Department in the
coming five years.
The Royal Commission on Agriculture in India, vide
paragraph 251 of their report suggested that the Chief
Veterinary Officer in a Province should be styled the
Director, Veterinary Services. This suggestion has already
been given effect to by the appointment of the Director
of Agriculture and Allied Departments.
Under the
Director, Veterinary Services, there should be Deputy
Directors. The Commission considered that it would be
sufficient if each province is divided into two or three circles
only each of which would be in the charge of a Deputy
Director who would be a member of the Indian Veterinary
Service so long as any number of this remains in service
or of the new Superior Provincial Veterinary Service. The
appropriate scale of pay for these services would be the
existing scale of the Indian Veterinary Service. Consider-
ing the size of the Province, the creation of 1 post of Deputy
Director would suffice.
The Commission further recommended the appoint-
ment of one District Veterinary Officer for each district who
would-be a member of the Provincial Veterinary Service.
Class II. According to this recommendation 5 posts of
District Veterinary Officer are needed, one new post might
be created every year for the next five years.
The total cost of clerical establishment in the Punjab
is Rs. 52,000 for 294 hospitals against Rs. 4,000 for 43
hospitals in this Province. On the Punjab basis the cost
of the clerical establishment in this Province works out at
18
Rs. 7,600 which is immediately and urgently required for
the smooth and efficient discharge of clerical duties.
The following persons were given Kursi Nashin
tickets in recognition of their services on the recommenda-
tions of this Department :—
(1) M. Gul Dad Khan, son of Shah Sawar Khan
of Garhi Ismailzai, District Peshawar.
(2) M. Mir Badshah, son of Sayyid Hussain Shah
of Akora, District Peshawar.
(3) Malik Hayat Hussain, son of Malik Ahmad of
Mahra, District Dera Ismail Khan.
(4) M. Mir Dad Khan, son of Mir Zaman Khan of
Banda Atai Khan, District Hazara.
The work of the technical and the ministerial staff was
on the whole satisfactory. The Superintendent records his
special appreciation of the valuable work done by his Head
Clerk, Mr. Ghulam Sarwar Khan and the following
officials :—
(1) Raja Sadarud Din Ahmad, Personal Assistant.
(2) Ch.
Feroze
Din,
Veterinary
Inspector,
Peshawar.
(3) Haji Rahman Gul,
Veterinary Assistant,
Durgai.
The assistance and close co-operation of all district
officers and specially of the following gentlemen with the
Department is praiseworthy :—
(1) Khan Sahib Sheikh Abdur Rahman, Honorary
Secretary, District Board, Kohat.
(2) Mr. Abdur Rauf Khan, Secretary, District
Board, Peshawar.
(3) Mr. Khuda Bakhsh, Secretary, Municipal
Committee, Kohat City.
