ANNUAL REPORT OF THE IMPERIAL BACTERIOLOGIST
M.D., D.P.H., Pathologist. Memoirs of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture in India, Veterinary Series, Vol. II,
No. 8.
General Remarks. The appearance of Foot and
Mouth disease in our outkraals early in November, 1916,
caused great difficulty in providing accommodation for seg-
regated as well as healthy animals. Temporary sheds were
erected by our own labour for isolation, etc.
Relapsing fever broke out amongst the coolies and
gwalas* in the last week in December, 1916. Up to the 3rd
week of March, 1917, 46 cases with 14 deaths were
recorded. The disease was prevented from assuming more
serious proportions by the prompt introduction of sanitary
measures. Only two or three cases occurred during the last
month of the outbreak.
The maintenance of the increased output of sera and
vaccines during the last year, difficulties experienced in
obtaining material on account of war, and paucity of water
supply and labour imposed a heavy strain on the members
of the staff.
I am greatly indebted to Mr. Shilston for the assistance
that he has rendered me at all times and for placing his
experience and knowledge of local conditions freely at my
disposal.
The prompt and energetic measures taken by
Mr. Andrews on the occasions when the water pump broke
down prevented a very serious interruption of the work of
the Laboratory. His services in connection with the whole
of the plant under his charge are fully appreciated.
The three European Laboratory Assistants have carried
out their responsible duties with care and thoroughness and
their zeal and energy is to be commended.
Mr. Goffi acted as Farm Manager till July 14th, when
he was relieved by Mr. A. J. Hearsey. The improvements
effected by Mr. Goffi in the work of the Farm staff and the
condition of the estate have been maintained, and every
* Gwalas = Cattlemen.
FOR THE YEAR ENDING THE 31ST MARCH, 1917

effort is being made to render the estate still more produc-
tive.
The services of Rai Sahib Pandit Krishna Nand, Office
Superintendent, have been of the utmost value to me in deal-
ing with many administrative and other difficulties that
have arisen during the year. His long experience and
knowledge of local conditions have been placed freely at
my disposal.
The great increase in the office work and changes render-
ed necessary by the retirement of the Accountant, Rai Sahib
Pandit Nitya Nand, have entailed a considerable strain on
the office staff. The manner in which the work has been
carried on deserves special commendation.

I. ADMINISTRATION.
Staff. I remained in charge of the office of Director
and First Bacteriologist * throughout the year, and Mr.
Shilston held the post of Second Bacteriologist * except
between the 14th June and 8th October, 1917, when his
services were placed at the disposal of the Army Department
for special duty in Mesopotamia. Lieut. E. C. Bowes,
A.V.C., officiated for him during this interval.
The posts of Pathologist and Physiological Chemist re-
mained vacant during the year under report. Lieut. Bowes
officiated as Pathologist between the 9th October and 30th
November, 1917, on special duty.
Mr. Andrews was in charge of the electric installation
and other plants during the year under report, except from
the 12th October to 18th November, 1917, when he was
on deputation to the N.-W. Railway.
Mr. N. K. Vacha was appointed on probation to the second
post of Veterinary Deputy Superintendent sanctioned by

Government for the inoculation of cattle in the Military
Dairies, and in his place Mr. Sathe was appointed as a
Veterinary Inspector in this laboratory establishment.
Tours. Between 16th and 21st of September, 1917, I
visited Simla to see the Agricultural Adviser to the Govern-
ment of India, and between 7th and 17th of December,
1917, accompanied by Mr. Shilston, attended the meeting
of the Board of Agriculture at Poona.
The serum-making at Kargaina (Bareilly) was started by
the Second Bacteriologist on October 29th after his return
from special duty in Mesopotamia, and at the request of the
Director of Veterinary Services in India he visited Karachi
between the 17th and 29th December, 1917, to investigate
an outbreak of glanders among mules newly landed there.
Training. During the past year Mr. R. V. Pillai,
Laboratory Assistant, Bengal Veterinary College, and
Mohammad Yusuf, Veterinary Assistant, Kashmir State,
underwent a course of training at this laboratory.
Fodder and grain supply. The arrangements for
obtaining hay and grain were as in previous years and were
found satisfactory.
Forests. During the past year sufficient fuel was
obtained from our own forest now worked under the new
Working Plan, and its administration was carried on
satisfactorily.
Water supply. The new electrical pumping project
to augment the water supply at Muktesar is still in the
course of construction and will, it is hoped, be completed
during the year 1918-19.
Owing to the almost continuous rain during the summer
months in 1917, the question of water supply did not become
very acute. It was found necessary, however, to issue water
tickets for some weeks, and a considerable amount of labour
had to be employed in obtaining and distributing water
during this period.
Electric centrifuges. Reference to the statement
regarding the increased output of the laboratory will indicate
the pressing necessity of the new centrifuges which are on
order. The existing machines were run continuously There
was no opportunity of thoroughly overhauling them and

no stand-by in the event of a breakdown which fortunately
did not occur.
Supply of hill bulls and plains animals. The cost
of these animals had to be raised slightly and the demand
was fulfilled without any difficulty under the existing
arrangements.
Bareilly Branch Laboratory. To meet the increasing
demands for anti-rinderpest serum and to maintain rinderpest
virus for use in the inoculation of animals at the Govern-
ment Military Dairies, it was found necessary to open the
Branch Laboratory at Kargaina (Bareilly) during the winter
months, and to maintain between 150 and 200 serum-making
animals there. The experience gained shows that the
accommodation and area of land available at Kargaina are
quite insufficient for the work that has to be carried on there.
A number of temporary grass chappars (sheds) were erected
for the animals, but these proved to be very unsatisfactory
owing to their fragile nature and to the impossibility of
disinfecting them.
The lack of ground area and housing accommodation was
felt the more seriously owing to the successive appearances
of foot-and-mouth disease, hæmorrhagic septicæmia and black
quarter among the serum-making animals. It was also a
matter of difficulty to isolate animals required as controls.
The total amount of anti-rinderpest serum prepared at
and despatched from Kargaina up to the end of March, 1918,
was 404,847 doses.
Financial aspect. It is very satisfactory to note that
with effect from 1st September, 1917, the Government of
India have sanctioned charges for all routine products of this
laboratory.
It would not be out of place to mention that during the
year 1917-18, the total value of different products, calculated
on the basis fixed by Government, amounts to Rs. 4,15,080
against an expenditure of Rs. 3,36,481.*
General remarks. Foot-and-mouth disease was
present among the animals in the outkraals during the whole
year, with the exception of a period of six weeks in April
and May, but, by constructing temporary sheds for segrega-

tion as well as for healthy animals, the disease was kept
under control.
During the past year on two occasions, (i) end of June,
1917, and (ii) on the 8th October, 1917, relapsing fever broke
out among our coolies and gwalas (cattlemen). The second
outbreak, being of a serious nature, caused panic among them
and a large number ran away.
Scarcity of labour was a source of great anxiety during
the latter part of the year. Arrangements had to be made
for transport of the laboratory products through contractors,
local labour had to be obtained for farm work, and for a time
serum-making animals had to be kept in outkraals as there
was not sufficient low caste labour to attend to them in the
inner sheds.
During the year under review, the output of the products
of this laboratory was increased to nearly double that of last
year. To minimize the strain imposed on the staff two
temporary dressers and four bearers were appointed.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Cairo, is still being supplied
every month with 50,000 doses of anti-rinderpest serum and
this will be continued up to December.
The request of the Veterinary Department of Sudan
Government to supply them with 200,000 doses of anti-
rinderpest serum before September, 1918, is also being
complied with.
During the past year the demand for mallein from the
Military Department was immensely increased, but all indents
were complied with.
All members of the staff worked cheerfully and energetic-
ally notwithstanding the heavy strain imposed upon them
throughout the year.
II. PREPARATION OF SERUMS AND VACCINES.
Rinderpest serum. During the year 1917-18,
2,146,421 doses of anti-rinderpest serum were prepared as
against 1,243,670 doses prepared during the year 1916-17,
and 2,069,961 doses issued as against 1,409,220 doses during
the previous year.
