FOR THE YEAR
1924-25
Proceedings of the Hon'ble the Chief Commissioner and Agent to the Governor-General,
North-West Frontier Province, No. 595 Rev., dated the 30th September 1925.
READ—
Report on the working of the Civil Veterinary Department for the
year ending 31st March 1925.
REMARKS.—The ravages of cattle disease were unfor-
tunately particularly serious. In 1923-24 the number of
fatal cases was almost treble the number in the preceding
year. During 1924-25 there was a marked further increase,
no fewer than 23,518 cases of contagious disease being
reported, resulting in 1,477 deaths as compared with 824
deaths and 10,751 cases in 1923-24. Foot-and-Mouth disease
alone accounted for 11,308 more cases amongst cattle than
in the preceding year while the number of cases of Rinderpest
was 1,782 as against 525 in the preceding year. Amongst
horses Surra accounted for 48 cases and 24 deaths as compared
with 11 cases and no deaths in the preceding year.
With reference to the Superintendent's complaint of the
failure on the part of the Patwaris to send in early
reports of the occurrence of contagious disease, it may be
mentioned that since the close of the year, the North-West
Frontier Province has adopted the Punjab scheme of granting
rewards to Patwaris for the prompt reporting of such
diseases and it is hoped that the District Officers will see that
the scheme receives a fair trial by ensuring that early reports
are promptly and adequately rewarded.
The sanctioned veterinary staff remained the same as
in. 1923-24, namely a Superintendent shared by the Northern
Punjab Circle and the North-West Frontier Province,
2 Inspectors and 21 Veterinary Assistants. The Superintend-
ent invites attention to the smaller pay enjoyed as compared
with the Punjab, but under the sanction of the Government
of India conveyed in letter No. 233-E., dated the 26th June
1925, the pay of the subordinate staff received a considerable
increase with effect from the 1st March 1925. The Chief
Commissioner fully appreciates the difficulties with which
the Veterinary Department have had to contend as the result
of the decrease of the veterinary staff by 3 Inspectors
since November 1922 and 2 Veterinary Assistants since
1923-24, on account of financial stringency, but with an
annual diminishing Government grant-in-aid to the District
Boards, syncronizing with insistent demands for additional
( 2 )
expenditure upon education and in other directions, there
appears to be little prospects of much increase in the matter
of veterinary activity in the near future unless further
financial assistance is forthcoming from the Central
Government in connection with the recently proclaimed policy
of additional attention to the fundamental interests of the
agricultural community.
The whole question of the
possibility of increasing the veterinary staff is, however, being
re-examined.
The building requirements of the Department will also
be brought to the special notice of the District Boards
concerned.
It is gratifying to note that in spite of the decrease from
18 to 16 in the number of Veterinary Hospitals, the number
of animals treated increased from 46,258 to 48,929, while
medicine was supplied for a further 3,800 cases which could
not be brought to hospital. Veterinary Assistants visited
16,873 villages and treated 41,317 animals, in each case a
considerable increase over the figure of the previous year.
Castrations showed a most gratifying increase from
17,098 to 28,652 and the desirability of further extending
the use of the Burdizzo castrator is commended to the notice
of all Deputy Commissioners.
The Chief Commissioner is fully alive to the desirability
of encouraging horse-breeding in the North-West Frontier
Province and towards the close of the year under review the
Government of India sanctioned an annual grant of Rs. 2,500
for such races at the Peshawar and Rawalpindi meetings as
are likely to further the objects in view.
In conclusion, the Chief Commissioner desires to
acknowledge the valuable work done by Mr. J. Brett who
was in charge of the Department throughout the year and
tenders his thanks to Mr. T. J. Egan for his stimulating
report and energetic advocacy of the needs of his Depart-
ment.

treatment of patients in hospitals and other important
veterinary matters. The up-to-date methods of treating
different diseases and controlling outbreaks of these diseases
among domesticated animals were also pointed out to them.
The advantages of inoculation, castration of useless bulls
and horses and the early reporting of outbreaks of diseases
to veterinary officials were explained to the big zamindars
and cattle-owners at different places and at cattle fairs
and shows.

The following tonga lines were inspected with a view
to the detection of contagious or infectious diseases among
equines and to note the general condition of the horses
plying there:—
Darya Khan-Dera Ismail Khan.

Abbottabad-Mansehra.
A report regarding inspection of Darya Khan-Dera
Ismail Khan line was prepared by the Superintendent and

Offices, concerned.
Tonga and tumtum ponies plying for hire on several
other roads in North-West Frontier Province were also
examined at different periods. Herds of cattle travelling on
these roads, on the Grand Trunk Road and villages
round-about were also inspected during the journeys on tour
and several cases of non-contagious diseases were sent to the
nearest veterinary hospitals.
The Superintendent attended the following cattle-shows
and horse fairs, acted as a member of Judging Committees
and sent reports on them to the Deputy Commissioners
concerned:—
(1) Dera Ismail Khan.

The Superintendent personally checked the work of
staff while on tour, that is, inoculations, castrations and work
regarding the general treatment of diseases.
The Superintendent interviewed several District
Officers regarding veterinary matters and inspected all the
Government stallions, District Board stallions and many of
the bulls working in the Province.
