AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT
Nagpur, the 21st March 1938.
READ—
Letter No. 4071-B-1-3, dated the 16th August 1937, from
the Director of Veterinary Services, Central Prov-
inces.
RESOLUTION
The year 1936-37 was a healthy year for cattle.
The total number of outbreaks of contagious disease fell
to 5,584 [10,400] and the total cattle mortality was
16,771 [17,579].
These figures are the lowest for the
last five years.
The fall was particularly noticeable in
rinderpest and foot-and-mouth diseases.
2. The main feature of the year was the special
attention paid to prophylactic measures against rinderpest
and other diseases. The main routes through which
cattle enter the province from Central India were
subjected to intensive prophylactic work. For protection
against rinderpest, the new method of goat virus vaccina-
tion, which is cheaper and more effective than the old
serum alone method, was adopted. A short course of
training in the technique was started at the Central Veter -
nary Laboratory, Nagpur, and two Assistant Directors,
five Veterinary Inspectors, and 58 Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons were trained.
Centres for the preparation of
the virus were opened at Jubbulpore, Raipur and Amraoti,
at which 62,460 doses were prepared. Work, which was
started during 1935-36 along the main cattle routes, was
gradually extended into the interior, and thus immunizer
zones were created all over the province.
In all the total number of vaccinations and inocula-
tions performed is reported to be 756,517 [475,438].
Government attaches the greatest importance to the con-
tinuation of these prophylactic measures which will lead
2
to a substantial reduction in the mortality from serious
diseases, such as rinderpest and haemorrhagic septi-
caemia, and acknowledges with gratitude the generous
financial assistance given-to the province by the Imperial
Council of Agricultural Research which has made these
prophylactic methods possible.
3. The number of cases treated at the dispensaries
and on tour were 796,711 [842,940], the fall being attribut-
able to the general healthiness of the year. Castrations
numbered 167,519 [171,659], the small fall being attribut-
able to a larger number of calves likely to become good
bulls being left uncastrated. As many as 100 outlying dis-
pensaries were opened to provide better facilities for live-
stock owners in the interior.
4. Government has read with
interest
Mr.
Garewal's report on the activities of the Veterinary De-
partment during the year.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of this Resolution
together with the enclosure be forwarded to the Director
of Veterinary Services and to all Commissioners and
Deputy Commissioners, Central Provinces and Berar for
information and guidance and that it be published in
Part I of the Central Provinces and Berar Gazette.
By order of the Governor,
Central Provinces & Berar,
C. J. W. LILLIE,
Secy, to Govt., C. P. & Berar,

No. 4071/1-3
FROM
J. S. GAREWAL, ESQ., M.R.C.V.S., I.V.S.,
DIRECTOR OF VETERINARY SERVICES,
Central Provinces and Berar,
To
THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT,
AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT,
Central Provinces and Berar.
Nagpur, the 13th July 1937.
SIR,
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report of
the Civil Veterinary Department, Central Provinces and
Berar, for the year ending the 31st March 1937.
2. Rai Bahadur R. V. Pillai officiated as Director
from the 1st April to the 18th June 1936 and was revert-
ed to his substantive post from the 19th June 1936.
During this period he inspected the veterinary dispensa-
ries at Pachmarhi, Sakoli, Gondia, Waraseoni, Baihar and
Balaghat and the work of the Veterinary Assistant Sur-
geon posted at Pipariya in connection with rural uplift
scheme.
3. I took over the charge on the 19th June 1936 and
held it till the end of the year under report. During this.
period I inspected the following 92 veterinary dispensa-

The work of the Veterinary Assistant Surgeon posted at
Pipariya in connection with the rural unlift scheme work
was also inspected.
This is the first time that so many
veterinary dispensaries were inspected.
During these tours several villages in different districts
were visited in connection with contagious diseases, in-
oculation, castration, etc., and necessary action taken
with a view to reduce mortality in livestock from different
contagious diseases and improve castration and other
veterinary work in the Province.
The main routes
through which cattle enter the Central Provinces through
Saugor and Hoshangabad districts from outside were in-
spected and places selected for quarantine stations. Pro-
posals in this connection have been submitted to the Gov-
ernment before introducing the Cattle Diseases Act.
I attended the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Meetings of
the Advisory Board of the Imperial Council of Agricul-
tural Research held at Simla and Delhi during July 1936
and February 1937, respectively. The Second Meeting
of the Animal Husbandry Wing of the Board of Agricul-
ture and Animal Husbandry held at Madras during
December 1936 was also attended by me.
I supervised the work of the Veterinary Investigation
Officer, Central Provinces, and also checked the work
of the goat virus vaccination staff which is financed by
the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research.

The work in connection with the goat virus vaccina-
tion received special attention. Two Assistant Directors
of Veterinary Services, 8 Veterinary Inspectors and 58
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons were trained at the Cen-
tral Veterinary Laboratory, Nagpur.
The number of
goat virus vaccinations done is a record so far achieved in
the Province in dealing with rinderpest which has been
the cause of high mortality in cattle during the previous
years. Similarly necessary measures were taken in dealing
with hæmorrhagic septicæmia. Surra was found pre-
valent in different districts and the treatment of nagonal
was introduced with very good results. The work of test-
ing cattle against tuberculosis at different Government
cattle-breeding farms was also taken up and very useful
data in this connection has been collected by subjecting
animals to the double intradermal tuberculin test. Differ-
ent diseases in poultry which had been causing high mor-
tality such as spirochætosis, fowl cholera, etc., received
special attention.
Proposals for the opening of 46 dispensaries in the
Province with a view to check more effectively the con-
tagious diseases and treatment of animals were submitted
to the Government. 100 outlying veterinary dispensaries
were opened during the year under report in different
districts of the Province with a view to help livestock
owners to get the necessary veterinary aid which have
given very good results and are much appreciated.
Different areas in the Province were visited where
mortality from contagious diseases in the past has been
very high and necessary action taken in dealing with
different diseases. Several problems relating to the use
of goat virus in dealing with rinderpest, nazal granuloma,
skin diseases, piroplasmosis, glanders, hæmorrhagic sep-
ticæmia, blackquarter, coccidiosis and tick fever received
special attention.
4. Rai Bahadur R. V. Pillai held charge of the post
of Deputy Director of Veterinary Services from the 19th
June till the 9th December 1936, when he proceeded on
eight months' leave on medical certificate.
During the
period, he toured in Raipur and Bilaspur districts and
inspected Bilaspur dispensary.
5. Mr. P. S. Nair held charge as officiating Deputy
Director of Veterinary Services, Central Provinces, from

4
10th December 1936 till the end of the year. During this
period he toured in Nagpur, Chanda, Chhindwara, Betul,
Bhandara and Balaghat districts and inspected 22 dispen-
saries and the office of the Veterinary Inspector, Gondia.
6. Mr. Bachan Singh continued to work as Veter-
inary Investigation Officer, Central Provinces, through-
out the year and supervised the work of the goat virus
staff sanctioned by the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research. He carried out investigations into the blood
protozoan and bacterial diseases, bovine trypanosomiasis,
coccidiosis, contagious abortion in cows, skin diseases and
diseases of fish. His detailed report has already been sub-
mitted to the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research.
He was deputed for a short course of training at the Im-
perial Veterinary Research Institute, during August 1936.
I.—VETERINARY
INSTRUCTION
7. No new scholarships for veterinary training were
awarded during the year under report.
Out of eight
scholars studying at the Bombay Veterinary College in

to the final year class and eight were studying in the second
year.
8. Compounders' Class.—Proposals were submitted
to the Government for the training of compounders at
headquarter veterinary dispensaries which were approv-
ed. Candidates already under training will be examined
during this year.
9. Six Veterinary Assistant Surgeons were trained
in bacteriological technique at the Central Veterinary
Laboratory, Nagpur, prior to their posting in the district.
A short course of training in goat and tissue virus tech-
nique was started at the Veterinary Laboratory, Nagpur,
with a view to train these men before starting goat virus
work in all the districts of the Province in order to reduce
mortality in livestock from rinderpest. Special training
was given for treating surra cases in the field.
