GOVERNMENT OF THE
CENTRAL PROVINCES AND BERAR
AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT
Nagpur, the 15th October 1941.
READ—
Memorandum No. 1638-1-3, dated the 20th August 1941,
from the Director of Veterinary Services, Central
Provinces and Berar, forwarding the report on the
working of the Civil Veterinary Department for the
year ending the 31st March 1941.
RESOLUTION
The department has another successful year's work to its
credit. The year was comparatively healthy, both the total num-
ber of reports and mortality showing a welcome decline. Rinder-
pest, the disease most fatal to cattle, was also less virulent. As a
result the number of inoculations was naturally less than in
previous years.
2. The number of ordinary veterinary dispensaries remained
unaltered but for the conversion of one into an outlying dispen-
sary. Three more outlying dispensaries were opened, and Gov-
ernment is pleased to note that the utility of outlying dispensaries
is being recognised by the public and the local bodies, and that
they are attracting patients. The total number of cases treated
at the dispensaries, including those in which only medicines were
supplied, was 3.96 (3.69) lakhs. This is in addition to 3.94 (4.21)
lakhs cases treated on tour. These figures testify to the popularity
of the department.
3. The nine quarantine stations opened last year did very
useful work, and more than paid their way. The full effects of
the scheme cannot be gauged until a ring of such stations can be
established along all the routes by which cattle enter the province,
this question will need serious attention in future.
4. An innovation in this year's report is the chapter on
animal industry. It is hoped that the information collected there-
in will be found useful and will stimulate interest in this branch
of rural economy. The Government cattle breeding farms con-
tinued their useful activities, and it is interesting to note that as
a result of selective breeding the average annual milk yield of
Sahiwal cows at the Telinkheri farm has been raised from 2,000 lb.
to 3,615 lb., i.e., by about 80 per cent. A scheme for the investi-
gation of poultry diseases was drawn up with the assistance of the
Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, and brought into force
after the close of the year.
2
5. Government wishes to place on record its appreciation
of the good work done by the Director of Veterinary Services and
his staff 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.

ing units and six quarantine stations and attended two cattle shows

porated later in the report and a detailed report on the
work of the Veterinary Investigation Officer for the

toured for 50 days and inspected seven dispensaries.
8. Mr. P. S. Sundram Pillay, G.B.V.C., continued to officiate
