THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF CATTLE FROM VARIOUS DISTRICTS.
In connection with the scheme for the establishment of a
second Laboratory for the preparation of anti-Rinderpest
serum one of the most important questions to decide is the
possibility of obtaining a sufficient supply of highly susceptible
bulls of Hill breed. Even if it be found that the anti-Rinderpest
serum can be to a large extent prepared by using Plains bulls
and buffaloes of lesser susceptibility, a certain number of ani-
mals possessing a high grade of susceptibility are necessary for
maintaining the virulence of the Rinderpest blood and for
testing the potency of. each brew of serum.
A reference was made to the Superintendents, C. V. D., of
the U. P., the Punjab, the N.-W. F. P., and Bengal, and they
forwarded to Bareilly for the purpose of testing their suscep-
tibility, bulls purchased from Districts where it appeared that
the cattle possessed little immunity to Rinderpest and from
RINDERPEST
155
which a supply of bulls could be obtained at a reasonable
price.
Hazara.—Twenty bulls were received from the Hazara
District. These bulls were selected from four Tahsils. These
bulls are in size and conformation very similar to the Kumaun
breed used at Muktesar. They are however larger and better class
bulls than those obtained for serum making at the Muktesar
Laboratory and average about 100lbs. more in weight.
Their price is on an average Rs. 24-14 as compared with
an average of Rs. 8 paid for the Kumaun bulls.
Their scale of susceptibility as shown by the tests carried
out ranges much lower than that of the Kumaun cattle among
which the mortality reaches about 99 per cent. Their suscep-
tibility, though of a lower order, is in my opinion sufficient for the
purpose of utilising them as Hill bull controls in serum prepara-
tion and testing. In testing serum it would be necessary to
make allowance for the lesser susceptibility of these bulls. The
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, North-Western
Frontier Provinces, states that about 500 bulls could be obtained
from this District each year. He also suggests a site for the
Laboratory at Mongal, half-way between Abbottabad and
Nowshera.
Kangra District.—Twenty bulls were obtained from this
District. Four Tahsils were selected and five bulls purchased
from each.
In weight conformation these bulls are very similar to
the animals from the Hazara District. The average cost is
Rs. 14-3 per head.
Their scale of susceptibility is about equal to that shown
by the bulls from the Hazara District.
Regarding the supply of these bulls and the location of a
Laboratory in this District, the Offg. Chief Superintendent,
C. V. D., Punjab, states:—
(1) Cattle were obtained with great difficulty.
(2) The people are ignorant and superstitious and will
not sell their animals for the Laboratory.
156
RINDERPEST.
(3) The places mentioned for a Laboratory in or near
the Kangra District are all too lowly situated
and have a very heavy rainfall.
Darjeeling District.—Seventeen bulls and three cows were
received from Kalimpong (Siliguri).
The cows in concession to native prejudice were not used.
These cattle are larger than Hill bulls from other districts.
They average about 500lbs., are coarse bred looking animals
showing some features of resemblance to the Yak.
The average price was Rs. 21-8 per head. These animals
showed a very high susceptibility to Rinderpest. All the
seventeen inoculated bulls succumbed in a few days to a very
severe attack of the disease. The clinical symptoms and the
post-mortem lesions were very marked. The disease ran a
more acute course than in the Kumaun District breed which
we regard as possessing a maximum degree of suscep-
tibility.
A brief summary of correspondence from the Superintend-
ent, C. V. D., Bengal, regarding the supply of these bulls and
suggestion regarding a site for a Laboratory in this District is
attached:—
"A Veterinary Inspector belonging to the Civil Veterin-
ary Department, Bengal, was ordered to proceed on tour in
Sikkim, Darjeeling, with a view to obtaining particulars as to
the numbers and breeds of cattle available for serum making.
The cattle available in Darjeeling and Sikkim are of the Siri,
Thamina, and Parbatya breeds.
As far as could be ascertained, about 200 cattle from Sik-
kim, 300 from Kalimpong, 200 from Pedong and 100 from the
surrounding villages of Darjeeling and Kurseong sub-division
can be purchased annually. Arrangements can be made to
import 500—1,000 cattle of the Siri breed from Bhutan, the
average price being Rs. 35 to 40 per animal. It should be noted
that there will be great difficulty in purchasing cattle during
the plough season, i.e., February, March, June and July. The
Political Agent of Sikkim, however, is of the opinion that not
RINDERPEST.
157
more than 100 cattle should be purchased annually, and has
passed orders to this effect."
Summary of report on available sites suitable for a
Laboratory from the Superintendent, C. V. D., Bengal (by
Forest Officer).
(1) There are two blocks of Forests which would suit the
purpose.
1. Hoolagaon block comprising:—
Lulagaon, Pemling, Kafir, Bokhin, Saihur and
Chumany, total acreage 8,227 acres.
2. Pankasari block comprising:—
Pankasari, Rashet, Labat, Rechila and Kollong,
total acreage 14,104 acres.
Total area required to support one head of cattle 10 acres.
(2) List of altitudes of the open blocks giving the highest
and lowest points.
(3) Best sites for bungalows and offices are:—
1. Lulagaon.
2. Pashenting or Labha.
(4) Rainfall and temperature cannot be given.
(5) The water supply in the Lulagaon group is deficient
for two months in the year, except at Lulagaon itself, where
there is a good supply. That of the Pankasari group is good
and sufficient throughout the year. As regards the roads,
there is already a road from the Lulagaon site for pony traffic,
distance from the Bageakot Railway Station 20 miles.
Present state of the road is bad and considerable expendi-
ture would be required to improve it.
There is also a P. W. D. road from Pashenting, 19 miles
from Dam Dim Railway Station and 20 miles from Mal Railway
Station.
The first 11 miles are fit for pony or coolie traffic only and
thence carts are available.
Allahabad District.—The Superintendent, C. V. D., U. P.,
informed me that he had observed a higher rate of mortality
158
RINDERPEST.
from Rinderpest among the cattle around Fatehpur, than in any
other part of his province. One of our Veterinary Inspectors
was sent to assist a subordinate detailed by the Superintendent,
C. V. D., U. P., in purchasing 20 bulls from this district.
After three weeks' touring only eight bulls were purchased
at an average price of Rs. 34-4. These bulls showed a very
moderate susceptibility to Rinderpest.
Tarai and Bhabar District.—Veterinary Inspector Mr.
D'Costa was detailed to tour in the District during the month of
December, with the object of obtaining information regarding
the supply of bulls which could be obtained from this District
and in order to purchase a number of bulls for the determina-
tion of their susceptibility.
It was thought possible that a certain number of suitable
bulls might be obtained from this district for the Muktesar
Laboratory. These bulls showed a low degree of susceptibility
to Rinderpest.
Bareilly District.—The following statement of the suscep-
tibility of Plains cattle and buffaloes from the Bareilly District
is summarised not from animals inoculated with the object
of testing their degree of immunity, but from a number of ani-
mals used in the experiments regarding anti-Rinderpest serum
preparation by means of Plains bulls and Plains buffaloes
alone.
The Plains bulls whose weight ranged from 300 to 350lbs.,
possessed a moderate degree of susceptibility.
Their price varied from Rs. 16 to 18-6.
The buffaloes were much more susceptible than the bulls.
Their price ranged from Rs. 8-8 to Rs. 12.
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS.
Susceptibility of Hill Cattle.
(1) The cattle from the Hazara District possess a fairly
high degree of susceptibility to Rinderpest. Their susceptibi-
lity is sufficient for the requirements of a Rinderpest serum
RINDERPEST.
159
preparing Laboratory. The Superintendent, Civil Veterinary
Department, North-Western Frontier Province, states that
about 500 bulls only could be obtained each year from this
District. This number is not sufficient for the working of a
Laboratory. At Muktesar about 2,500 to 3,000 are required
each year. A site for a Laboratory is suggested at Mongal,
half-way between Abbottabad and Nowshera.
(2) The Kangra bulls are equally susceptible and suitable
for Laboratory requirements as the Hazara cattle. The Chief
Superintendent, C. V. D., Punjab, is of opinion that owners
would object to selling their cattle and that no suitable site for
a Laboratory can be found in this District.
(3) The cattle obtained from the Darjeeling District pos-
sess a very remarkable susceptibility to Rinderpest and are very
suitable for serum preparations. They are weighty bulls and
would supply a large amount of virulent blood. Their cost is
not excessive. The Superintendent, C. V. D., Bengal, supplies
information from which it would appear that a requisite
supply of cattle could be relied on, and that there are
suitable sites in that Hill district.
Susceptibility of Plains Bulls and Buffaloes.
(1) The Terai and Bhabar bulls are resistant to Rinderpest
and of no value for serum preparation.
(2) The Plains bulls from Allahabad are expensive and
difficult to obtain and are only slightly susceptible.
(3) The bulls from the Bareilly district possess a mod-
erate degree of susceptibility. A very useful serum has
been prepared from these bulls. (See serum preparation
experiments.)
(4) The buffaloes from the Bareilly District are consider-
ably more susceptible to Rinderpest than the bulls, and though
the mortality is slight, the course of the disease is fairly severe.
A very potent serum has been prepared from these buffaloes.
(See serum preparation experiments.)
