ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BURMA,
For the year ended 31st March 1913.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION.
1. Superintendents.—The
Superintendent held charge of office of Third
Superintendent during the first quarter of the year. He travelled 7,867 miles and
was absent from headquarters for 118 days.
The Second Superintendent travelled 5,758 miles and was absent on tour 121
days.
The Third Superintendent was absent on leave till the end of June and held
charge of the school from the date of his return. He was absent on tour 27 days
and travelled 2,766 miles.
As usual the Mounted Infantry Ponies of Military Police Battalions were
inspected on every possible occasion,
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
Tables I & V.
2. Veterinary
Colleges and Schools.—-The number of pupils at the Insein
School at the beginning of the year- was 38, viz., 14 in the first year, 13 in the
second year and 11 in the third year. At the final examination held in June eight
out of eleven passed. The failures were re-examined in February and two passed.
The remaining pupil has not returned ; he was subject to frequent attacks of fever.
Four men of the second year were removed in August for being generally
unsatisfactory, and amongst those of the first year 3 were removed as unsatis-
facton' and 1 for repeated disobedience of orders.
Sanction was accorded in August for the admission of 15 pupils. Of the 17
pupils who presented themselves for admission 5 resigned, leaving 12 in the class.
There were therefore at the close of the year 31 pupils, viz. first year 12,
second year 10 and third year 9.
The behaviour of the pupils was generally good.
The number of animals brought for treatment was 990; out-patients 883,
in-patients 107, The average daily attendance was 19.7.
The number of specimens sent to the Laboratory from the districts for
examination and report was 2,119.
The Public Works Department are drawing up plans for some school build-
ings. I trust that my next report will show a further advance.
II.— TREATMENT OF DISEASES.
(1) CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
Lower Burma.
Table II.
3. The season has been generally a favourable one with the exception of the
Tenasserim Division which suffered a good deal from rinderpest for some months.
Some 11,725 deaths were registered out of a total mortality of 12,615.
Anthrax.—No
serious outbreaks were recorded, the greatest number of
deaths, viz. 591, having been reported in the Thatôn District.

Foot-and-mouth disease did not cause trouble anywhere.
Veterinary Inspectors, 6.—Akyab 1, Insein 1, Moulmein 1, Prome 1, Bassein

Assistants, 60.—Arakan Division 10, Pegu Division 14, Irra-
waddy Division 24 and Tenasserim Division 12.
Special duty, 5—Arakan Division 1, Pegu Division 1 and Tenasserim Divi-
sion 3.
Upper Burma.
Table II.
4. In two districts, viz. Katha and Bharno, rinderpest gave some trouble ; the
reported mortality in the former amounted to 2,160 and 1,031 in the latter.
Neither anthrax nor foot-and-mouth disease caused any serious trouble.
Veterinary
Inspectors, 6.—Mandalay 1, Mônywa 1, Minbu 1, Katha 1,
Meiktila 1 and Yamèthin 1.
Special duty, 1.—Mandalay 1.

Special duty, 16.—Mandalay Division 9, Sagaing Division 6 and Meiktila
Division 1.
Shan States.
5. Southern Shan States.—The
Superintendent and Political Officer reports
that on the whole the health of horned cattle was good. The most unsatisfactory
feature of the year is the continued existence of infection in several places as
evidenced by small outbreaks of rinderpest in widely separated areas.
The year was remarkably free from surra among mules and ponies. Cases
met with were confined mainly to animals of the Post and Military Police contrac-
tors working on the Government road.
A continued improvement in the application of the cattle disease rules is
reported.
Veterinary Assistants.—There
are four ; all appear to have worked satisfac-
torily.
Table I.
Veterinary School, Taunggyi.—The
student reported last year as having
been kept back for further training was appointed in June to the Central Division,
Southern Shan States. Of the eight students taken on last year as already reported,
one resigned owing to ill health and one was subsequently dismissed for opium
smoking. There are thus six pupils, viz. three from the Northern and three from
the Southern States. They were examined in February by the Second Superintend-
ent and were well reported on.
Inspector Maung Tun Myah has given satisfaction.
6. Northern Shan States.—The
Superintendent reports that " No really
bad epidemic occurred in any State " during the year.
A bad outbreak of surra was reported in the Lashio valley during the rains
and some 300 ponies and mules are reported to have died from it.
Veterinary Assistants.—Two
Assistants were employed—one at Hsipaw and
the other in the South Hsenwi State. They are reported to-have worked well.
The Veterinary Inspector is also reported to have worked satisfactorily and
is said to be popular with the villagers.
The rules for the segregation of diseased cattle are said to have worked
satisfactorily in Hsipaw and South Hsenwi.
The Superintendent states that, although small outbreaks are not always
reported, the people of these two States on the whole are satisfied that the rules are
for their own welfare and that they have in some cases co-operated in carrying
them out.
Indians and itinerant caravan traders appear to be the most common
offenders.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 1913.

(2) OTHER CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
7. Surra prevailed on certain Military roads, and at Waingmaw, Sima and
Sadôn in the Myitkyina District. The disease was almost entirely amongst
Chinese owned mules ; the mortality was heavy. Chinese in such matters are not
easily dealt with. The disease was brought into Myitkyina and cases occurred
there among the Mounted Infantry ponies and transport.
Bhagwan Singh was
present during most part of the outbreak and did excellent work.
The Military Police Battalions report 14 deaths from the disease. Some
cases occurred in Bhamo and the Ruby Mines.
The Military Department had to deal with several outbreaks in Mandalay,
Shwebo, Bhamo, etc. An Inspector and two Assistants were lent for some months
to assist in suppressing outbreaks.
(3) PREVENTIVE INOCULATION.
Table III.
8. Serum injection was carried out in 13 districts, and cattle belonging to
119 villages were inoculated. Six Veterinary Inspectors and forty-four Assistants
were from time to time engaged on this duty. The total number of animals injected
amounted to 11,907. No unsatisfactory results were recorded.
(4) OTHER DISEASES.
9. The deaths reported from non-contagious diseases amounted to 63,057 in
Lower Burma and 17,050 in Upper Burma.
(5) VETERINARY HOSPITALS AND DISPENSARIES.

Table XIV.
12. The Show usually held at Bhamo in March was postponed tíll early in-
April 1913. Owing to the prevalence of rinderpest in and around Bhamo, cattle
were prohibited from being brought in.
IV.—SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT.
Table VII.
13. The strength of the Establishment at the beginning of the year was 118
Veterinary Assistants and 11 Veterinary Inspectors.
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 1918.

16. Importation of disease from China.—During the open season as is now
usual Veterinary Assistants were placed on special duty on the frontier to deal
with the caravan traffic. These men are reported to have done good work and two
outbreaks were promptly suppressed. I would point out that each year ordinarily
four men are withdrawn from the reserve or district staffs of the Province for this
special work, and in connection with the provision of an ample reserve for special
duty, leave vacancies, etc., this should be taken into consideration.
Momeik State.—The Deputy Commissioner, Ruby Mines, is of the opinion
that a Veterinary Assistant is urgently required as a permanency in the State. A
proposition statement in which this want is provided for has already been submit-
ted for Government's consideration. The cattle mortality within the boundaries
of the State was heavier than in any other part of the district Three Assistants
were lent at various periods during the year,
17. Cattle Disease Survey.—This is proceeding as quickly as possible with
the means at disposal. Disease in the last two years has been very slight but such
records as exist of disease in previous years are being carefully examined.
18. Thanks are due to all District Officers for their ready help throughout
the year. 1 should like to record my appreciation of the services of Maung Po
Win (2), Township Officer, Kanbalu, who took great personal interest in aiding the
suppression of disease in his township, and also of the services of Maung Sein
Maung, Township Officer, Tenasserim.

† There is no system of registration in force in Burma. Military Police register 14 deaths from Surra.
‡These diseases are not differentiated by villagers or headmen, but are, considered as different
