DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
BIHAR AND ORISSA.
No. 5817/1R-28of 1918
FROM
G. MILNE, ESQ., I.C.S.,
DIRECTOR OF AGRICULTURE, BIHAR AND ORISSA,
To
THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
BIHAR AND ORISSA,
REVENUE DEPARTMENT.
Dated Ranchi, the 12th July 1918.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to submit the Annual Report of the Civil Veteri-
nary Department, Bihar and and Orissa, for the year 1917-18. The two principal
subjects of interest (1) the reorganization of the Veterinary Department and
(2) the Inoculation scheme have been dealt with in the course of correspon-
dence with Government.
A map showing the areas in the province where outbreaks of cattle-
diseases occurred in 1917-18 is a new feature of the Report. It is instructive as
visualising the omnipresence of cattle-disease throughout the province. I have
no other comment or criticism to make on the report. Mr. Quinlan continued
to exercise efficient control and supervision over the Department single-handed.
The Inspector and Veterinary Assistants are reported to have worked satisfac-
torily. The Officer Commanding A. S. O. Euphratis Defences highly com-
mended the work done in Mesopotamia by the Veterinary Assistant Babu
K. C. Chatterji deputed to the Military Department from this Province.
I have the honour to be,
SIR,
Your most obedient servant,
G. MILNE,
Director of Agriculture,
Bihar and Orissa.

PAET II.
TREATMENT OF DISEASE.
The reporting of disease by the police shows continued improvement in
most districts, except those of the Tirhut Division, and is due to the constant
attention paid to this part of their duties by the subordinate officers of the
Department.
Altogether 4,923 reports of outbreaks of contagious diseases were submitted
during the year against 4,513 in 1916-17 and 3,527 in 1915-16. This shows
a slow but steady rise. Although the staff had not appreciably expanded
during the year, 2,397 outbreaks were attended or 547 more than in 1916-17.
118,994 animals were reported to have been affected against 81,350 in 1916-17,
the increase being due mainly to foot and mouth disease, which was responsible
for 77,895 seizures. The number of deaths was 21,754 as compared with 26,107
in the preceding year.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting outbreaks attended in
many districts owing to continuous heavy rains, floods and bad roads, the
absence on deputation to other districts of many of the Veterinary Assistants,
and the number who were on leave from one cause or another. When the
staff has been increased to such an extent that a reserve will be available,
better results will be shown. I do not, however, expect that this will be
possible until 1920 from which date about twelve graduates will be taken into
the Department annually.
EQUINES.
Glanders.—No outbreaks of this disease were reported.
Surra.—Two deaths from this disease occurred in Gaya, two in Hazari-
ba^h and one in Angul. It was diagnosed microscopically.
Other contagious diseases.—Six deaths were recorded under this head, but
no details are available.
BOVINES.
Rinderpest.—Rinderpest was reported from all districts except Saran and
Darbhanga. Although not so virulent as in the previous year, it caused con-
siderable losses in Cuttack, Ranchi, Palamau, Gaya and Monghyr. In Gumla
Sub-division, the outbreak appeared about the beginning of the rains and did
not subside until the end of November. It was attended by several assistants.
4
Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—The
total number of inoculations performed
against this disease was 41,811 including 11,524 done by the inoculators in
Ranchi and Pokhuria. The number immunized by the departmental staff
was 30,287 which shows an increase of 9,561 inoculations over the figures of
the previous year. 42 deaths occurred among the inoculated animals showing
a death rate of 0.1 per cent only.
Anthrax.—Inoculations
were carried out in nine districts, where 1,729
cattle were protected against 1,759 in the same number of districts during
1916-17. One animal died.
Black-quarter.—1,313
animals were inoculated under this head in four
districts against 210 in 1916-17, which shows an increase of 903 inoculations.
Three deat is occurred after inoculation.
The figures for each district are shown in Table III.
RANCHI INOCULATION SCHEME.
Prom the 1st of May, the work was carried on by 14 inoculators instead
of 23 employed in the previous year. They are in charge of one inspector with
his headquarters at Gumla. At the request of Government, a report on the
work of the reduced staff was submitted in February in which recommendations
have been made for continuance of the scheme for another live years or until
such time as sufficient number of Assistants are available to take over this work.
The inoculators of Karra and Gobindpur left the service to join the Labour
Corps in France. The post at Karra was filled but the other remained vacant.
There were therefore 13 inoculators on the 31st of March last.
Altogether 23,241 cattle were inoculated, out of which 11,524 were
immunized against Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia and 11,717 against Rinderpest
as compared with 20,688 and 8,982 respectively of the previous year. The
increase of 2,735 inoculations in the case of Rinderpest is satisfactory, while
the total decrease of 6,429 may be attributed to the reduction in staff and to the
general reluctance of the people to accept the help of the inoculators.
Details of the work done during the year will be found in Table III(a).
Twenty-eight thousand doses of vaccine and 44,000 doses of anti-rinder-
pest serum were issused from the Ranchi Serum Depot for the use of the
inoculators. The cost of the scheme is given in Table XIV(a).
SUPPLY OF SERUM AND VACCINE.
Since September 1st, 1917, all biological products issued from the Muk-
to ar Laboratory have been charged for. The table given below shows the
amount of sera and vaccines dealt with by the department during the year :—

by years. As increasing difficulty is being experienced by District Officers in
supervising the work of the subordinate staff it will be necessary in the near
future to take over complete control of the Veterinary Assistants if efficiency
is to be maintained. This will involve a further increase in office staff and
diminish touring and inspections by the Superintendent.
