GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT
OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT IN INDIA
FOR THE OFFICIAL YEAR
1902-03.
PART I.-IMPERIAL REPORT.
I—HORSE-BREEDING.
Number of stallions
on the Register.
A reference to Table I will show that there were 346 horse stallions on
the strength of the Register at the beginning of the year. 43 were added and
40 removed from the strength; leaving a balance of 349 on the 31st March
1903.
Of the 43 received by importation from England and purchase in India,
my remarks will be found recorded under paragraphs 8 to 13 of this Report.
Of the 40 removed from the Register, 32 died, were destroyed or sold, and
the remaining 8 were transferred to the Army Remount Department to meet
the requirements of stallion power for the mares of the Jhelum Canal Colony.
2. The strength of pony stallions in the Bombay Presidency stood at 18;
the same as last year.
Ages of stallions.
3. Table II shows that of the 349 stallions remaining at the end of the
year, 168 were up to 10 years of age, 148 over 10 years and up to 15 years, and
33 over 15 years old.
Number of stallions.
at work.
4. The number of horse stallions actually employed at stud work during
the year was, as will be found recorded in Table V, 272.32 against 280 27 in
the previous year. The remainder were either unacclimatized or ineffective
from sickness or other causes.
Cost of feed and
keep.
5. A reference to Table IX will show that the general average cost of feed
and keep of stallions was slightly in excess of the figures of the previous year;
being Rs. 348-15-0 against Rs. 339-12-8 in the year 1901-02. This small
increase of about Rs. 9 per stallion in the year, may be accepted as satisfac-
tory when it is considered that great scarcity prevailed in some of the horse-
breeding centres.
Number and classes
of stallions import-
ed and purchased.
6. The number and classes of stallions received either by importation
from England or purchase in India, is detailed below :—

American donkeys.—They are, without exception, the best batch I have
ever seen imported into India, and reflect the greatest credit on the care and
judgment exercised by the purchasing Officer (Major C. Gough) in their selec-
tion. The best of this batch was transferred to the Hissar Farm to be utilised
in the donkey-breeding scheme which has been established there.
Chinese donkey.—This donkey was fair; rather light in bone and too high
on the leg.
Punjabi —These were purchased by me at the Rawalpindi Fair and bred
by zemindars in the district. They were powerful, straight backed animals, and
in every way superior to the Italians and Cyprians imported during the year.
The following average measurements speak for themselves:—

Casualties.
33. A reference to Table III will show that during the year under report
13 donkey stallions died and 6 were destroyed; giving a percentage of 2.71 of
deaths and 1.25 of those destroyed, against 2.82 and 4.13, respectively, in the
previous year. Particulars as to causes of death and destruction will be found
recorded in Table III (a).
Sales.
34. Table IV gives detailed particulars of 5 donkey stallions sold during
the year. It will be observed that of this number, 4 were sold to Native States
for mule-breeding purposes, and 1 was disposed of as unfit for stud work, as he
refused to serve either pony or donkey mares after repeated trials.
Supply of donkey
stallions
35. The number of donkey stallions indented for, and sanctioned by the
Government of India, was as follows:—
By importation—For mule-breeding . . . . . . .
For donkey-breeding . . . . . .
By purchase in India—For mule breeding . . . . . .
TOTAL .

Of this number, 36 were received by importation up to the 31st March 1903;
and 20 arrived in June 1903 which were taken over and will be accounted
for by the Army Remount Department, leaving a balance of 19 short supplied.
Of the 10 sanctioned to be purchased in India, only 3 of mature age could be
secured, showing a deficit of 7 under this head, or a total of 26 on the num-
ber indented for.
Number of mares
covered by donkey
stallions.
Average coverings
per stallion em-
ployed.
36. In point of actual number of mares served by donkey stallions, there is
a satisfactory increase, viz., 24,300 pony mares and 1,894 donkey mares, against
24,097 and 1,793 respectively, in the previous year. But as there were more
donkey stallions actually employed during the year under report than in
1901-02, there is a slight decrease in the average number of mares covered per
stallion, as noted below:—
Pony mares . . . . . . . .
Donkey mares . . . . . . . .
62.8 against 63.5

„ 56.0
37. There is a marked increase in the results of the previous year's cover- Produce-
ings. Table VII shows:—

303 donkey foals, against . . . . . . .

The average results per donkey stallion employed at stud, being mules 12.8
and donkey stock 9.4; against 11.91 and 9.5 respectively, in the previous
year.

Mules purchased.
38. There is a decided falling off in the total number of mules purchased
for Government purposes; the number being 818 against 1,421 in the previous
year. The number secured by the Army Remount Department shows a satis-
factory increase, 606 having been purchased against 210 in the previous year;
but those bought by the Supply and Transport Corps and by Native Cavalry
Regiments for transport purposes, fell from 1,211 in 1901-02 to only 212 in
the year under report.
III—HORSE FAIRS AND SHOWS.
UNITED PROVINCES.
Horse Fairs and
Shows.
39. Table XIII is an abstract of particulars regarding Horse Fairs and
Shows held during the year 1902-03. In the United Provinces, six Fairs
and Shows were held against 5 in the previous year. The number of animals
competing was 1,793 against 1,509; and the number of remounts bought by
the Army Remount Department and Native Cavalry Regiments was 237
against 266. A very satisfactory increase in the number of mules purchased
is shown, 32 having been secured against only one last year.
PUNJAB.
40. In North and South Punjab, 15 Shows were held against 11 in the
previous year. The number of animals competing for prizes was 4,072
against 2,749. Remounts purchased amounted to 579 as compared with 517
in 1901-02; but the number of mules that changed hands fell from 2,445 in
the previous year to 2,029 in the year under report.
NORTH-WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE.
41. This province was created by the separation of certain districts from the
Punjab. There was only one Show held, at which the number competing for
prizes amounted to 512 against 247; the latter figure having been included
last year under the head "Punjab." Only 2 Native Cavalry remounts were
secured at this Show, and no mules were purchased.
BALUCHISTAN.
42. Two Shows were held in Baluchistan. Competition was not so keen
as in the previous year, the total number having fallen from 1,539 to 1,054,
but a larger number of remounts were bought; the figures being 254 against
203 in the previous year. Six mules were also secured for Government purposes.
SIND.
43. Three Shows—the same number as last year—were held; but the num-
ber of competitors fell from 2,239 to 1,360. A very satisfactory increase will,
however, be observed in the number of remounts purchased, 221 having been
secured against 147 in the year before. 38 mules were also obtained.
BENGAL.
44. No particulars have been furnished of the Horse Fairs held in the
Bengal Presidency.
BOMBAY.
45. Only one Horse Show was held. The number competing for prizes
was 347 against 383 in the previous year. Only 2 remounts were secured by
the Remount Department against 7 last year. No mules were obtained.

47. The very incomplete manner in which these statistics are rendered,
leads me to imagine that no proper method exists of recording the results, and
the accuracy of the number of mares covered is also open to doubt. Under
these circumstances it would be misleading to draw comparisons on the returns
of previous years, or to attempt an explanation as to the causes of any differ-
ence in figures.
IV.-INSTRUCTION FARM.
United Provinces.
48 Tables XV and XVII show the working of the 2 Instruction Farms
attached to this Department. At the one in the United Provinces, there were
10 brood mares at the beginning of the year, 1 was purchased and 1 sold dur-
ing the year, leaving a balance of 10. One colt and 4 head of mule stock were
foaled during the year; these added to the 3 foals at the beginning of the
year, made a total of 8; of which, 1 died and 4 were sold, leaving a balance
of 3.
49. The Balance Sheet of cultivation operations, shows a small but satis-
factory saving or profit of Rs. 176-11-1.
Punjab
50. At the commencement of the year there were 7 mares on the Farm;
of which, 1 was destroyed, 1 sold, and 5 transferred to the Hissar Cattle Farm.
There were 4 foals dropped during the year, of which 2 died, leaving a balance
of 2 on the books of the Farm.
51. The results of cultivation operations are satisfactory, showing a profit
of Rs. 707-5-0.
52. These Farms, however, no longer exist. The Army Remount Depart-
ment having intimated that it would not take over the Instruction Farms, the
animals were transferred to the Hissar Cattle Farm, and the establishment
discharged. But these changes were effected after 1st April 1903, and will
be alluded to in the next Annual Report.
