EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
RESOLUTION.
Patna, the 21st February 1938.
READ—
The annual report of the Civil Veterinary Department, Bihar,
for 1936-37.
ON account of the separation of Orissa from the rest
of the province with effect from the 1st April 1936, a sub-
range was started from that date with the three Chota Nagpur
districts of Ranchi, Singhbhum and Manbhum which previously
formed a part of the Orissa Range. The sub-range was placed
under the charge of an Assistant Director with headquarters
at Ranchi. Later in the year, another district, viz., Palamau
was added and after the close of the year the district of Hazari-
bagh was also transferred to it thereby bringing the entire
Chota Nagpur Division under the sub-range. For the purpose
of the Veterinary Department, Bihar is now divided into two
major ranges and one sub-range, viz., North Bihar Range,
South Bihar Range and Chota Nagpur Sub-Range.
2. Major P. B. Riley, i.v.s., held charge of the depart-
ment throughout the year. He also held charge of the Central
Range in addition to his own duties for one month during the
absence, on leave, of the Range Officer, Mr. S. K. Sen. Deputy
Director Mr. M. I. Malik held charge of the North Bihar
Range, and Babu P. C. Bhattacharji, Assistant Director, of
the Chota Nagpur Sub-Range, throughout the year.
3. This was a bad year for live-stock. The total number
of outbreaks of different contagious diseases during the year
was 3,289 as compared with 3,264 in the previous year and
the number of animals affected was 40,675 against 57,070,
but the number of deaths was as high as 18,632 against 7,923
in 1935-36. The figure of deaths is in addition to the 464
deaths recorded under " equines ". Thus for practically the
2
same number of outbreaks the number of deaths has increased
by more than ten thousand. The large increase in deaths was
due to the greater virulence of the attacks of rinderpest and
hæmorrhagic septicæmia No case of Glanders, Farcy or
Dourine was reported and there was only one death from equine
anthrax and two from tetanus.
4. There were serious outbreaks of rinderpest during the
year which caused considerable loss to cultivators in Ranchi
and Palamau. In all there were 1,532 outbreaks of this
disease, in which 16,849 animals were affected against 1,127
outbreaks and 12,092 attacks during 1935-36. The number of
recorded deaths increased from 5,639 to 7,918. Of the total
number of deaths, 5,152 were of cattle and 2,766 of buffaloes.
Like rinderpest, hæmorrhagic septicæmia was found through-
out the province and was particularly virulent in the Central
Range causing high mortalities among cattle and buffaloes in
Patna and Gaya. Reports of diseases by village chaukidars
and other agencies continued to be satisfactory. In all 771
outbreaks of hæmorrhagic septicæmia were reported, and out
of 4,476 animals attacked, 3,372 succumbed to the disease, as
compared with 384 outbreaks, 2,179 attacks and 1,612 deaths
recorded in the year 1935-36. Darbhanga and Purnea suffered
badly from the effects of foot and mouth disease, but it is
gratifying to note that only 100 deaths were recorded during
the year out of a total number of 16,238 animals attacked in
720 outbreaks, as compared with 71 deaths, 41,546 attacks and
1,602 outbreaks in the previous year.
5. During the year under report as many as 504,219
animals were protected from disease as against 477,764 in
1935-36. The increase is satisfactory. The percentage of
deaths of the protected animals was .08 compared with .04 of
the previous year. One hundred and ninety-six equines were
protected with anthrax serum and anthrax " spore " vaccine
from Burma. Protection against rinderpest was given to
77,261 and 348,087 animals by the " serum alone " method
and the goat tissue virus method, respectively, against 73,244
and 260,965, respectively, in the previous year. This is satis-
factory considering the limited number of officers employed on
this work. Protection was also given against hæmorrhagic
septicæmia, anthrax and blackquarter. On the transfer of
the serum depot at Cuttack to Orissa, a new serum depot to
serve the Chota Nagpur Sub-Range area was opened and
attached to the sub-range office at Ranchi.

6. In response to the appeal made by His Excellency the
Viceroy, Government have drawn up the outlines of a scheme
for the improvement of cattle in Bihar. But on account of
the all-India campaign for improved cattle breeding, difficulty
was experienced in securing an adequate supply of approved
bulls. A scheme for intensive cattle breeding in selected areas
is under the consideration of Government. In the meantime,
the work of castrating scrub bulls as an aid to improvement
of cattle continued to be done by the Veterinary Department.
104,998 bulls and bull calves were castrated during the year
in addition to 206 animals under the head " equines " and
6,236 under "others". The total number of stud bulls at
the end of the year was 31, all of which were the property of
the local bodies. The number includes one bull presented by
Mrs. Swanzy to the Patna district board.
7. The strength of the herd at the Patna cattle breeding
and dairy farm was 652 against 613 on the 1st April 1936,
but the total milk yield was 401,973 lbs. as against 431,008 lbs.
during 1935-36. The decrease was due to the fact that the
number of cows in milk was 99 against 112 during the previous
year. The total quantity of milk sold was also 346,487 lbs.
against 400,582 lbs. in the year 1935-36. This was
mainly due to the reduced demand of the Patna General
Hospital during the summer vacation when no other arrange-
ment could be made for the disposal of surplus milk. 140
bighas of the farm land were leased out for a year at a rental
of Rs. 1,982, but Rs. 779 only could be realised during the
year. The revenue of the farm fell from Rs. 63,378 to
Rs. 62,503, while the expenditure increased from Rs. 53,519
to Rs. 53,920. Government trust that adequate steps will
be taken to improve the financial working of the farm.
8. In the Bihar Veterinary College the contract of one
of the professors was not renewed and another professor left
the college on being appointed Vice-Principal of the Bengal
Veterinary College. Mr. R. T. Davis, i.v.s., Principal and
Professor of Medicine, has since been granted leave prepara-
tory to retirement and Major P. B. Riley has been officiating
as Principal in addition to his own duties as Director,
Veterinary Services, pending the appointment of a whole-
time Principal. During the year, 29 new students joined the
college as compared with 36 of the previous session, but the
total number of students at the end of the session was 73 as
against 64 in 1935-36, the number of Bihari students being 26
as against 22 in the previous year. The examination results
4
Were satisfactory. The post-graduate training class was
reopened with a short course for three months.
9. Government are pleased to note the names of the offi-
cers commended by the Director for good work and their
thanks are due to Major Riley for the efficient administration
of the department.
ORDER.—Ordered that the resolution be published in the
Bihar Gazette and a copy of it together with a copy of the
report be submitted to the Government of India.
By order of the Governor of Bihar,

Secretary to Government.
