No. 770-D.
GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR.
DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT.
RESOLUTION.
Patna, the 1st April 1941.
READ—The Annual Report of the Civil Veterinary Departmeat,
Bihar, for 1939-40.
Mr. M. I. Malik, M.R.C.V.S., held charge of the Department
throughout the year. The work connected with the (Veterinary)
Disease Investigation Scheme, which is financed jointly by the
Provincial Government and the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research, was carried out under the direct control of the Director.
Babu R. K. Ram, an officer of the Subordinate Veterinary Service,
Bihar, held the post of (Veterinary) Disease Investigation Officer
for the period from the 1st April 1939 to the 16th February 1940
when he proceeded on leave preparatory to retirement and
Mr. H. R. Kapoor, M.R.C.V.S., held the post on a temporary basis
thereafter till the end of the year. Babu P. C. Bhattacharji and
Mr. S. K. Sen, held charge of the North Bihar Range and the
Central Range respectively throughout the year. Babu M.
Agnihotri held charge of the Chota Nagpur Sub-Range from
the 1st April to the 10th December 1939 when he proceeded on
leave preparatory to retirement and was relieved by Babu D. N.
Mukharji who acted as Assistant Director for the remaining
period of the year.
2. In the Bihar Veterinary College, Mr. M. I. Malik, was
Principal in addition to his own duties as officiating Director,
Veterinary Services up to the 10th August 1939, when Mr. P. G.
Malkani was appointed to officiate as Principal in addition to
his duties as Research Officer and Professor of Pathology and
Bacteriology. 49 new students joined the College during the
year as compared with 46 of the previous session, while 77
old students returned for further studies making the total to
126 in the beginning of the session. 19 out of the new students
were from the United Provinces, who were admitted to the
College on the basis of the reciprocal arrangement subsisting with
2
the Government of that Province. The revision class for
students of class 'A' who failed to pass the annual examination
was continued during the year. The results of the annual and
diploma examinations of the College were satisfactory, though
as compared with the figures of the previous year, the percentage
of passes registered a decline. The system of tutorial classes
was introduced during the year. No post-graduate class was
held for want of accommodation. The Government note with
satisfaction the further economies effected during the year in the
running expenses of the College.
3. During the year under review the general condition of
the cattle was on the whole satisfactory. Contagious cattle
diseases like Rinderpest, Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, Foot and
Mouth disease and Bovine Surra were, however, reported from
almost all the districts of the Province. Black Quarter appear-
ed in all the districts except Purnea and Ranchi, while Anthrax
occurred in Champaran, Purnea, Palamau, Hazaribagh, Santal
Parganas, Shahabad and Gaya. There were altogether 4,430
outbreaks of different contagious livestock diseases as com-
pared with 5,524 in the preceding year, of which 4,330 were
attended to by the staff. In these outbreaks 44,224 attacks
with 18,342 deaths were recorded during the year, as against
63,574 attacks and 22,197 deaths of the previous year. During
the year the staff continued their endeavours to immunize cattle
by all the prescribed methods of inoculation and it is gratifying
to record that as many as 691,865 animals were protected,
registering an increase of 75,145 over the previous year's figure.
482,802 animals were immunized with goat tissue virus manu-
factured at the Bihar Veterinary College. The immunization
was quite successful, the mortality in immunized cattle being
only .05 per cent though this was higher than the previous year's
figure of .04 per cent. Sera and Vaccine to the value of
Rs. 61,798-10-0 were purchased.
4. Mr. M. I. Malik supervised the work of the Cattle
Breeding Farm, Patna, till the 10th August 1939, when
Dr. A. C. Chaudhuri, B.sc, PH.D. (Edin.), Professor of Hygiene,
Dietetics and Animal Breeding, Bihar Veterinary College, was
placed in charge. Babu Sunder Lall worked as Manager
up to the 28th January 1940, when his services were terminated
and Babu M. M. Banerji, Veterinary Inspector, was appointed
temporary Manager and worked as such up to the end of the year.
The strength of the herd at the Farm was 592 on 1st April 1939,
as compared with 571 on the corresponding date of the previous
year, but the milk yield registered a decline by about 25,000 lbs.
3
which was due to the outbreak once again of a virulent type of
foot and mouth disease which affected all the milch cows. The
total area of Farm land under cultivation was 318 acres;
162 bighas, 10 cottahs and 3 dhurs were leased out at a rental of
Rs. 2,005-7-3. While the receipts from the Farm showed sub-
stantial increase, viz. Rs. 70,817 against Rs. 53,565 of the
preceding year, this was almost counterbalanced by the increased
expenditure of Rs. 83,791 as against Rs. 68,901 of the preceding
year. It is, however, satisfactory to note that the deficit between
the income and expenditure is some Rs. 2,362 less than in the
previous year. The Government take this opportunity of
emphasizing the need for effecting ail possible economies in
expenditure on the Farm and express the hope that it will be
made self-supporting at no distant date.
5. The Provincial Government are pleased to note the names
of the officers commended by the Director for good work and
their thanks are also due to Mr. M. I. Malik 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.
