cultural and other authorities throughout India for a supply to the laboratory of suitable
representatives of each of the most important breeds of cattle, to be submitted at the
laboratory to a test to ascertain their susceptibility and controlled at the same time by
the infection of a number of calves containing as large an admixture of European
blood as was procurable in India. Unfortunately, pure bred European calves were not
obtainable in the country for the purposes of control, and so it was hoped that
reasonable control would be assured by the employment of calves containing the large
admixture of European blood.
The best age for testing calves is stated to be about three months, when a dose of
50 milligrams of a virulent strain of the bovine type of tubercle bacillus in the form of a
young (3 weeks old) culture grown on a solid medium is almost invariably sufficient to
overwhelm the defences of the animal and cause death within 3 months after subcutaneous
inoculation. Unfortunately, again, it was not possible to obtain calves as young as was
desired in the case of all breeds, on account of the difficulty of transporting very young
calves over long distances, and in the case of some breeds and a number of the cross¬
breds increased resistance was undoubtedly partly attributable to age. The strain of
the bovine type of tubercle bacillus employed was kindly despatched to the laboratory by
the National Institute of Type Cultures, London, after recent isolation by Dr. A.
Stanley Griffith. The following breeds and cross-breds were used :—

by the above data must be that intervention with a " polyvalent "vaccine composed of
dead " strangles streptococci" is not worth while as a system of prophylaxis against
strangles.
During the year 1924, again, vaccination was carried out at Ahmednagar on the same
lines as were adopted at Sargodha and Mona during the 1924-25 season, namely, by
vaccinating one lot of foals with dead streptococci prepared in the " ordinary " way from
several strains as described above and another lot with dead streptococci " extracted "
according to DREYER'S method for preparing so-called " diaplyte " antigens. The vac-
cinated animals were inadvertently exposed to infection, in a different way from the
" controls ;" they were artificially infected after the termination of the treatment by
smearing their nostrils with strangles pus and then transferred into the Main Depôt along
with the " controls," which had not been artificially infected. Nevertheless, results of
even greater value were obtained in regard to the relative effects of the " ordinary " and
" extracted " vaccines than if all the animals had been exposed merely to natural infec-
tion.

The results depicted in the table would show that the colts exposed to artificial infec-
tion after treatment by both the methods employed exhibited respiratory symptoms
indicative of susceptibility to a mild form of strangles to substantially the same degree.
The " extracted" product therefore seems to possess no manifest superiority over the
"ordinary" vaccine, which again, as already stated, appears to. exercise no distinct
protective action.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Imperial Institute of Veterinary Research,
Muktesar
For the year ending 31st March 1926.
I. ADMINISTRATION.
Mr. J. T. Edwards held charge of the office of Director up to the 7th
March, 1926, when he proceeded on 8 months' leave to England. From
the 8th March, 1926, up to the end of the year under report Mr. F. Ware
officiated as Director.
Mr. Edwards proceeded to Simla in June 1925 to sit on the Selection
Board appointed to select an Engineer for this Institute. He visited
Delhi in November 1925, and again in January 1926, for discussions with
Government relating to the budget of this Institute, and other matters ;
with the Director General, Indian Medical Service, regarding the tuber-
culosis inquiry ; and with the Chief Engineer, Delhi, in regard to build-
ing projects at Izatnagar. Three short visits were paid by Mr. Edwards
and one by Mr. Ware to the Branch Institute at Izatnagar. during the
year.
The posts of First and Second Veterinary Research Officers remained
vacant throughout the year.
The posts of First, Second and Third European Laboratory Assist-
ants, Upper Grade, continued to be held by Messrs. D. Keiller, G. P.
Goffi, and W. Mobbs, respectively, during the year under review.
II. PRODUCTION.
A perusal of Appendix II will show to what an unprecedented degree
the demand for the products of this Institute, particularly anti-rinderpest
serum, rose during the past year, and it was only by utilizing the
resources of the Izatnagar Branch Laboratory to the fullest extent that
it was possible to comply with the demands promptly and completely.
The sera manufactured at Izatnagar were returned to Muktesar for
storage, testing, and mixing, prior to issue to the field, and it is obvious
that if this double journey up and down the ghaut could be avoided there
would be a very great saving in time and expense.
