Proposals for the installation of a cold storage plant and tube wells
have not yet materialised, and the installation of electricity at this
Institute has also been postponed for the present, owing to the financial
stringency. A hay godown on the unit system was constructed depart-
mentally, and several other improvements were carried out, such as wire-
fencing round the cattle-sheds, planting of shade trees, etc.
V.—PRODUCTION.
(a) Anti-Rinderpest Serum.—59,01,886 doses of Anti-Rinderpest
serum were manufactured during the year and 23,82,298 doses of this
were transferred to Muktesar, as compared with 56,18,158 doses manufac-
tured and 51,55,052 doses transferred in the previous year. The issue of
Anti-Rinderpest serum to the field was carried out from Izatnagar,
and 19,85,110 doses were despatched during the year as compared with
11,68,200 doses in the previous year.
A pleasing feature worthy of note is the high standard of potency
of the Anti-Rinderpest serum manufactured during the winter months.
The average potency of the " L " samples of serum which are usually
passed as Class I or Class II was 84.25 per cent. against 76.12 per
cent. in the previous year.
Considerable economy was effected by the discontinuance of the
injections of a 9 salt solution during the winter months when the
manufacture was at its height, as this entailed much expenditure of time,
labour and chemicals and caused damage to the animals to an appreci-
able extent. The several tests of the sera produced after discontinuance
of these injections have given convincing proof that the potency of the
serum was not affected by the change in the technique.
(b) Anti-Haemorrhagic Septicaemia Serum.—5,14,491 doses of Anti¬
Haemorrhagic Septicaemia serum were prepared and none was trans-
MUKTESAR, FOR THE YEAR ENDING THE 31ST MARCH, 1931.
37
ferred to Muktesar, as compared with 6,17,409 doses manufactured and
4,57,200 doses transferred in the previous year. The issue of Anti¬
Haemorrhagic Septicaemia serum was undertaken from Izatnagar during
the year under report for the first time, and 3,01,243 doses were issued
to the field.
(c) Anti-Blackquarter Serum.—1,56,241 doses of Blackquarter serum
were manufactured and 1,56,000 doses transferred to Muktesar during
the year under report, against 77,686 doses manufactured and 77,466
doses transferred in the previous year.
(d) Blackquarter Aggressin.—28,34,470 c.c. of crude aggressin were
manufactured and 25,000 c.c. transferred to Muktesar during the year
under review, as compared with 25,08,236 c.c. manufactured and 5,77,500
c.c. transferred during the previous year. The issue of this product was
also undertaken during the year and 1,95,450 doses were issued to the
field from this Institute.
VI.—MEDICAL.
4,945 patients (old and new) were treated in the dispensary attached
to this Institute and the average daily number of sick was 13 6.
There were 3,615 new cases or a daily average of 9.9. Thirty minor
operations were performed during the year under report. A case of
Small-pox was detected in November 1930 and prompt measures were
taken in the form of segregation, vaccination, etc., to prevent the spread
of infection to the other members of the staff.
VII.—RESEARCH.
The following experiments and tests in collaboration with Muktesar
were undertaken during the year under report :—
(a) Rinderpest—
(1) Experiments to ascertain to what extent such factors as
the nature of the reaction, age and breed are contri-
butory to the production of a potent Anti-rinderpest
serum.
(2) Addition of preservatives at different stages of serum
manufacture for comparison with the routine method
of serum preservation.
(3) Testing of Anti-Rinderpest serum on the plains bulls of
Bareilly and adjoining districts, both by the routine
body-weight system and the Active Protoplasmic
Tissue Unit system.
(4) Manufacture of Anti-Rinderpest serum using plains bulls
of Bareilly and adjoining distriots as serum producers.
(5) Grouping of serum makers by laboratory tests.

(b) Johne's Disease.
(1) Testing the Farm animals with Avian Tuberculin to deter-
mine the presence of Jobne's disease infection.
VIII.—GENERAL.
The following officers underwent training at this Institute each for
a short period during the year under report: —
(1) Mr. Sarfraz Khan, Veterinary Assistant Surgeon, North
West Frontier Province, from 31st March 1930 to 14th
April 1930.
(2) Mr. P. N. Nanda, Assistant Superintendent, Government
Cattle Farm, Hissar, from 4th August 1930 to 7th
August 1930.
(3) Mr. Ram Lal Kaura, Hissar Cattle Farm, from 5th January
1930 to 16th January 1931.
2. The area set apart for the preparation of Blackquarter Aggressin
and Anti-Blackquarter serum was flooded during the rains and as a
result considerable damage was done to animals, apparatus, etc., which
are housed in temporary chuppers. It is hoped that when the drainage
scheme for this Institute materialises, losses due to such inundation will
be minimised.
3. Reports were received of outbreaks of Rinderpest among the
cattle people residing within the neighbourhood of the Institute.
As there was danger of the infection spreading to the healthy cattle
of the Institute, serum inoculations were undertaken with the consent
of the owners and the outbreaks promptly checked. The total quantity
of the Anti-Rinderpest serum used for these inoculations was 166 doses.
