scrapings, fæces and morbid material, etc., from cases of Surra, Piroplasmosis,
Anthrax, Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia, Mange, Coccidiosis, Strangles, etc., were
received from the subordinate staff and examined. 460 of these were found
positive. Last year the specimens examined were 480 with 247 positive for
various organisms.
46. A brief summary of work done by the Veterinary Investigation
Officer, Sind, is given below :—
(1) Contagious pleuro pneumonia in goats.—With the help of the District
staff 7,217 goats were vaccinated with formalised lung emulsion and the
average mortality among the vaccinated goats was 1.32 per cent.
(2) Sheep-pox.—This
disease was reported from Nawabshah district and
was controlled with vaccine obtained from Mysore Serum Institute, Bangalore.
(3) Wah.—Transmission
experiments were conducted and the results so
far obtained tend to indicate that by further investigation with the collaboration
of the Imperial Veterinary Research Institute, Mukteswar, its etiological
factor would be discovered.
(4) Pitto or Gillar.—Investigation has been continued. The data so far
collected point to the conclusion that the condition appears to be parasitic one
probably due to immature amphistoms whose presence has been invariably
detected.
(5) Contagious abortion.—Blood Sera from a number of animals were
tested from goats and sheep but the tests showed negative result.
(6) Investigation has been carried out into the incidence of contagious
abortion and Encephalomylitis and interesting data had been obtained.
The Veterinary Investigation Officer also dealt with certain Poultry
diseases and adopted necessary control measures.
(vii) VETERINARY HOSPITALS AND DISPENSARIES.
47. Table III.—There were 32 Veterinary Dispensaries working at the
beginning of the year and 3 more were opened during the year thus bringing
the total to 35 hospitals and dispensaries on 31st March 1943. Of these 2 are
in charge of Salutris and are entirely maintained by the District Local Board,
Thar Parkar, and a third one also in charge of a Salutri but aided by Govern-
ment grant. 7 are Itinerating Veterinary Dispensaries entirely maintained by
Government and 25 are grant-in-aid Veterinary Dispensaries.
The number of In and Out-patients treated at these institutions was
47,499 as against 43,572 in the previous year. Medicines and advice were
given to owners of 11,994 animals which were not brought to the dispensaries
as compared with 9,099 cases in the previous year. The number of castrations
performed was 5,517 as against 5,250 in the previous year.
