Annual Report on the Civil Veterinary Department,
United Provinces, 1923 24.
1. The administration repor on the department for the year ending
he 31st March, 1924, is herewith submitted.
2. Major E. W. Oliver was on leave throughout the year.
8. I officiated for him and held the charge of the department during
he year,
4. Captain W. H. Priston officiated as 2nd Superintendent through-
jut the year.
5. Khan Sahib Sheikh Niaz Mohammad, 1st Deputy Superintendent,

of the office of the 3rd Deputy Superintendent, from the 8th April to the
16th June, 1923, while Pandit Tek Chand, officiating 3rd Deputy Super-
intendent, was on leave.
6. Tours of officers :—I was on tour for 122 days and travelled 9,836
miles by rail and 464 miles by road. I visited 26 districts, inspecting the
veterinary hospitals and dispensaries and stallion stands of my circle as
well as those of the 2nd and 3rd Superintendents. My presence was re-
quired at Kichha to inspect a Government elephant, and at the Rampur
State to diagnose diseases amongst the State elephants which were reported
to be suffering from some obscure ailments. The stallion dépôt at Morad-
abad required my frequent attendance during the year. When possible,
the offices of the subordinate officers were inspected and the work
of vetarinary inspectors and touring veterinary assistants was supervised
and checked. 1 appeared before the Royal Commission at Allahabad to
give evidence and attended the Agricultural Conference at Bangalore
during the month of January, 1924.
7. Captain W. H. Priston was on tour for 115 days and travelled 5,985
miles by rail and 867 miles by road. He inspected all the dispensaries and
stallion stands of his circle as also the work of the touring veterinary assist-
ant surgeons and attended the cattle fairs and .shows held at Batesar (Agra),
Etawah, Saharanpur, Achalda (Etawah), and Mainpuri.
S. Khan Sahib Sheikh Niaz Mohammad was on tour for 110 days
and travelled 5,270 miles by rail and 1,704 miles by road. He inspected
all the hospitals and dispensaries and stallion stands of his circle and
checked the work of itinerating veterinary assistant surgeons in the dis-
tricts of Allahabad, Partabgarh, Bara Bmki, Benares, Mirzapur, Azamgarh,
Conda, Bahraich, and Basti and also verified the number of inoculations
performed by these men. He also personally attended the outbreaks of
cattle diseases in the districts of Basti, Allahabad, and Azungarh. While
tearing in the districts of his circle he interviewed the chairmen of different
district boards and other gentlemen likely to be interested in the welfare
of animals and discussed different important subjects in connection there-
with. He personally attended the Fyzabad district board meeting held in
the month of October, 1923. He visited Dadri fair (Ballia)and the veteri-
nary show at Partabgarh held in connection with the Baby show.

vious year. The figures compiled from the reports received from
waris through district officers cannot be fully relied upon, as the system
ery defective. Action is being taken to introduce a better system by
ch reports of outbreaks can be promptly attended to.

iroplasmosis, horse-pox, influenza, rabies and many diseases caused by
iternal and external parasites have been met with, but up to the present

cable to introduce a reliable system for obtaining returns.
BOVINE.
22. Rinderpest.—It is gratifying to notice that during the year under
eport there has been a considerable decrease in the number of mortality
rom this disease. The total number of deaths reported during the year
was 2,703 as against 7,266 last year. It assumed a somewhat virulent
form in the districts of Dehra Dun, Meerut, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Muttra,
Pilibhit, Cawnpore, Hamirpur, Ballia, Gorakupur, and Azaingarh where
outbreaks were promptly attended to and all necessary steps taken to
uppress the disease either by inoculation or segregation. Where the
listrict veterinary staff was considered insufficient to cope with the disease,
he headquarters veterinary staff were deputed and rendered considerable
assistance. Inoculations were carried out in 36 districts.
See Table III.
23. Foot and mouth disease.—During the year under report the
province has suffered less severely than usual from this scourge. The
reported losses from the disease were 1,161, the mortality being chiefly
confined to young stock and old and weak animals.
Apart from the losses by death from this disease, it causes much incon-
venience to agriculturists, specially during harvest and ploughing seasons.

thousand six hundred and fifty-seven cattle were inoculated.
See Table III.
25. Black quarter.—There is a satisfactory decline in the prevalen
this disease this year. It appeared in nine districts and 109 deaths only
been reported. In those places where the disease appears to recur per
cally, vaccination was resorted to as a preventive measure and 200 ant

among cattle during the year as compared with 824 reported in the prei
year.

cattle are reported as having died from other contagious diseases w
includes pleuro-pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc.

deaths amongst other animals.
PREVENTIVE INOCULATION.
See Table III.

breaks 3,879 uninocalated and 45 inoculated animals are reported to he
died.

against haemorrhagic septicaemia by the serum alone method in
outbreaks.
31. In one outbreak of anthrax 6S cattle were protected by serum.
32. Two hundred head of cattle were protected by vaccination agan
black quarter in one outbreak.
33. A sum of Rs. 20,213-10-0 was paid to the Imperial Bacteriologis
Muktesar, on account of the cost of serum supplied to the province dun
the year.
34. There is a reduction in the number of inoculations performed t
year. This is due to the fact that the cattle diseases were not so prevale
as in the previous year.
See Table IV,
