Review on the Annual Report of the Punjab
Veterinary College, Civil Veterinary Department,
Punjab, and the Government Cattle Farm, Hissar,
for the year 1927-28.
General.—The problems of animal husbandry and
nutrition are very properly engaging the increasing
attention of the Department, which is recognizing
that the first need is to breed and rear healthy
animals, and then to prevent and cure disease. In
the Punjab the average acreage under crops is
about 27 million acres, and the number of cattle
and buffaloes maintained is over 15 millions. The
percentage of live stock to the total population of
the Province is about 73. It has been calculated
by the Royal Commission on Agriculture that there is
in the Punjab about 62 acres of grazing land to every
100 acres sown, and out of this area 56 head of cattle
have to be supported including 19 buffaloes. Without
going into comparison with other countries, the grazing
area is manifestly insufficient. Investigations now being
made under the auspices of the Board of Economic En-
quiry indicate that the cost of maintenance of a pair of
bullocks comes to about Rs. 150. To cultivate 100
acres 8 pairs of bullocks at the most are needed. The
number of cattle in the Province is excessive, and if the
condition of cattle is to be improved, the number should
be reduced and should bear some relation to the food
stuffs available. Now that a whole-time Live Stock
Officer has been appointed, the Ministry is of opinion
that an enquiry should be made by him in typical vil-
lages selected in every district of the Province with a
view to ascertain the existing number of cattle, the fod-
der and food-stuffs available and the extent to which
over-stocking prevails. Such an enquiry may, it is
hoped, lead to the release of food for human consumption
by eliminating an element in present-day cropping,
which only inadequately maintains the over-load of
stock. Another line of enquiry that could be profitably
undertaken by the Live Stock Officer would be to have
the nutritive value of grasses in these selected areas
examined, and to make arrangements to promote the
storage of grasses, leaves, etc., by ensilage. Prolific crops
like berseem for fodder purposes also need encourage-
ment in areas and under conditions which are suitable
for their cultivation.
