REVENUE DEPARTMENT.
Karachi, 22nd October 1936.
Forwarded with compliments with reference to letter, Revenue
Department, No. P-52/13976-A, dated the 28th August 1936, from
the Government of Bombay.
2. Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom, I.V.S., held charge of the office of the
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and Rajputana,
throughout the year under report.
Mortality statistics.
3. The total mortality reported among cattle from contagious
diseases rose from 5,423 in the previous year
to 5,590 in the year under report. The
increase is small and calls for no remarks.
Dispensaries.
4. The number of dispensaries during the year under report
was the same as in the previous year. The
number of in and out-patients, however,
increased from 27,402 in the previous year
to 28,127 in the year under report. In addition to this, medicines
and advice were given in 3,698 cases which were not brought to
the dispensaries for treatment, as against 3,349 in the previous
year. This testifies to the fact that the Veterinary dispensaries
are growing popular in Sind.
5. Another notable feature of the year was the establishment
by Government of a Rinderpest Goat Virus Producing Station at
Karachi. Work at the station was commenced in January 1936,
with Mr. Haji as Officer in Charge of the Station.
Horse Show.
6. The District Local Board, Upper Sind Frontier, successfully
organized the Horse and Pony Show at
Jacobabad during the year under report.
Unlike the past year, financial aid was given
by Government to the extent of Rs. 500. The number of entries
was 208 as against 266 in the previous year.
Breeding operations.
7. The number of stallions at the close of the year was 3 with
the District Local Board, Upper Sind
Frontier. 181 mares were covered in the
year under report as against 195 in the
previous year.
Financial.
8. The total expenditure on the department was Rs. 1,13,720
in the year under report. Of this amount
Rs. 79,840 was met from the Provincial
Revenues, the remainder being met from
the Local Fund revenues.

General.
9. As usual the department has worked efficiently.
The
Revenue Commissioner views with satisfac-
tion the testimony of the Director, Veterinary
Services, Sind, regarding the good work
done by the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons, especially in bringing
to light outbreaks of disease which otherwise might have escaped
notice.
In conclusion the Revenue Commissioner expresses his satisfac-
tion at the growing popularity of the department which is largely
due to the zeal and efficient supervision of Mr. Jerrom.

I.––VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
3. Mr. V. R. Phadke, G.B.V.C., J.P., held charge of his
appointment as Principal of the College during the whole of
the year under report. Mr. K. B. Nair, Assistant Professor, who
returned from the Continent, after long leave, for about 15 months,
resumed his duties from the 1st of December 1936 and continued
in his appointment for the rest of the year. The remainder of the
staff remained unchanged and continued throughout the year with
the exception of Mr. K. B. S. Aiyar, the Lecturer, who was
deputed to undergo a Post Graduate Refresher course at Muktesar
for a period of about three months.
4. The Students.—There were 103 students' names on the rolls
on the 1st of April 1936. The Annual Professional examinations
were held in April. One hundred students appeared of whom
55 passed successfully. Of these, 11 who passed the Final Year
(Diploma) examination, left the College and 13 discontinued the
course on having failed or for other reasons. The remaining
79 students remained under instruction.
5. In June 1936, 38 new students were admitted to Class A, and
1 to Class B. There were thus 118 students on the rolls at the
commencement of the first term. Of these, 4 left subsequently
during the course of the year, 3 for reason of health and 1 on
account of financial difficulties. One student left on passing the
Supplementary Final Year (Diploma) examination held in October.
There were thus 113 students at the College at the end of the year
as against 103 at the commencement.
Of the 39 new students admitted, 31 were natives of the Bombay
Presidency, 2 from Sind, 1 from the Central India, 4 from
Rajputana and one from Federated Malay States. One had
passed the B.Ag. examination, 1 the Inter Science, 18 First Year
Arts, 1 Senior Cambridge and 18 Matriculation or the School

The supplementary examination of students, who failed in one
subject at the Annual Examinations, was held in October 1936.
One student from Class C, 6 from Class B and 3 from Class A
appeared and all passed with the exception of one in Class B and
1 in Class A.
7. Scholarships.—Of the 9 Government scholarships attached
to the College 5 were vacant at the commencement of the year.
Of these one was awarded to a student in Class B and 3 to new
students in Class A. One scholarship was withdrawn from
a student since he failed at the supplementary examination in
October. There were, therefore, in all 7 Government scholars
studying in the College.
The Sind Government sent 2 new scholars and continued
stipend to 1 scholar already in the College. The Central
Provinces Government continued stipends to the 15 scholars
already in the College. The States of Kolhapur, Udaipur, Devas
and Mysore, each continued stipends to their scholars. The Kotah
State sent 4 new scholars and the Rewa State sent 1.
Thus out of the 113 students, 34 held stipends and 79 were
private students.
8. Clinical Instruction.—This was carried out as usual at the
Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals. Four thousand
six hundred and ninety three animals were treated at this Hospital
during the year as against 4,284 last year. Of these 2,182 were
in-patients. Of the in-patients, 409 were Equines, 433 Bovines and
1,340 Canines. The average daily attendance was 68. Fifty-two
dogs received anti-rabic treatment.
9. The Laboratory.—The work in the Laboratory consisted in
giving instruction to the Final year students and in the examina-
tion of specimens received from the districts. During the
year 2,190 specimens including blood smears, pus, fæces, scrapings,
etc. were received and diagnosis was confirmed in 522 cases as

Research.—During the year under report further experiments in
connection with the goat virus (blood) were taken up. In a series
of experiments, blood virus was found to be quite viable upto the
19th day when stored in refrigerator (45° F) but the reactions were
found to be proportionately delayed.
In one of the experiments, oral administration of 5 c.c. of fresh
blood virus proved abortive and the goats, on immunity test,
reacted satisfactorily. This showed that the oral administration of
blood virus failed to produce infection in goats.
5
In two experiments during cold season, blood virus diluted with
equal quantity of normal saline solution and kept at room tempera-
ture between (80°-85°F.) up to 6 days, was found to be infective in
goats in 0.5 c.c. dose of the mixture. This diluted blood virus is
proposed to be issued in the districts for testing and if it gives good
reactions, it would result in a great saving in that the output would
be doubled.
10. Employment of Graduates.—All students belonging to
the Bombay Presidency, who passed out from the College this year
found employment immediately. There is a great demand for the
Graduates in Government and in Native States but there are none
at present available.
11. The College Buildings.—The ordinary current repairs to the
buildings were carried out as usual and special repairs to the post
mortem room was carried out at a cost of Rs. 356.
12. General.—The hostel was quite full. The accommodation
was found to be inadequate owing to the increased number of
students in the College. The average number occupying the hostel
during the year was 76 as against 72 last year. The health of the
students remained excellent throughout the year. The gymkhana is
popular and has been found most useful and although under
supervision, the students are allowed a free hand in administering
it. Athletic sports were held as usual.
Local excursions were made to places of interest from an
instructional point of view. Excursions to outside places were
suspended as a measure of retrenchment. However it is hoped that
these will be revived when the financial conditions of Government
improve. The Riding class could not be held this year as no
students were forthcoming to pay the fees.
Goat Virus Production.—This work was continued on a larger
scale. Requisitions for 2,95,730 doses of blood virus were received
and the same number was produced and supplied to different places
in the Presidency. It will be seen from this figure that the volume
of work demands the entertainment of additional staff. The expen-
diture amounted to Rs. 6,447. Out of this Rs. 441 were realised
from the sale proceeds of used goats.
Extra Duties.—The Principal conducted the examination of
Farriers. Ten candidates were examined and 6 passed. They
were granted the necessary certificates.
The special feature of the year was that the College completed
the fiftieth year of its existence and as a mark of appreciation the
past and present students celebrated its Golden Jubilee on the 30th
of December last. His Excellency the Right Honourable Lord
Brabourne, G.C.I.E., M.C., graced the occasion with his presence.
The Ninth All-India Veterinary Conference was also held this year
at the College at that time with Mr. F. Ware, F.R.C.V.S., the
Director, Imperial Veterinary Research Institute, Muktesar, as
President. Nearly 200 Graduates from all parts of India attended
the Conference and the Golden Jubilee Celebrations.
