outbreaks, 3,742 un-inoculated animals and 229 inoculated animals
died. For the first time in Sind, 257 head of cattle were protected
against the same disease by the Serum Simultaneous method. Of
these 165 were inoculated in the Hala taluka of Hyderabad (Sind)
district, 83 in Sujawal taluka of Karachi district and 9 animals of
Auxiliary Agricultural Farm at Oderolal in the Hyderabad
district. Six deaths occurred. It is possible that these animals were
infected at the time of inoculation. These inoculations were
carried out by Mr. Haji, Veterinary Inspector, Lower Sind,
Mr. Ansari, Veterinary Assistant Surgeon, Hala, and Mr. Moham-
mad Baksh, Veterinary Assistant Surgeon, Sujawal.
20. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia Serum inoculation was undertaken
in 11 outbreaks and 1,420 animals were inoculated. Of these
3 died while 144 un-inoculated animals died during the course
of the disease.
21. Black-quarter.—In one outbreak, 267 animals were protected
with Black-quarter Serum and Aggressin and in three outbreaks
310 were protected with Black-quarter aggressin. There were
no deaths among these animals.
(v) Other diseases.
22. Table III.—The number of villages visited by Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons was 2,291 as against 1,520 in the previous year.
During their tours they treated 6,070 cases for contagious diseases,
504 cases for non-contagious diseases and performed 388 castrations
as compared with 3,135 cases treated for contagious, 577 cases for
non-contagious diseases and 435 castrations performed in the
previous year. Most of the castrations were performed with the
Burdizzo Castrator.
(vi) Investigation.
23. During the year under report, 248 specimens from suspicious
cases of Surra, Anthrax, Black-quarter, Piroplasmosis, Hæmorrhagic
Septicæmia, Mange, Liver Fluke, etc., were submitted by the
subordinate staff to the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Depart-
ment, Sind and Rajputana, for examination and confirmation. Of
these 129 were confirmed. In addition 20 brains from cases of
rabies were submitted to the Haffkine Institute, Bombay, of which
12 were confirmed.
(vii) Veterinary Hospitals and Dispensaries.
24. Table IV.—There were 18 Veterinary Dispensaries working,
the same number as last year. The total number of patients
treated at the dispensaries was 26,185 against 25,836 in the
previous year. Medicines and advice were given to the owners
of 2,859 animals which were not brought to the dispensaries for
treatment as against 3,102 animals in the previous year. The
number of castrations performed at dispensaries was 1,928 as
compared with 1,633 in the previous year.
38
III—BREEDING
OPERATIONS.
(i) Equities.
25. Tables VI and VII —There were six District Local Board
stallions at the beginning of the year. Two were handed over to
zamindars as the District Local Boards, owing to financial strin-
gency, were unable to maintain them. There were thus 4 stallions
at the close of the year. The stallions covered 175 mares during
the year as compared with 212 mares covered in the previous year.
The cost of maintenance of the stallions was Rs. 2,804 out of which
Government contributed Rs. 1,469.
(ii) Fairs and Shows.
26. Horse and Pony Shows.—On account of financial stringency
the Jacobabad horse and pony show was not held this year.
IV—SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT.
27. There were 22 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and two
Veterinary Inspectors at the beginning of the year. One Veteri-
nary Assistant Surgeon was deputed to Muktesar and his post was
kept vacant. There were thus 21 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
and 2 Veterinary Inspectors at the close of the year. Of these 18
were in charge of Veterinary Dispensaries and 3 on reserve duty.
It has become very difficult to carry on the work of the Department
with the present inadequate staff and although the necessity of
opening more dispensaries and of appointing additional staff has
been recognized by Government, it is impossible to do so owing to
financial stringency.
28. The Veterinary Inspector, Upper Sind Circle, was on tour
for 61 days and travelled 1,220 miles by rail and 244 miles by road.
He was deputed to attend outbreaks of rinderpest in Lower Sind.
The Veterinary Inspector, Lower Sind, was 102 days on tour and
travelled 1,578 miles by rail and 452 miles by road. He attended
several outbreaks of contagious disease. The touring of Veterinary
Inspectors had to be considerably curtailed owing to insufficient
budget allotment. Both the Veterinary Inspectors did creditable
work during the year.
29. The clerical staff as usual carried out their duties satisfac-
torily.
V—EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
30. The expenditure of the department was Rs. 1,31,383 as
compared with 1,38,438 in the previous year.
VI—GENERAL REMARKS.
31. The reporting of contagious disease, as remarked in the
previous reports, still leaves great room for improvement and
Tapedars have not yet realized the importance of prompt reporting
of disease among animals.
39
32. Owing to financial stringency, touring by Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons for the purpose of castration and treatment of
ordinary diseases had to be stopped.
33. Eighty-seven horses were landed at the Port of Karachi. Of
these 52 horses belonged to the Military Department, 1 came from
Egypt, 13 from Persian Gulf and 21 from England.
34. At the request of the Agricultural Adviser to the Govern-
ment of India, the following programme of work for the next year
is included in the annual report.
The energies of the department will be directed towards the
investigation of certain diseases and application of modern methods
of treatment, both curative and prophylactic.

GENERAL DEPARTMENT.
Office of the Commissioner in Sind,
Government House, Karachi, 23rd July 1932.
Subject.—Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, for the year 1931-32.
Memorandum.
The Commissioner in Sind has the honour to submit the report
of the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and
Rajputana, on the working of the Veterinary Department during
the year 1931-32.
Charge.
2. Mr. Jerrom held charge of the Office of the Superintendent
throughout the year under report.
Mortality statistics.
3. The total mortality reported among cattle from contagious
diseases rose from 13,375 in the previous
year to 29,347 in the year under report. The
abnormal increase is exclusively contributed by Rinderpest among
bovine cattle (there were 53,782 cases and 27,130 deaths as against
28,109 cases and 10,455 deaths last year) which though prevalent
in all the districts of the Province assumed the form of an epidemic
in the three districts of Karachi, Hyderabad and Thar Parkar.
The figures for three districts for the three years of 1929-30 to
1931-32 are as under:—

This appears to call for concerted efforts to combat the epidemic
and the Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, should see
that special attention is paid to the adoption of measures to prevent
the spread of the disease to other districts of the Province. The
other principal diseases were responsible for the following
numbers:—
Surra (Horse) ...
Hæmorrhagic Septicæ-
mia.
Foot and mouth disease
(bovine).
Parasitic Gastritic ...

Inoculations.
4. Preventive inoculations against Rinderpest were carried out
in the case of 212 outbreaks, the number of
animals inoculated being 14,737 against
9,163 inoculated in 103 outbreaks during the
previous year. The number of inoculations against hæmorrhagic
48
Septicæmia was 1,420 and of those against black quarter, with
black quarter serum and aggressin 267, and with black quarter
aggressin 310.
Dispensaries.
5. The number of dispensaries remained unchanged.
An
increase in the number of dispensaries is
undoubtedly desirable but no advance can be
made on account of financial stringency.
Professional work.
6. The aggregate number of cases treated at the several dispen-
saries rose from 25,836 to 26,185 during the
year under report, and the number treated
on tour rose from 3,712 to 6,574.
Veterinary Instruction.
7. There were six scholars studying at the Bombay Veterinary
College at the beginning of the year. Three
scholars failed in the annual examinations
and their scholarships were discontinued.
There were thus three scholars studying at the end of the year.
Breeding operations.
8. Out of the six District Local Board Stallions at the beginning
of the year, two were handed over to Zamin-
dars as the District Local Boards, owing to
financial stringency, were unable to maintain
them. There were thus four stallions at the end of the year.
One hundred and seventy-five mares were covered during the year
as against 212 in the previous year. The aggregate cost of the
maintenance of the stallions was Rs. 2,804 of which Government
contributed Rs. 1,469.
Financial.
9. The total expenditure of the Department amounted to
Rs. 1,31,383 as against 1,38,438 in the
previous year.
General.
10. As usual the Department worked well and continues
to derive great benefit from Mr. Jerrom's
tact and skill and his prolonged experience
of Sind.
