VI.—GENERAL REMARKS.
34. There has been no improvement in reporting of outbreaks
so far as Tapedars are concerned. The monthly tours of Veterinary
Assistant Surgeons were continued as far as funds and circumstances
permitted and much good work was done, especially in bringing to
light outbreaks of disease which otherwise would never have been
39
reported. The amount of work performed, however, is very limited,
and if the services of the Department are to be made available for
all live stock owners, more dispensaries and a larger staff for touring
and propaganda work are necessary.
35. A scheme for the expansion of the department has been
submitted to Government.
36. 69 horses, 1 bull and 53 sheep and goats were landed from
overseas at the Port of Karachi, during the year under report,
37. The Goat Virus Producing Station commenced the
preparation of Vaccine in January 1936, and issued 13 ampoules
up to the end of the year. The cost of the Station was Rs. 2,968.
