ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE CIVIL
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BOMBAY PROVINCE,
FOR THE YEAR 1940-41.
I.ADMINISTRATION.
I continued to hold charge of the post of Director throughout the
year under report. I was on tour for 117 days and travelled 10,651
miles by rail and 2,638 miles by road. During the course of my
tours I visited 15 districts, inspected the Bombay Veterinary
College, the office of the Veterinary Inspector, Central Range and
51 Veterinary hospitals and dispensaries. I also inspected and
selected sites and buildings for 7 dispensaries, visited the Northcote
Cattle Breeding Farm, the dairy of the Rawalgaon Sugar Factory
near Malegaon, District Nasik, the Nandurbar Pinjrapole and the
Yeravda Stud Farm. I inspected cattle dipping and spraying
operations at Turkewadi, Benkatti, Devgiri, Kumbhari and Halkar.
I opened one more dipping tank at Tandulwadi in Walva Taluka
of Satara district and also a veterinary dispensary started by
Nandgaon Municipality. I held meetings of Veterinary Inspectors
and Veterinary Assistant Surgeons at which rural development
problems were discussed and attended the meeting of the Rural
Development Board at Ahmedabad.
I presided over the Board of Examiners appointed to conduct
the annual examinations at the Bombay Veterinary College and
conducted the supplementary examinations held in June and
October and attended the meetings of the Advisory Board of the
Imperial Council of Agricultural Research at Simla and Delhi and
also the meeting of the Animal Husbandry Wing of the Board of
Agriculture in India held at the Imperial Veterinary Research
Institute, Izatnagar in November.
At headquarters I attended the meetings of the Provincial
Agricultural Research Committee, the Provincial Fodder and
Grazing Committee and the co-ordination meetings, held biennially,
of the Heads of the Agricultural and Veterinary Departments and
in Bombay was invited to attend a meeting of the Bombay-
Sind Public Services Commission for the selection of a candidate
for the post of Deputy Superintendent, Bombay City and Harbour
Veterinary Department.
2. Mr. C. N. Desai held the post of Deputy Director and
Personal Assistant to the Director, with the exception of a period of
18 days from 15th May during which he was on leave, throughout
the year. During his absence on leave, I carried out his duties in
addition to my own.
RP Bk Qa 3—1

Mr. Desai was on tour for 38 days, travelled 2,906 miles by rail
and 511 miles by road. He visited 6 districts, inspected 23
dispensaries and visited 14 villages. He attended the meeting of
District Officers held by the Collector of Poona and conducted
classes for rural development workers. In connection with the
control of a wide-spread outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in
Khed taluka and Ambegaon petha, Poona District, he visited that
area and attended the Agricultural exhibition held at Vora Samni in
Broach district.
II. VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
3. Staff.—Mr. M. Mohey Deen, M.R.C.V.S., held the post of
Principal throughout the year. Mr. K. R. S. Aiyer, G.B.V.C.
Assistant Professor, was deputed to Mukteshwar for practical
training in Pathology from 12th November and Mr. D. B. Khole,
Hospital Surgeon, officiated for him and Mr. S. J. Khambete,
Junior Veterinary Inspector in the Bombay City and Harbour
Veterinary Department, was appointed to officiate as Hospital
Surgeon. Mr. M. K. Garudachar, G.B.V.C., lecturer, was appointed
to officiate as Veterinary Investigation Officer with effect from the
22nd January 1941 and Mr. G. H. Joshi, G.B.V.C, Veterinary
Assistant Surgeon, Bandra, was appointed to officiate as lecturer.
4. Two new posts were sanctioned from the beginning of the
Collegiate year viz. a Bacteriologist and a part-time lecturer in
physiology. Mr. R. N. Naik, G.B.V.C., was appointed to the
former and Dr. V. B. Desai to the latter.
5. The Course of study.—A revised course of study was
introduced from this year and the minimum qualification required
of candidates for admission to the College raised from Matriculation
to Intermediate Science (B Group). The new curriculum is that
recommended in 1934 by the Government of India. Some modifica-
tions in the existing buildings have had to be made and additional
equipment purchased so that efficient practical instruction can be
given in certain subjects.
6. The Students.—On 1st April 1940 there were 138 students on
the College roll. Of these 23 left after having passed the final
(diploma) examination and 4 discontinued the course after failing
in their examinations or for other reasons. In June 10 new
students were admitted making a total of 121 students at the
beginning of the term. Five passed the final supplementary
examination and three others left subsequently owing to their
inaptitude for the course. There were, therefore, 113 students on
the roll at the end of the year, a reduction of 25.
7. Of the 10 new students admitted, two were natives of
Bombay Province, one was from H. E. H. the Nizam's Dominions,
two from Mysore State, two from Travancore, one from Indore, one
from Kashmir aud one from Assam. The latter left the College
during the first session. One student had passed the B.Sc.
examination and nine the intermediate science examination.

held in April as usual and the results were as follows :—

9. The Board of Examiners considered that these results were
satisfactory.
10. The supplementary examinations for students of Class A and
B, who had failed in one subject only at the annual examination
was held in the first week of June. This was an innovation
resulting from a modification of the examination rules. At this
examination 13 students from Class A and 8 from Class B were
examined and 10 of the former and 5 of the latter passed. The
supplementary examination for class C was held in October and of
the 6 students appearing 5 passed.
11. Scholarships.–Of the 15 Government scholarships attached
to the College, 6 were vacant. One scholar after graduating in
April, left the College and one scholarship was withdrawn as the
holder failed to pass his examination. Only one new scholarship
was awarded during the year.
12. The Government of Sind continued stipends to 9 scholars
already studying in the College but sent no new ones. Kotah State
and H. E. H. the Nizam's Government, and Jodhpur, Bikaner,
Mangrol, Jawhar and Kolhapur States and the Federated Malay
States continued stipends to their scholars and Gwalior State
awarded stipends to State scholars already attending the College.
Kashmir, Hyderabad and Indore States each sent one new scholar
Thus of the 113 students attending the College, 33 were stipend
holders and 80 were private students.
13. Clinical Instruction.—This was, as usual, carried out at the
Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals adjoining the
College. During the year under report 7,085 animals were treated
as against 7,258 in the previous year. Of these 2,786 viz. 478
equines, 642 bovines and 1,666 canines, were treated as inpatients.
The average daily attendance of patients of all classes was 94.
Twenty-four dogs were subjected to anti-rabic treatment.
4
14. The Laboratory.—The laboratory was used for the examina-
tion of material sent for diagnostic purposes and for teaching.
Students received both practical and theoretical instruction in
parasitology and in laboratory technique. Two thousand six
hundred and eighteen specimens were received for examination and
947 were confirmed. The specimens are classified as follows :—

Anaplasma marginale was demonstrated for the first time in this
province and its identification was confirmed by the Imperial
Veterinary Research Institute. B. Equi was also demonstrated for
the first time in the past ten years.
15. Riding Classes and Excursions.—Riding classes were re-
started this year. They were held at His Excellency the Governor's
Body Guard lines and 40 students attended. Local excursions to
places of interest were made for instructional purposes.
16. The College Hostel and Gymkhana.—The hostel was
practically fully occupied during both terms. The general health
of the students was good and there was no epidemic or serious
case of illness. The College Medical Officer attended whenever
necessary. The conduct of the students was satisfactory.
17. The usual indoor and outdoor games were provided by the
Gymkhana and the athletic sport were held as usual.
18. Employment of Graduates.—It is a matter of satisfaction
that practically all the graduates who passed out during the year
have since obtained employment.
19. College Buildings.—The ordinary current repairs to the
College buildings were carried out by the Public Works Department.
Special repairs to the post-mortem rooms and two residential
quarters were undertaken and some new minor works such as the
installation of electric lighting in the College rooms and quarters,
provision of a water tap and sink in the anatomical section and
pharmacy, etc., were carried out during the year.
20. Goat Virus Production.—This work was placed under the
Bacteriologist from the date of his appointment. Two lakhs
eleven thousand one hundred and seventy-seven doses were
produced as against 179,740 doses produced last year. The number
of goats used for this purpose was 284. The sale proceeds of virus
despatched to States was Rs. 3,425-4-0 and from used goats Rs. 300
Recovery of postal and other charges amounted to Rs- 183-11-0 and
the total expenditure on production was Rs. 6,638-0-1.
21. Extra Duties.—In addition to his normal duties, the
Principal and one Assistant Professor acted as members of the
Board of Examiners. The Principal also examined animals and
animal products intended for export and issued 17 certificates in
that connection. A sum of Rs. 255 was realised and credited to
Government.
III. SCHEMES SUBSIDISED WHOLLY OR IN PART BY THE
IMPERIAL COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH.
22. (a) Investigation of Disease.—The period of the appointment
of the Veterinary Investigation Officer was extended by one year
up to 31st March 1941. Mr. R. N. Naik, G.B.V.C., held the post
up to 15th June 1940 from which date he assumed his new duties
as Bacteriologist at the Bombay Veterinary College. As however
no one had been appointed to relieve him he retained charge of the
7
office of Veterinary Investigation Officer in addition to his own
duties up to 23rd January 1941 when he was relieved by
Mr. Garudachar.
As the post was more or less vacant during the greater part of
the year the approved programme could not be followed to any
great extent. Some work was done on contagious bovine abortion
and in connection with investigations into the incidence of this
disease, we were glad of the visit of the Research Officer on
Contagious Abortion at the Imperial Veterinary Research
Institute.
Work in connection with the control of Nasalgranuloma carried
out in the previous year in a village in Dharwar District was
checked up. It was found that although the disease had not been
eradicated considerable improvement had been effected. This work
is continuing.
An experiment was conducted, in consultation with the Director,
Imperial Veterinary Research Institute, Mukteshwar, on the
preparation of a Foot and Mouth disease vaccine.
A full report of the activities of this Officer has been forwarded
to the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research and to
Government.
(b) Tick Control Scheme.—Three dipping tanks and two spraying
machines were working at the beginning of the year and one tank
was opened during the year. One spraying machine was transferred
from Hosakuli in Honavar Taluka, as it was not being taken
advantage of there, to Halkar, a village near Kumtha. Here the
people are fairly enthusiastic and the machine has been well
patronised with considerable advantage to the local cattle. At the
other plants, work proceeded normally. One more tank remains to
be opened under this scheme.
(c) Poultry Diseases.—Sanction was accorded to this scheme
during the year and an officer was selected and deputed to the
Imperial Veterinary Research Institute for training.
