GENERAL
DEPARTMENT.
Office of the Commissioner in Sind,
Government House, Karachi, 18th July 1928.
Subject.—Annual Administration Report of the Civil Veterinary
Department, Sind, for the year 1927-28.
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 1927-28.
Charge.
2. The charge of the office of the Superintendent was held by
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom throughout the year
under report.
Mortality statistics.
3. The total mortality from contagious diseases increased from
4,197 in the previous year to 4,682 in the
year under report and was due mainly to the
outbreaks of rinderpest in the Upper Sind Frontier district and its
prevalence in a severe form in the districts of Sukkur and
Nawabshah.
Inoculations.
4. Preventive inoculations against rinderpest were carried out
in the case of 145 outbreaks, the number of
animals inoculated being 13,460 against 9,124
inoculated in 105 outbreaks during the previous year. The number
of inoculations against hæmorrhagic septicæmia was 2,537.
Dispensaries.
5. The number of dispensaries working in the Province, viz. 18,
remained unchanged. Proposals for the
opening of 10 new dispensaries were submit-
ted to Government and although provision for 5 of them was made
in the preliminary budget estimates for 1928-29 it was, owing to
financial stringency, subsequently omitted entirely.
Professional work.
6. The aggregate number of cases treated at the several
dispensaries rose from 26,438 in the previous
year to 27,323 during the year under report,
and the number of animals treated on tour also increased from
4,990 in the previous year to 7,125 during the year under report,
inspite of the fact that the monthly touring of Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons has been curtailed owing to insufficient allotment for
Travelling Allowance. The number of castrations performed rose
from 668 to 1,850, most of which were performed with the
Burdizzo Castrator. Out of the 1,850 castrations 1,468 were
performed in the Thar Parkar district alone where the Burdizzo
method has become very popular owing to the very keen interest
taken in the matter by Mr. Henderson, the Collector of the
district.
Q17-8
54
Veterinary Instruction.
7. There were three stipendiary students studying at the
Bombay Veterinary College at the begin-
ning of the year. Four more scholars were
sent to the College during the year under report. Of the three
scholars at the College at the beginning of the year one failed in
the examination and his scholarship was stopped. Of the four
scholars sent up during the year one left owing to ill-health and
the scholarship vacated by him was awarded to a Sindhi student
already studying in the final year class. There were thus 6
scholars at the end of the year.
Breeding operations.
8. Out of the 9 District Local Board stallions at the beginning
of the year, one was sold owing to old age
and ill-health, thus leaving 8 at the close of
the year. 476 mares were covered during the year as against 445
in the previous year. The aggregate cost of the maintenance of
stallions was Rs. 6,188 of which Government contributed
Rs. 2,837-8-0.
Financial.
9. The total expenditure of the Department amounted to
Rs. 1,60,190 as against Rs. 1,81,515 in the
previous year.
General Remarks.
10. It is regrettable that owing to financial stringency it was
not found possible to provide funds for the
opening of new dispensaries and purchase of
additional stallions. These are objects on which the District
Local Boards have for the last two years been showing considerable
keenness. The construction of a lazaretto at Karachi is another
item of urgency and although plans and estimates have been
sanctioned and the land acquired, funds have not yet been made
available. It is hoped that Government will be pleased to provide
funds as early as possible.
11. The Port of Karachi was opened for the import of live-stock
from 1st March 1928.
12. The Commissioner commends the efficient and tactful
administration of the department by Mr. Jerrom.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
K. HEWLETT,
Indian Veterinary Service,
Principal, Bombay Veterinary College.
Q 30—1
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
BOMBAY VETERINARY COLLEGE
FOR THE YEAR 1928-29
Mr. K. Hewlett, the Principal of the College, held charge up to
20th of June when he proceeded on leave, Mr. V. R. Phadke, the
Acting Assistant Principal, taking over from that date. Mr. Phadke
continued to act up to 22nd of December when Mr. Hewlett
returned from leave. Mr. M. Mohey Deen, Assistant Professor,
acted as Assistant Principal during the period Mr. Phadke acted as
Principal. Mr. J. M. C. Rebello, Deputy Superintendent of the
Bombay City and Harbour, Veterinary Department, was appointed
to act as Assistant Professor in the arrangement consequent upon
Mr. Hewlett proceeding on leave. Khan Saheb Shaikh Ahmed,
Mr. Miranda and Mr. Nair continued to hold charge of their
appointments throughout the year.
2. The Students.—There were 98 students' names on the rolls
on 1st of April 1928. The Annual Professional Examinations were
held in April. Of these 98 students all appeared for the
examinations and 67 passed successfully. Of the successful
students 19 having passed the Final Examination left the College.
Twenty-two students were promoted to class C from class B
and 26 promoted to class B from class A. In addition to the above
four students from class C and four students from class B were eligible
and appeared for the Supplementary Examination held in October.
The 4 from class C passed and left the College and the 4 from class
B passed and were promoted to class C. Four students discon-
tinued the course after having failed and three were unable to
continue on account of family circumstances.
3. In June 1928, 43 new students were admitted to class A, 1 to
class B and 2 old students were re-admitted to class C. There
were thus 118 students on the rolls at the commencement of the
1st Session.
4. Of the 44 new students admitted, 27 were natives of the
Bombay Presidency. One of Baroda, 9 of the Central Provinces, 1 of
Mysore, 1 of Central India and 5 of Ceylon. Of the new students
one had passed the First Year's Arts Examination and 23 the
Matriculation or S.L.C. Examination. The remaining students
passed the College Entrance Test or were otherwise eligible for
admission. The new students classified according to caste were
22 Brahmins, 4 Marathas, 1 Rajput, 4 other Hindus, 6 Mahomedans,
3 Indian Christians and 4 Singhalese.
5. The results of the Annual and Supplementary Examinations
held during the year were as follows :—
In the final year or class C, 30 students appeared and 23 passed.
In class B 35 appeared and 26 passed and in class A 41 appeared
4
and 26 passed. The percentages therefore this year for the three
classes were 76.66, 74.28, 63.41, respectively as against 64.29,
77.27 and 75.61 last year and on the total 70.75 as against 72.53.
6. Of the 118 students on the rolls at the commencement of the
1st Session (June) ten students discontinued the course on account of
ill health and family circumstances and 4 left the College having
passed the Sppplementary Final Examination. There were thus
104 students names on the rolls at the end of the year as against
98 at the commencement.
7. There were five scholarships vacant at the commencement of
the Collegiate year, viz., 4 for youths from the Presidency proper
and 1 for youths from Sind. These vacancies were due to the
scholars having graduated in April. The Principal awarded four
scholarships to students from the Presidency proper. The Com-
missioner in Sind did not send any scholar. There were in all 14
scholars from the Presidency proper (including 10 already studying
at the College) and 5 from Sind.
The Central Provinces Government continued stipends to 11
scholars already studying at the College and sent 6 more scholars.
Baroda state continued stipends to two scholars already in the College
and sent one more scholar. Gwalior state continued stipends to two
scholars already in the College. Kolhapur and Barwani states each
sent one scholar. The states of Jamkhandi and Miraj and the
Deccan Maratha Education Association continued stipends to their
scholars. There were thus 46 students in receipt of some assistance
from scholarships and 58 without such assistance at the end of
the year.
8. The Students' Hostel.—The College Hostel was fully occupied.
All arrangements regarding the Hostel were satisfactorily carried
out by Mr. Miranda.
9. The Students' Gymkhana.—Football, Hockey, Tennis and
Cricket were played as usual and matches against outside teams
were arranged as in previous years. Athletic sports were held
as usual.
10. Riding Class, Drill, etc.—The Final year students went
through the usual course of equitation at His Excellency the
Governor's Body Guard's Riding School at Mahalaxmi and other
students were put through a course of physical drill by Staff-
Sergeant Farrier Burt, the Instructor of Shoeing.
