Other Diseases.
Table III.
18. During the year 5,423 villages were visited by the Subordi-
nate staff against 5,367 in the previous
year. During these visits, 16,802 cases
were treated for contagious diseases and 12,139 for non-contagious
diseases.
There was a very considerable reduction in the number of cases
treated for contagious diseases when compared with the previous
year due to the fact that foot and mouth disease was not so preva-
lent during the year under report.
Twelve thousand, three hundred and sixty animals were castrated
on tour against 9,152 in the previous year.
Investigation.
19. Three hundred and four specimens were sent to the Bombay
Veterinary College for examination and 197 post-mortem examina-
tions were conducted for diagnostic purposes. Sixty post-mortem exa-
minations were conducted for medico legal purposes and in 13 cases
poison was detected by the Chemical Analyser to Government.
The brains of 36 dogs suspected to have died of rabies were sub-
mitted for microscopical examination and the disease was confirmed
in 21 cases.
Veterinary Dispensaries.
Table IV.
20. There were 105 hospitals and dispensaries excluding that
maintained in the Dangs during the
fair season, at the beginning of the
year. It was intended to open three more during the course of the
year, but for financial reasons this was not possible, and the
number therefore remained the same to the end of the year.
There was some increase in the number of in and out-patients
treated, the number being 1,12,471 against 1,59,335 in the
previous year. Medicines were supplied for home treatment in
43,317 cases, this number being 5,031 less than in the previous
year.
Twenty-four thousand four hundred and eighty-one castrations
were performed at head-quarters, this being an increase of 5,350
over 1929-30.
Five hundred and eighty cases were sent to infirmaries under the
Act for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals against 853 last year.
As usual, a Veterinary Assistant Surgeon was deputed to the
Dangs for a period of seven months. During this period he visited
213 villages and travelled 654 miles by road. Seven outbreaks of
Rinderpest were reported, but preventive inoculation was refused.
He protected 1,543 head of cattle against Black-quarter by inocula-
tion with aggressin. He treated 22 cases for contagious diseases
and 61 for non-contagious diseases and supplied medicine to
29 cases.
23
21. Buildings.—The District Local Board, West Khandesh,
completed the main building of the Veterinary dispensary at
Shirpur and this was occupied before the end of the year.
The District Local Board, East Khandesh, had under reconstruc-
tion, buildings for the Veterinary dispensary at Erandol and these
should soon be ready for occupation.
The District Local Board, Kaira, are altering a building purchased
for the Veterinary dispensary at Kapadvanj.
The Veterinary Assistant Surgeon's quarters at Pandharpur are
being dismantled and rebuilt on a new site. This was necessitated
by the subsidence of the foundations and consequent cracking of the
walls.
III--HORSE BREEDING OPERATIONS.
22. The District Local Board, Ahmednagar, continued to main-
tain three stallions, two of which are stationed at Ahmednagar
and 1 at Rahuri. They covered, all told only 79 mares this year as
against 95 last year. The average cost of maintenance per stallion
was Rs. 628.
IV—SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT.
23. Three additional Veterinary Assistant Surgeons were
appointed during the year, bringing the total sanctioned strength
of the Subordinate establishment to 5 Veterinary Inspectors and
123 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons. One Veterinary Assistant
Surgeon was acting as Veterinary Inspector so there were actually
5 Veterinary Inspectors and 122 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
working at the end of the year.
The Veterinary Inspectors travelled 10,721 miles by road, 22,497
miles by rail and 43 miles by sea. During the course of their
tours, they, in addition to their usual inspections of Veterinary
dispensaries, visited 385 villages and attended 186 outbreaks of
disease.
Generally speaking the staff worked well. The names of the
following officers are brought to the particular notice of Govern-
ment for good work. Veterinary Inspector V. N. Kulkarni,
Veterinary Inspector P. V. Nagarsheth, Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons U. G. Shaikh, M. C. Patted, G. S. Balekundri, D. B.
Sapre, D. R. Marathe and K. H. Dwivedi.
The clerical staff continued to work well.
V—EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
24. The expenditure of the Department amounted to
Rs. 4,74,062-8-0 of which Rs. 3,56,776-12-0* was met from Provin-
cial Revenues and Rs. 1,17,285-12-0 from funds of Local Boards and
Municipalities.
* Subject to final adjustment,

VI—GENERAL REMARKS.
25. Rinderpest continued to spread in the Presidency and to
cause heavy losses. In previous reports I have stated that report-
ing of outbreaks had considerably improved but in Ahmedabad
district this year disease gained a very strong foothold before it was
reported properly and the mortality was consequently very heavy.
There were signs of a general improvement in the situation so far
as Rinderpest was concerned, all over the Presidency towards the
end of the year.
The thanks of the Department are due to those officers of the
Revenue Department who willingly gave assistance to the Staff in
carrying out their duties in the villages.
Programme of work for the year 1931-32.
The energies of the Department will be directed towards the
investigation of certain diseases and application of modern methods
of treatment.
E. S. FARBROTHER,
Superintendent,
Civil Veterinary Department,
Bombay Presidency.
