ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, SIND,
FOR THE YEAR 1927-1928
GENERAL ADMINISTRATION
Mr. J. H. G. Jerrom, I.V.S., held charge of the office of
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and Rajputana,
during the year under report. He inspected all the Veterinary
Dispensaries and District Local Board stallions with the exception
of the stallion at Garhi Yasin; and when possible, attended
outbreaks of contagious disease. He attended and judged at the
Jacobabad Horse and Pony show. He was on tour in Sind for 70
days and travelled 3,178 miles by rail and 626 miles by road as
against 54 days and 3,623 miles by rail and 237 miles by road in the
previous year. In addition, he remained 6 days on tour in Rajputana
and travelled 1,065 miles by rail and 86 miles by road as against 6
days and 1,098 miles by rail and 76 miles by road.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
2. There were three scholars studying at the Bombay Veterinary
College at the beginning of the year. Four new scholars were sent
to the College but one left owing to ill-health and the vacant
scholarship was awarded to one of three students who had failed in
his final examination. There were thus six scholars studying at
the College at the end of the year.
II.—TREATMENT OF DISEASE
3. Table I. During the year under report, out-breaks of con-
tagious disease were reported from every district in the Province.
The total mortality reported was 4,682 against 4,197 in the previous
year.
(i) Equine Contagious Disease
4. Glanders.—Four cases of glanders were destroyed in Upper
Sind Frontier and Sukkur districts, under the Glanders and Farcy
Act, against 9 cases last year.
5. Surra.—The disease was reported from Karachi, Hyderabad
and Upper Sind Frontier districts. Twelve animals were attacked
and were destroyed, or died. In addition, 13 animals were reported
to have died of Surra but the disease was not confirmed as no
actual cases were seen by the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons.
6. Anthrax.—One animal was reported to have died of anthrax
in the Larkana district but the disease was not confirmed as it was
reported too late to be investigated.
7. Other Contagious Diseases.—Rabies was reported from Karachi.
Four animals died or were destroyed. Strangles was reported from
all the districts with the exception of Nawabshah and Upper Sind
Frontier. Twenty-three animals were attacked and 1 died.
40
(ii) Bovine Contagious Disease
8. Rinderpest.—The disease was reported from all the districts
except Hyderabad and Thar Parkar. Two thousand, nine hundred
and eleven animals died out of 8,587 attacked in 295 outbreaks as
against 177 outbreaks, 4,986 attacks and 1,720 deaths in the
previous year. Like last year, the disease was very rife in Nawab-
shah and Sukkur districts and protective and curative measures on
an extensive scale were carried out.
9. Foot-and-Mouth Disease.—Three hundred and forty-one out-
breaks of the disease were reported from all the districts. Twelve
thousand, three hundred and thirty-one head of cattle were affected
and 223 died, as against 184 outbreaks, 7,021 attacks and 81
deaths.
10. Hæmorrhagic Septicæmia.—One hundred and three outbreaks
were reported from all districts. Seven hundred and thirty-six
animals were attacked and 688 died, as against 78 outbreaks, 869
attacks and 841 deaths last year.
11. Other contagious diseases.—Three hundred and ninety-three
head of cattle were affected with and 221 died of liver flukes.
Rabies caused the death of 2 animals. Johne's Disease broke out
among the Municipal bullocks, Karachi, and caused the death of
one animal. Forty-five cases of contagious mammitis, variola,
mange and ringworm were reported but all recovered.
(iii) Contagious disease among other animals
12. Foot-and-Mouth disease.—There were 18 outbreaks of the
disease among goats and sheep, etc., in the Karachi, Hyderabad,
Nawabshah, Larkana, Sukkur and Upper Sind Frontier districts.
Out of 1,211 affected, 69 died.
13. Contagious pleuro-pneumonia.—Three hundred and eighty
seven animals were affected and 291 died in Karachi. Thar Parkar,
Nawabshah and Larkana districts.
14. Surra.—The
disease was reported in
Hyderabad,
Nawabshah and Larkana districts. Five camels were attacked
and destroyed under the Glanders and Farcy Act. In addition 2
unconfirmed cases of the disease were reported to have died in the
Hyderabad district.
15. Rabies.—Forty-one dogs were attacked and all died or were
destroyed, in the Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur districts.
16. Anthrax.—Eleven goats and sheep were reported to have
died of anthrax in the Nawabshah district but the disease was not
confirmed as it was reported too late.
17. Other contagious diseases.—Comprised distemper, variola,
piroplasmosis, filaria, mange, liver flukes, parasitic gastritis and
contagious mammitis; 735 animals were affected and 182 died.
(iv) Preventive Inoculation
Table II.
18. In 145 outbreaks of Rinderpest, 13,460 animals were
inoculated with Anti-Rinderpest serum as
compared with 9,124 inoculations performed in
the previous year. In the course of these outbreaks, 1,585
41
uninoculated and 28 inoculated animals died. The treatment of
affected cattle with intravenous injection of iodine was carried out
with satisfactory results.
19. Two thousand, five hundred and thirty-seven animals were
inoculated with Hæmorrhagic Septicaemia Protective Serum in 18
outbreaks as compared with 3,564 inoculations performed in the
previous year. One hundred and seventy-seven uninoculated and
8 inoculated animals died.
(v) Other diseases
Table III.
20. The number of villages visited by Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons was 1,841 against 1,686 in the
previous year. During their tours, they
treated 5,747 cases for contagious and 1,878 for non-contagious
diseases and performed 1,850 castrations against 8,627 cases for
contagious and 1,363 cases for non-contagious diseases, and 668
castrations performed in the previous year. Most of the castrations
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. This is
chiefly due to the very keen interest taken in the work by
Mr. Henderson, Collector of the district.
(vi) Investigation
21. During the year under report, 121 specimens from suspici-
ous cases of glanders, surra, piroplasmosis, Hæmorrhagic
Septicæmia, mange, dourine, filariasis, fowl cholera, coccidiosis,
black quarter, etc., were submitted by the Subordinate staff to the
Superintendent, Civil Veterinary Department, Sind and Rajputana,
for examination. Of these, 54 were confirmed. In addition, 20
brains from cases of rabies were submitted to the Haffkine
Institute, Bombay.
(vii) Veterinary Dispensaries
Table IV.
22. There were 18 Veterinary Dispensaries working, the same
number as last year. The total number of
patients treated at the dispensaries was
27,323 against 26,438 in the previous year. Medicines and advice
were given to the owners of 3,827 animals which were not brought
to the dispensaries for treatment as against 3,761 in the previous
year.
The number of castrations performed at dispensaries was 442 as
compared with 268 in the previous year.
III.—BREEDING OPERATIONS
(i) Equines
Tables VI and VII.
23. There were nine District Local Board stallions at the begin-
ning of the year and one stallion, on account
of age and ill-health, was sold by the District
Local Board, Upper Sind Frontier district. There were thus 8
stallions at the close of the year. The stallions covered 476 mares
during the year as against 445 mares covered in the previous year.
Q 17—6
42
The cost of maintenance of the stallions was Rs. 6,188 of which
Government contributed Rs. 2,837-8-0. It is regrettable that, owing
to Government grant not being available, no stallions could be
purchased during the year, although some of the District Local
Boards were keen on buying additional stallions.
(ii) Fairs and Shows
Table VIII.
24. Horse Shows.—The Jacobabad Horse and Pony Show was
held, as usual, in January. Four hundred
and sixty-six horses competed for prizes and
Rs. 2,175 and one silver medal were awarded. Government
contributed Rs. 1,450 towards the Show.
IV.—SUBORDINATE ESTABLISHMENT
25. There were 21 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and 2 Inspec-
tors as in the previous year. Of the 21 Veterinary Assistant
Surgeons, 18 are in charge of veterinary dispensaries, and 3 on reserve
duty. Of the 18 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons in charge of dispen-
saries, 1 is a District Local Board servant. As pointed out in the last
year's report, the number of Veterinary Assistant Surgeons is inade-
quate for the large tract of country they have to cover in attending
outbreaks of contagious disease and great difficulty is sometimes
experienced when extensive outbreaks of contagious disease appear
simultaneously. Proposals were "submitted to Government for the
opening of 10 new dispensaries and although 5 were approved, it
was not found possible to allot funds for the purpose. It is, there-
fore, again recommended that the requisite provision be made in
the budget estimates for 1929-30.
26. The Veterinary Inspector, Upper Sind Circle, was on tour
for 157 days and travelled 3,276 miles by rail and 799 miles by road.
The Veterinary Inspector, Lower Sind Circle, was 140 days on
tour and travelled 5,011 miles by rail and 740 miles by road.
Both the Veterinary Inspectors, in addition to inspection of
dispensaries every quarter, did good work in the district both in
attending outbreaks of disease and in checking the work of
Veterinary Assistant Surgeons.
On the whole the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons worked well
during the year under report and the following deserve special
mention:—
Mr. Abdul Majid, Mr. W. K. Abasi, Mr. J. R. Banna, Mr. S. A.
Gulrajani.
The clerical staff carried out their duties satisfactorily. An
additional clerk has been sanctioned by Government but final
orders are awaited.
V.—EXPENDITURE OF THE DEPARTMENT
Table V.
27. The expenditure of the Department was Rs. 1,60,190 as
against Rs. 1,84,546 in the previous year.
43
VI.—GENERAL REMARKS
28. The reporting of contagious disease still leaves great room
for improvement and it is hoped the system will gradually improve,
as defaulting tapedars are suitably dealt with and begin to under-
stand their responsibility in this connection.
29. The port of Karachi has, with effect from 1st March 1928,
been opened for the importation of animals from overseas and rules
for enquines have been approved and published.
30. At the request of the Agricultural Adviser to the Government
of India, the following programme of work for the next year is
included in the Annual Report:—
The energies of the Department will, as usual, be directed
towards the application of modern scientific methods of treatment
of disease, both curative and prophylactic.
