Description
This Official government publication presents the annual report on the operations, finances, and developments of the Veterinary Department within the Federation of Nigeria for the 1952–53 fiscal year. The document outlines the strategic administration of livestock health across Nigeria's Northern, Eastern, and Western regions. The report highlights the economic vitalization of Nigeria's livestock trade, estimated at over £20,000,000 annually, alongside critical disease control programs. Major efforts focused on suppressing rinderpest, controlling bovine pleuro-pneumonia, and mitigating poultry disease outbreaks through widespread vaccination drives issuing over 4.7 million vaccine doses domestically and across West Africa.
