**16) Livestock and Cattle Plague** **25,000 heads perished in the entire province last year, and 52 cases were found among imported animals.** **The total number of animals inoculated was 57,000, with an average mortality rate of 8 per thousand,** **compared to 14 in 1909. They do not currently advocate for inoculating farmers' livestock, but large** **landowners are less inclined to do so, preferring to risk their livestock rather than inoculate them.** **From the livestock and buffalo census, it appears that their numbers have decreased again, by 53,000** **heads. It seems that farmers find it easier to sell their animals when they are young rather than raise them** **until they grow.** ** On the other hand, the number of animals brought into the Egyptian province from abroad reached** **571,000 in 1910, compared to 361,000 in the previous year.** **Among these imported animals were 5,318 heads of cattle and 63,000 heads of sheep and goats,** **brought from Sudan, most of which arrived via Halfa and the Sudan. It is gratifying that there was** **no disease among these animals. If this continues to be the case, this trade is expected to expand greatly.** **Chapter Four** **On Irrigation** **"17" - Nile Levels and Irrigation Water** **Irrigation water was less than in the previous year, but it was sufficient for the country's needs in spring and early summer.** **The subsequent flood was late, but slightly above average. With the help of a steamer, all cultivated lands were adequately irrigated.** **The current flood was lower than in the previous two years. Nevertheless, it required a large number of men for the mud. The current yield** **of those who requested mud in the past three years has been converted to the usual hundred-day basis.** **1909** **1908** **1910** **9900** **13273** **1910** **13636** **8564** **9076** **Upper Egypt** **Lower Egypt**
