Research and Extension activity

  • PG and PhD students research: Division is working on the disease diagnosis and molecular characterization of animal pathogens including drug resistance pathogens and their mitigation using ITK based plant based polyherbal therapy.
  • Division is running one National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP) centre on Foot and Mouth Disease funded by Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD) of Govt of India. It is involved in sero-monitoring, sero-survillance and outbreak investigation of FMD and other animal diseases like LSD and Brucellosis, Anaplasmosis etc. Centre also conduct trainings/ workshops for veterinarian/ paravets/ other staff and farmers.

Events & Other Activity:

  • Division is maintaining one CCSEA, New Delhi approved Small Laboratory Animal Facility for the demonstration to UG/PG/ PhD students and divisional and students research.
  • Referral Analytical Laboratory: Division is in the process of establishing the RKVY funded Referral analytical laboratory for the environmental pollutants, drug residues and microbial toxins and toxicants.

Facilities

One PG class room and Small Laboratory Animal Facility
