4. Research facilities and Infrastructure
Recent achievement :

  • Various aspects of epidemiological, etiological, clinicopathological, haematological, biochemical, diagnosis, therapeutic, preventive and control measures of several diseases like rinderpest, mastitis, babesiosis, theileriosis, trypanosomiosis, coccidiosis, hook worm infections, brucellosis, haemonchosis, colibacillosis, fasciolosis, amphistomosis etc. have been studied by different researchers in the department.
  • Several clinical diseases like enteritis, acidiosis, alkalosis, milk fever, ketosis, otitis, gangrenous syndrome, dehydration, post parturient, haemoglobinuria, diarrohea etc. have been studied and preventive, therapeutic and control measures have been suggested.
  • Toxicity studies of insecticides, plant positioning etc. as well as their preventive and therapeutic measures have been suggested.

Facilities

  • Multiple parameter monitor – Helps in monitoring of different parameters like ECG, Temperature, Blood Pressure, Respiration rate, Heart rate etc. of sick animals.
  • Digital otoscope, ECG, Endoscope, Cardioscope, Ferroscope and Draminski Mastitis Detector are also available for diagnosis.
  • Advanced diagnostic equipment like Autohemolysis and Electrolyte analyzer makes the department well equipped for diagnosis.
