HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Department of Veterinary Microbiology was established since inception of the college with the aim to impart undergraduate education. The postgraduate program in Veterinary Microbiology was incepted from 1995 and subsequently in Animal Biotechnology from 2007. The Ph.D program in Veterinary Microbiology was started from 2013. Currently the department offers Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral degree programs. The curriculum prepares students to meet their goals, which include professional careers in academic, clinical and technical field microbiology and animal biotechnology. So far 39 students have completed PG programs in Veterinary Microbiology and 13 in Animal Biotechnology. One student has completed and another four are undergoing Ph.D program. The department undertakes time-bound research projects, in addition to the teaching and diagnostic services being provided for diagnosis of bacterial, viral and fungal diseases of livestock and poultry.
