Introduction
This Department was started when the College of Veterinary Sciences was upgraded to University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore. Earlier it was named as dairy section. The dairy section was established in 1954 when a dairy plant was installed from USA. Initially it was working with Livestock Department but was integrated with College of Veterinary Sciences in 1976. After the up gradation of CVS to UVAS dairy section is changed to Department of Animal Products Technology.
Department of Animal Product Technology has been restructured into three independent Departments namely, Department of Dairy Technology, Department of Meat Technology and Department of Leather and Fiber Technology.
Department of Dairy Technology is first of its kind in Pakistan which offers degree programme at both undergraduate and post graduate levels. There is need of dairy processing industry for specially qualified professionals having managerial and professional skills. Dairy Technology graduates have job opportunities in the fields, like dairy industries, food industries, academia, research laboratories, government organizations and quality assurance programme.
Department of Dairy Technology has excellent laboratory facilities for under graduate and post graduate students with modern equipment to fulfill experimental and research needs of B.S, M.Phil and Ph.D. students. The department has established its own library with latest books on various disciplines of food science, dairy technology and microbiology .The department has established dairy training centre to impart training to students, dairy industries personals and other stakeholders
