Department of Pathology
 
 
 
 
 

 Introduction

The department of pathology is fulfilling the ever increasing demands successfully in the field of research and academics in poultry and livestock sector. Recently molecular based diagnostic (PCR) laboratory has been added to facilitate research in this area. A number of research projects are also being undertaken by the department. In addition to teaching various undergraduate and postgraduate classes, department is carrying out various activities like post mortem examination of poultry, large & small animals, hematology, blood chemistry and urinalysis. So, it?s a great opportunity for postgraduate students especially to learn the modern techniques and equipments to cope the ever changing environment.
