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.
