Ongoing

 Rapid Disease Diagnostic Centre For Small Ruminants: Rapid Disease Diagnostic Centre For Small Ruminants(RDDCSR) has been established under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana and is functional from 2013. RDDCSR owes to provide the services to the farmers providing Antibiotic sensitivity testing, rapid disease diagnosis and the services mentioned below. RDDCSR provides a platform to provide the faciltities of HD Microphotography, Lyophilisation of bacterial cultures, plant extracts/antibacterial components, rapid identification of bacteria based on proteomic principle using MALDi TOF MS for Ph.D Students for their research.

MALDI TOF MS is first kind of its facility in the veterinary field in India meant for rapid identification of bacteria based on Proteomics.

Department of Veterinary Microbiology is having well equipped modern laboratory faciltites such as:
