 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:

Animal Cell Culture   Laboratory

Advanced Bacteriology Research Laboratory

 

Animal Virology Laboratory

Immunology & Serology Laboratory

                                                                                   

UG Bacteriology Laboratory

Advanced Molecular Biology Laboratory with Nanodrop, Gel Documentation and Real Time PCR facility

 

Microbial Culture Collection of Veterinary and Zoonotic Importance

Housing 116 bacterial lyophilised cultures characterized based on the proteomic principle.The isolates procured from the clinical cases subjected to the college clinics, attending the outbreaks and the samples submitted by the farmers or field veterinarians.
