VPY- DIVISION OF VETERINARY PHYSIOLOGY

The Division of Veterinary Physiology had been formally established in 2000 with the joining of Dr. A. R. Nazki, Associate Professor as founder Faculty Member of the Division. At the time of establishment, the Division was in its infancy and grew by small leaps and bounds with gradual recruitments and strengthening of the divisional facilities. The Division of Veterinary Physiology has six sanctioned faculty positions viz. one Professor, two Associate Professors and three Assistant Professors. At present, there are four teachers (One professor, one Assoc. Prof. and two Asst. Prof.) in position. Posts of an Associate Professor and an Assistant Professor are lying vacant. Besides, six other sanctioned supporting staff viz. two Field cum Laboratory Assistants, one junior steno, one Computer Asstt. and two Laboratory Attendants are present. The posts of junior steno and one FCLA are presently vacant. Efforts are on to establish Reproductive Physiology and Radio-Nuclear Laboratories in near future.

Mandate
1. Impart education and training to the undergraduate (B.V.Sc.) and postgraduate students in the basic and applied aspects of Veterinary Physiology.
2. Research is focused on:

* Studies on impact of environmental factors on animal health and production.

* Studies on impact of migration on health and production of migratory buffaloes, sheep and goat.

* Studies on the economic importance of migration in terms of nutrient utilization and net gains.

* Studies on the limitations imposed by high altitude on reproductive capacities of farm animals.

* Development and clinical use of early pregnancy diagnostic kits in farm animals.

3. Extension activities: To educate the farmers on various aspects of Reproductive and Environmental Physiology to augment production by manipulation of these factors

Research programs

1. “Electrocardiographic responses in rabbits under normal and stress conditions”

2. “Profiling of certain physiological, haematological and blood biochemical parameters in cross bred cattle with relation to season in Jammu region”.
