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”.

VPP- DIVISION OF VETERINARY PATHOLOGY

This page is under construction

VSR- DIVISION OF VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGY

The department of Vety. Surgery & Radiology was started in April 1996 after the deputation of Dr.M.M.S.Zama from F.V.Sc & A.H, Srinagar to permanent wing of-F.V.Sc & A.H, R.S.Pura . Thereafter, Dr. Hans Raj Bhardwaj joined as Assistant Professor in the year 1998. The full fledged division came into existence in the year 2001 after fresh recruitment of teachers in this discipline. The division started with one small animal laboratory in the beginning and two rooms for its teaching staff.
By Feb 2007 the division was shifted to veterinary referral hospital complex building. Step by step the division got sufficient space for laboratories and procured equipments and instruments for teaching and research. Some major equipments like hydraulic operation tables and for small and large animals, anaesthetic machine, blood gas analyzer, diathermy, acupuncture scope, portable X-ray machine and ECG have been procured by the division.
Mandate:
a) Teaching veterinary Surgery and Radiology to B.V.Sc. & A.H., M.V.Sc. and Ph. D students.
b) Research in frontline areas of veterinary sciences in relation to Veterinary Surgery and Radiology as per the need of the nation in general and Jammu and Kashmir in particular.
c) Extension activities – transfer of the research outcome to line departments and imparting training to field veterinarians.

Key Events: XXXI Annual congress of Indian Society for Vety. Surgery & Radiology and National Symposium on “Rehabilitation of Vety. Surgical Patients” was organized from 27-09 Oct 2007.

Research Programs:

1. Endoscopic and ultrasound guided biopsy techniques of different organs in farm and pet animals. (University funded)

2. Isolation and characterization of equine myogenic satellite cells (externally funded)

Avenues for collaborative research with other interested institutions:

Student collaboration for M.V.Sc and Ph.D. degree from other institutions

9TH ACADEMIC COUNCIL MEET ON 12TH JUNE 2009

The 9th Academic Council Meet was held in the University Headquarter at Chatha on 12th June'09. The meeting was chaired by Dr. B. Mishra, H'ble Vice-Chancellor. In his introductory remarks, the Chairman stressed the need for inter-institutional collaborative research and raised other key issues pertaining to academics, research and extension services of the university. The house was also briefed on certain salient features of Vice Chancellors Meet and Dean's Committee held in the recent past elsewhere. Prominent members of the Statuatory board included Registrar and Directors of Resident Instruction & Post-Graduate Studies/ Extension, Officers of the University, Heads of Divisions, etc.

The various proposals passed from the board of under-graduate and post-graduate studies, board of faculties and other statuatory boards were discussed. There was a pressing need for change in the academic curriculum in the light of various changes proposed by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The house unanimously resolved to implement the proposed changes at once. The need for infrastructural changes and revision in the academic machinery was soon to be assessed, evaluated and adopted.

The house also resolved to start Ph.D. program in the discipline of Veterinary Pathology.

Pending cases have been deffered to the next Academic Council meet for discussion. It was also decided that such board meets would be held quarterly to keep abreast of changing and demanding academic scenario of the university.

ACADEMIC COUNCIL MEETING ON 12TH JUNE

A pre-academic council meeting was called on 8th June 2009 in the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry. The Meeting was chaired and briefed by the I/C Dean, Prof. S.K. Gupta. Agenda items forwarded from various statuatory bodies at the faculty and university level were also reviewed during the meet. The Academic Council Meeting is scheduled to be held at the University HQ on 12 June 2009.

4TH MEETING OF "FACULTY OF VETERINARY SCIENCE & ANIMAL HUSBANDRY"

The 4th meeting of the 'Faculty of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry' was held on 1st June in the faculty premises. Chaired by the Dr. A.R. Nazki, Dean of the Faculty, other special invitees and key members were Director of Resident Instruction and Dean Post-graduate studies, Director of Research, and Director of Extension of the University. Dr. M.A. Kirmani, Dean, Veterinary Faculty, was was guest invitee from SKUAST-Kashmir.

Minutes of the previous meet were confirmed and agenda items presented by the members and those approved in the Board of studies meet (both undergraduate and postgraduate) were discussed.

Amidst rigorous brainstorming and debate, a wide array of issues pertaining academic, administrative and social activities were discussed. Salient issues included- adoption of revised veterinary curriculum for BVSc & AH program including development and restructuring of existing infrastructure, involvement of Teaching Veterinary Clinics faculty in UG and PG academics (both Theory and Practical), upgradation of teaching facilities and introduction of AUDIO-VISUAL aids, upgrading sports facilities/ recreation centers, filling up vacant posts in the faculty to cope with the additional mandate of research and extension apart from academics.

Some key issues resolved are likely to be put before the "Academic Council" for approval and adoption.
