What this department covers

Veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics
Toxicology and poisoning in livestock

Teaching here is tied to the university's working facilities — the veterinary teaching hospital, the Central Diagnostic Laboratory and six livestock teaching and research centres — so students meet real cases and real production records rather than worked examples.
