Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex

The department core objective is to deliver excellent patient care and compassionate services to the companion and farm animal patients and their owners through smooth operationalization of the Teaching Veterinary Hospital (TVH). Being an integral part of the College of Veterinary Science, Teaching Veterinary Hospital is committed to provide state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities for their animal patients. The department works in collaboration with the clinical (Veterinary Medicine, Surgery & Radiology and Gynaecology & Obstetrics) and paraclinical (Veterinary Pathology, Parasitology, Microbiology, Toxicology, Public Health and Animal Nutrition) departments.  With an annual OPD of approximately 32,000 farm and pet animal patients, the teaching hospital caters to the need of animal owners from all over north India. The hospital is also a referral centre for private and government veterinarians. The hospital owns a well equipped central diagnostic laboratory along with other advanced diagnostic facilities such as endoscopy, echocardiography, digital radiology and ultrasonography for assisting clinicians in disease diagnosis and to provide the best possible treatment. With a wide variety of clinical cases, Teaching Veterinary Hospital acts as a learning centre for clinical hands on training for the next generation of general practitioners and veterinary specialists. The undergraduate and postgraduate students have excellent opportunities to transform their theoretical knowledge into practical skills. Here, they learn how to communicate with the animal owners, handle clinical cases, perform diagnostic procedures, evaluate & interpret test results, and correlate them with the clinical findings for proper diagnosis and treatment.


The Teaching Veterinary Hospital has different sections:

  •  Small Animal Clinics for pets
  •  Primary and Specialization units for farm animals
  • Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory
  •  Ambulatory Clinics for providing services to remote farmers

     

      

      



Goals

  • To put constant efforts for upliftment of working facilities for diagnosis and treatment of animal patients.
  • To provide hands-on training to the undergraduate and postgraduate students in restraint and treatment of clinical patients.
  • To train students to achieve academic excellence and become successful future veterinary practitioners and specialists.

Thrust Area

  • To establish species-specific treatment units.
  • Creation of advance disease diagnostic facilities.
  • To alleviate prevalent clinical problems of animals.

Brief Introduction :

 Dr. Swaran Singh Randhawa is a devoted and industrious clinician,teacher as well as a researcher. He has an excellent scientific career,evidenced by his quality research and clinical papers. He has published more than 70 research papers in national and international journals. He has been honored with University Best Teacher Award for the year 2017-18.  He did a pioneer work on ‘Bovine lameness’. For the first time in India, He evaluated sole thickness using ultrasonography in crossbred dairy cattle, which can be used as a selection criterion for breeding programs. He developed Hindi version of “Claw Health Atlas” for International Committee for Animal Recording (ICAR). He also standardized ‘Fast localized abdominal ultrasonography of horses’ (FLASH) for diagnosis in equine colic patients. Recently, he standardized transtracheal wash (TTW) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) techniques for diagnosis in respiratory problems in equines. He also established endoscopy for diagnosis of upper respiratory tract (URT) diseases of equines at the university hospital. His research has been acclaimed nationally and internationally (Finland and New Zealand) with more than 70 presentations in conferences. Presently, He is part of DBT Canine Research Centre and working on the project ‘Elucidating the etiology of chronic gastro-enteropathies in dogs’. He guided 10 postgraduate students. He is currently supervising 2 M.V.Sc and 2 Ph.D student. Presently, he is Editor of Indian Journal of Veterinary Medicine and member of the National Academy of Veterinary Sciences (India).
