Medicine

What this department covers

Clinical diagnosis and treatment across species.

Medical conditions of large and small animals
Indoor patient care at the teaching hospital
Herd health for commercial dairy and poultry
Infectious and non-infectious disease management

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.
