Pathology

What this department covers

How disease alters tissue, and what a post-mortem can tell you.

Gross and histopathology of animal disease
Post-mortem diagnosis and reporting
Clinical pathology supporting the teaching hospital
Investigation of disease outbreaks in the field

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.
