Department of Physiology & Biochemistry

Physiology & Biochemistry

What this department covers

How animal systems function, and the chemistry underneath.

• Systems physiology of domestic animals
• Biochemistry of health, growth and production
• Laboratory analysis of blood and tissue
• MPhil study in biochemistry

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.
