Presently the department is extending disease diagnostic service in the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Service Complex and handling samples of all clinicopathological importance from diseased animals received daily in the hospital. Each year the department receives approx. 400 blood samples, 200 biochemical estimations, 70-80 Urine samples, 100 postmortems including poultry and wild life, and more than 50 histopathological biopsy and tumor tissues. The Department maintains more than 300 specimens of different disease conditions in the Museum and 1000 histopathological slides which is a unique collection in the country.
