Founded in 1991, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine has 37 faculty members and consists of the Dept. of Basic Science, Dept. of Pathobiology, Dept. of Clinical Science, and Dept. of Food Hygiene and Aquaculture. There are 400 enrollees majoring at the B.Sc., Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.), Doctor of Veterinary Science (D.V.Sc.), and Ph.D. levels at present.
The current programs and degrees offered are Large Animal Internal Medicine (D.V.Sc.), Veterinary Parasitology (Ph.D.), Veterinary Biotechnology (Ph.D.), Veterinary Pathobiology (D.V.Sc.), Comparative Histology (Ph.D.), Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.), and finally Veterinary Laboratory Sciences (B.Sc.).
Academic members of the Faculty are actively engaged in education and research in areas as diverse as clinical practice, domestic animal health and diseases, food safety, biology and public health. More importantly, the Research Center for Ruminant Abortion and Neonatal Mortality Studies is currently considered to be a Center of Excellence of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.
