The Department of Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology plays a vital role in imparting knowledge on the principles of pharmacology, mechanisms of drug action, and toxic effects of various substances in animals. The main objective of the department is to train veterinary students in the safe and rational use of drugs and to develop expertise in diagnosis, management, and prevention of toxicoses in animals. The department is actively engaged in teaching, research, and extension activities, focusing on drug efficacy, pharmacovigilance, and toxicological investigations relevant to animal and public health. In addition to academic teaching, the department offers training and diagnostic services related to drug safety evaluation, therapeutic drug use, and toxicological screening for the benefit of farmers, veterinarians, and livestock owners.
