Pathology

Post-mortem examination, hematology, histopathology & clinical biochemistry are major areas under the pathology section in CVL. Mostly the section receives specimens from all over the country either directly or through the respective RVLs and NADIL. Besides this, the District Livestock Service offices (DLSOs), veterinary practitioners and livestock and poultry farms as well as farmers deliver specimens for the purpose of disease diagnosis. Necropsy examination plays very important role in the diagnosis of diseases in different species of animals. Necropsy examination is the first step of disease diagnosis in case of dead animals. The history, clinical findings, epidemiological surveillance information is also helpful to necropsy examination for diagnosis of diseases.
