The department of veterinary Anatomy was one of the six departments that were originally set up to start the Veterinary College in July, 1986. The Master Programme was started in 1992-93. The Doctorate Programme was started in 2004. The main objective of the department is to educate undergraduate (B. V. Sc. & A. H.) and postgraduate (M.V.Sc& Ph.D.) students in the field of Veterinary Anatomy, histology and embryology and its application in other fields. In addition to teaching the department worked on the Gross Anatomy, Histology and Histochemistry of different organ systems of local breeds of Himachal Pradesh viz. Gaddi sheep, Gaddi goat, Spiti horse and yak. The research work is focused on prenatal and post natal developmental studies of different organ systems of these species which are of importance in state ecomomy.
