DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE & HUMAN NUTRITION
INTRODUCTION Proper nutrition is a powerful good, people who are well nourished are more likely to be
healthy, productive and able to learn. Good nutrition benefits families, their communities and the
world as a whole. On the other-hand under nutrition is, by the same logic, devastating. At the
same time quality and safety aspect of food can’t be undermined as well.
In Pakistan, the nutritional status of the population is not satisfactory. Improper diet is
affecting people of all ages. It is a serious concern about health and well- being of the children,
women and men. Similarly, the food which is available to the masses is not meeting food quality
and safety standards. That’s why exports in food items are decreasing day by day, which is badly
affecting agro-based economy of the country. To fulfill needs and to combat challenges faced by
our country, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore took an initiative and
established the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition under the umbrella of Faculty of
Bio-Sciences. The department has a highly qualified teaching faculty in relevant disciplines. The
students are professionally trained in Food Science, Food Safety and Quality Management,
Clinical Nutrition/Dietetics, Public Health Nutrition, and Food Product Development.
For practical training of the students, the department has developed strong collaborations
with many institutes & industries. The department engages in a wide range of collaborative
projects with scientists in other departments and institutions. Department has well established
classrooms and laboratories for the teaching and research. The major labs include Food Analysis
Lab., Food Safety Lab., Clinical Nutrition Lab and Human Nutrition Clinic. Laboratories are
equipped with all necessary equipment which is required for an experimental work. Qualified
technicians are looking after these laboratories e.g preparation of experiments, fixing equipment,
etc. Food analysis lab is serving as a reference lab for salt iodinization program of Govt. of the
Punjab.

DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACOLOGY & TOXICOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Pharmacology is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action,
where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body)
molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or
organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living
organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. The field of Pharmacology encompasses drug composition and properties, synthesis and drug
design, molecular and cellular mechanisms, organ/systems mechanisms, signal transduction /
cellular communication, molecular diagnostics, interactions, toxicology, chemical biology,
therapy and medical applications and antipathogenic capabilities. The two main areas of
Pharmacology are Pharmacodynamics and Pharmacokinetics. The former studies the effects of
the drug on biological systems, and the latter the effects of biological systems on the drug. In
broad terms, Pharmacodynamics discusses the chemicals with biological receptors, and
pharmacokinetics discusses the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of
chemicals from the biological systems. The key objective of toxicological studies is to evaluate the safety of potential drug. This is
accomplished using relevant animal models and validated procedures. The ultimate goal is to
translate the animal model responses into an understanding of the risk for human subjects. To
this end, the toxicologist must be aware of the guidelines for safety evaluation, as well as
traditional and nontraditional toxicology models. The Department has standardized various in
vivo and in vitro toxicity models including Comet Assay, Ames test and MTT Assay which are
being used to evaluate the genotoxicity, cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of various xenobiotic. The major academic objectives of the Department are to facilitate Basic and Applied Research,
educate under graduate, graduate and professional students in various disciplines and provide
academic excellence. The Department is engaged in teaching all the subjects related to
Pharmacology and Toxicology to the undergraduate and postgraduate students. The department
offers postgraduate courses leading to M.Phil and PhD Degree Programs. The research activities
have been focused on problems of practical importance related to drug disposition and
105
pharmacokinetics in different animal species under local environmental conditions, macro and
micro minerals estimation in animals and by-products, drugs residue studies in food animals,
pharmaceutical, plant and chemical toxicity studies and effect of drugs, plants and toxicants
using various experimental models. The studies are also carried out for evaluation of
indigenous medicinal plants. The outcomes of the research projects have been published in
many peer reviewed international research journals. Our mission is to provide quality
preclinical and clinical education in pharmacology and toxicology for students, to educate and
train graduate and doctoral biomedical scientists, to carry out basic research.
LABORATORY FACILITIES IN TERM OF EQUIPMENT/ TECHNIQUES:
The Undergraduate and Postgraduate laboratories in the Department are equipped with High
Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Spectrophotometer, Laminar Flow hood,

Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Postgraduate Degree Programs
Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
Molecular Biology is a branch of biology that deals with the formation, structure and
function of macromolecules essential to life such as nucleic acids and proteins, including their
role in cell replication and the transmission of genetic information. On the other hand
"Biotechnology" is the deliberate manipulation of DNA molecules to produce commercial
products from living organisms. Bioinformatics tools provide up-to-date descriptions, ranging
from the analysis of sequence, literature, and functional data to the function and evolution of
organisms.
Through high throughput technologies such as whole Genome Analyzer and DNA
sequencing facilities, faster and rapid gains in identification and selection of superior individuals
in respect of disease resistance, better performance and disease control can be accomplished. To
explore the molecular basis for life processes through chemical and physical studies on the
structure and behavior of complex molecules found in biological materials, biochemistry has
emerged as a highly creative and successful discipline. Through characterizing the structure,
function, assembly, and dynamic changes of macromolecules, biochemists seek to answer
fundamental questions about living processes and to bring significant improvements in the
quality of life.
Forensic Sciences
Forensic sciences or forensics is the application of various scientific methods and
principles to investigate criminal and civil actions, which are of interest to the legal systems. All
the clues collected from a crime scene are analyzed by forensic scientists in a crime laboratory
and are converted into scientific evidences worth producing in legal courts. Physical evidences
may include body fluids like blood and saliva, hair, impressions of tyres and shoes, finger prints
and foot prints. In civil cases such as proving the validity of a signature, forensic sciences can
also be applied. The forensic scientists work in collaboration with the police to provide
information in solving a case.
118
It is easier to solve crime today than it was 50 years ago, because of the advances that
have been made in the field of science, or to be more specific, forensic science. In fact, new and
innovative crime solving techniques are being introduced by the day to help law enforcement
officers solve cases that are baffling at first. Forensic science helps to establish the nature of the
crime. There are some crimes that are accidents and others that are by design. Looking at the
evidence through a forensic microscope allows cops and others in the law enforcement area to
determine if the crime was a murder, suicide or other form of accidental death. In the case of a
murder, forensic evidence tells them if the crime was accidental or carried out in cold blood.
Forensic science is also used to investigate and solve burglaries, drug offenses, arsons and
automobile accidents.
Forensic science helps to remove personal prejudices. Forensic science forces law
enforcement officers to look only at the evidence and not follow cases on their instincts or
feelings. It thus provides a quantifiable way to solve crime, one that can be used to provide cold,
hard evidence that is more acceptable in courts and to juries in convicting the guilty or acquitting
the innocent.
Forensic science brings to light evidence that is not visible to the naked eye. Forensic
science uses a number of techniques to help discover evidence that is not immediately visible. So
even in cases where there seems to be no evidence at all, a minute fingernail or a strand of hair
can help nail the criminal. The methods and techniques used are detailed and accurate, and if
done carefully and correctly, can help recreate the crime in laboratory settings and solve the
crime. Most important of all, it helps solve the crime. Using details such as the time of death and
other physical evidence, forensic science can prove conclusively if a person is guilty of the crime
or innocent as they claim. If used wisely and correctly, forensic science can help convict the
guilty and acquit the innocent, both of which are equally important when someone is being
prosecuted for a crime. Forensic science is thus a great comfort to those who have been affected
by the crime and a valuable tool for the criminal law and justice departments in fighting crime
and bringing it to book. This degree program has been designed to provide skills, knowledge and
competencies to the students to work effectively in the field of forensic sciences.
119
Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the
structures and functions of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic
acids and other biomolecules. It deals with interactions between the various systems of the cell,
including the interactions between DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, as well as learning how
these interactions are regulated. Biochemists study the chemical realm inside cells in order to
understand the genetic and molecular bases of cellular processes. The molecular life sciences are
at the forefront of scientific discovery. Over the past decade, an ever growing arsenal of
techniques has helped researchers dissect the innermost secrets of the cell and develop new ways
to detect and attack disease. These techniques also have been used to produce vast amounts of
once rare drugs and vaccines, trace the path of evolution, create instant tests for a host of
illnesses, warn people when their children might inherit a deadly disease, and identify criminals
and victims of disasters. If cancer is to be cured, if solutions to the world‟s energy crisis are to be
found, or if the planet‟s pollution is to be cleaned up, it will probably be the biochemists and
molecular biologists with the knowledge and skills to power these breakthroughs.

Department of Dairy Technology
Mission Statement
Department of Dairy Technology being a pioneer in offering degree program in this discipline,
aspire to provide quality education and training for the development of well skilled manpower in
a stimulating and conducive learning atmosphere with intellectual and technological tools
necessary to meet the global challenges of the future in the discipline for the benefit of our
society and economic uplift of our country” with the motto „learn today, do tomorrow'. Highly
motivated and professionally skilled faculty fortitudes to keep the pace of growth of the
department in skyward direction.
Introduction
This Department was started when the College of Veterinary Sciences was upgraded to
University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Lahore. Earlier it was named as dairy section. The
dairy section was established in 1954 when a dairy plant was installed from USA. Initially it was
working with Livestock Department but was integrated with College of Veterinary Sciences in
1976. After the up gradation of CVS to UVAS dairy section is changed to Department of Animal
Products Technology. Department of Animal Product Technology has been restructured into
three independent Departments namely, Department of Dairy Technology, Department of Meat
Technology and Department of Leather and Fiber Technology.
Degree Program offered:
1- B.S. (Hons.) Dairy Technology
2- M.Phil. Dairy Technology
3- Ph.D. Dairy Technology
4- Offering courses to
DVM
B.S. (Hons.) Poultry Sciences
The degree program in Dairy Technology started with the following aims and objectives.
168
o To impart advance knowledge about milk processing as a major discipline in the field of
dairy technology.
o To equip the students with recent knowledge and practical skills for suitable planning,
state of art processing / preservation and dairy products manufacturing.
o To train the manpower for handling of milk processing / preservation and product
manufacturing equipment and machinery.
o To train manpower for production, evaluation, marketing of value added milk products.
o To develop aptitude and demonstration skills for teaching, research and management in
dairy industry.
o Improvement of milk handling and processing.
o Development of appropriate technologies for the value added dairy products meeting
WTO standards. Personal Skills:
Persons aspiring to make a career in dairy technology should have scientific temper, willingness
to work hard, commitment, an enquiring mind and cleanliness. Dairy industry is one of the
industries which play a dynamic role in Pakistan's agro-based economy. Dairy farming includes
breeding and care of milk yielding cattle and buffaloes, procuring milk and processing of milk
into a variety of dairy products. Dairy processing involves handling of milk for distribution or its
conversion into dairy products. After the milk has reached the plant, processing work begins and
it is converted into a variety of dairy products. Dairy Technologists mainly deal with the
technical and quality control aspect of the processing industry and also work to develop
improved methods in processing, production preservation and utilization of milk and milk
products. Other professionals required in this area include Dairy Engineers, who are responsible
for dairy maintenance and related activities; and Marketing personnel who handle the marketing
and sales of milk and milk products.
Our success stems from quality teaching coupled with hands-on approach to training at
our milk processing plant which is unique in the country. This means we provide students the
opportunity for practical training to learn in real situations - an approach that offers far-reaching
benefits. Because our students learn by doing, they can apply their new skills and knowledge as
soon as they return to their place of work. At the same time, our training also gives them the
169
flexibility they need to adapt their learning to meet any new challenges they may face.
Jobs in Dairy Sector
Dairy Technology graduates have job opportunities in the fields like dairy industries, food
industries, beverage sector, academia, research laboratories and institutes, government
organizations and quality assurance programs etc.
Dairy industry, now a highly specialized field today involves production, procurement,
storage, processing and distribution of dairy products. The main jobs are in production and
processing. Openings for a dairy technologist are available in both the public and the private
sector. They can find job in dairy farms, cooperatives, milk product processing and
manufacturing industries. Quality control departments also recruit dairy technologists. A large
number of dairy technologists also start their own business such as small-scale milk plants,
creamery, ice-cream units etc or work as consultants. A consultant, however, needs several years
of working experience in dairy processing to be successful. Besides there are opportunities for
teaching as well as research and development which is another growing area, crucial for the dairy
industry. Financial administration of a dairy plant, the development of a marketing plan and
different kinds of quality management systems (HACCP) also comes under the responsibilities
of a dairy technologist.

FACULTY OF FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE
DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE & ECOLOGY
From habitat fragmentation to car fatalities, invasive species to development, wildlife around us
is facing a number of serious threats to its survival. We‟re fighting multifaceted national and
worldwide threats to biodiversity, the most important of which is the global problem of climate
change - possibly the greatest extinction risk in history. It seems that humans have set in motion
the sixth mass extinction event in the history of earth.
The Department of Wildlife Ecology had its origin in 2002 when the College of Veterinary
Sciences was upgraded to the University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore. Five years
later, the Department of Wildlife and Ecosystem launched its Postgraduate degree program and
became the first academic department Pakistan ever dedicated specifically to the emerging field
of wildlife management and conservation. In 2007, the present Department name was adopted
because Ecology rather than Ecosystem more appropriately described the Department's emphasis
in research and teaching. Later on the canvas was broadened and the department in collaboration
with Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture started new undergraduate degree programs in BS
(Hons.) Zoology and M. Sc. Zoology.
We believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature - to the existence of a vast
diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss
impoverishes society, we are working to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering
on the brink of extinction. We do so through science with a focus on protecting the lands, waters,
and climate that species need to survive, as without habitat there is no wildlife it is that simple.
Mission
Our mission is to conserve natural heritage of the country, dynamism of ecosystems and species
threatened with risk of extinction. Since baseline information on most of the species and habitats
is fragmentary, we are trying to develop an understanding of concepts and issues relevant to
wildlife management in Pakistan. We aim to apply this knowledge for analyzing, designing and
implementing wildlife management programs in the country. We impart professional level skills to students to apply their knowledge for conserving
endangered species and manage fragmented and disturbed habitats. We also train them to
develop skills in sourcing information, analyzing key points and synthesizing an integrated
report on key issues associated with the conservation of habitats and species under consideration.
We inculcate in them an ability to understand wider implications of wildlife management and a
sense to integrate information from across disciplines. Not only professionally, we also refine
their personality by imparting skills in both written and oral communication.

Currently the research priority of department is based on such fundamental topics as behavioral
ecology, nutritional and physiological ecology, landscape ecology and range management.
Applied areas include game species management, ecology of rare and endangered species,
wildlife damage management, ecosystem health and management, habitat fragmentation and
environmental impact assessment. The Department was founded to have grassroots approach that
goes to the heart of a central issue i.e. preserving the biodiversity, the mandate of the 21st
century. This historical mandate is broadening to encompass other environmental concerns such
as species at risk, sustainability and endangered habitats.

UVAS WILDLIFE SOCIETY
Department of Wildlife & Ecology, UVAS has launched the UVAS Wildlife Society under the
patron ship of our worthy Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Talat Naseer Pasha. The office of the
society is hosted at Department of Wildlife & Ecology, University of Veterinary & Animal
Sciences, Ravi Campus, Pattoki.

Pakistan Journal of Wildlife (A Peer-reviewed Research Journal)
Publication of a research article in a peer-reviewed research journal costs in thousands which is
beyond the capacity of our young scientists. Pakistan Journal of Wildlife is a bi-annual peer-
reviewed research journal launched jointly by Pakistan Wildlife Foundation, Kalabagh Wildlife
Foundation and UVAS Wildlife Society. The journal publishes research papers, review articles
and short communications with a very nominal fee. The journal also provides a forum to young
researchers to publicize any wildlife related research that remained unpublished due to shortage
of financial resources.
UVAS Wildlife research Station, Kalabagh
University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences (UVAS), Lahore signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Kalabagh Wildlife Foundation on March 1, 2015 for joint initiatives
in wildlife biodiversity studies and its conservation. In pursuance of aforementioned MoU, the
Nawab of Kalabagh, Nawabzada Malik Waheed Khan declared more than 200 km2 area of
Kalabagh as UVAS Wildlife Research Station. This initiative promulgated on the eve of World
Biodiversity Day, May 22, 2015, celebrated at Kalabagh, District Mianwali. More than 200
representatives from provincial wildlife departments, academia and leading conservation
organizations participated in the inaugural ceremony. While addressing the audience the Nawab
of Kalabagh, Malik Waheed Khan appreciated the efforts and interests of Prof. Dr. Muhammad
Ashraf Dean Faculty of Fisheries and Wildlife and Prof. Dr. Talat Naseer Pasha, the Vice
Chancellor of UVAS for their love for nature and enthusiastic approach for initiation of wildlife
conservation/research activities in Kalabagh. Nawab of Kalabagh further added if any other
organization/university wishes to join this venture it has to consult UVAS authorities for safe,
secure and fruitful projects. No doubt this credit goes to Dean of the faculty, Chairman of
Wildlife Department and dynamic leadership of Vice Chancellor of UVAS.
UVAS Wildlife Research Station will be an ideal research station for students where they can
observe wildlife in its natural habitat, and can collect data on variety of animals on their various
aspects of life. The UVAS family therefore, deserves congratulations for this landmark
achievement.
INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LINKAGES
We firmly believe that adverse effects of climate change, habitat loss and resulting biodiversity
loss can only be minimized if not stopped completely by networking of Higher Education
Institutions of the world engaged in biodiversity conservation. Department of Wildlife and
Ecology has established international and national linkages with;

Department of Economics and Business Management
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Economics and Business Management (DEBM) has a strong commitment to
prepare its graduate for practical field i.e. corporate world and to act as entrepreneur. It also
committed to foster a research culture through Management Research Projects (MRP) in various
degree programs. However, the MRP‟s prime objective is to only provide the research-based
management consultancies to one specific corporate firm. Such projects may minimize the
opportunities for the young management graduate to conduct some industry-level applied
research particularly in the field of livestock, poultry, fisheries and other allied industries.
Therefore, the M.Phil degree program in business management was started in 2015, which is
aimed to provide maximum opportunities to conduct applied research keeping in view the
industry‟s real issues and providing their research-based solutions. It has also been witnessed for
the past few years that research orientation has shown remarkable growth in academic sector.
Both public and private sector universities have transformed their learning provision mechanism
towards research based degree programs. Industries are also focusing on innovation and
creativity and their demand for human resource in research and development. Keeping in view
the demand and quality gaps, the DEBM has also launched M.Phil degree program.
