Department of Livestock Products Technology: Economic and profitable livestock farming is possible when livestock raw products are not wasted and marketed as finished products. This department offers courses on technology of preparing and preserving many nutritive products from milk, meat, fish etc. Techniques of processing of bye products like wool, fur, hide and flaying etc. to make utility products is also included in the syllabi. Department is adequately equipped with facilities to impart practical training during the course of study.
The Department has following sanctioned strength of Faculty:
Professor - 1
