Animal Genetics and Breeding

Animal Genetics & Breeding Department is one of the oldest section of Bombay Veterinary College. This department was named as Animal Husbandry Department since beginning. Initially this department was teaching Meat Hygiene, Animal Management, Meat and Milk Inspection and shoeing and was headed by Dr. M.K. Garudachar. The full-fledged Department started in mid 1940’s when Dr. F.S. Khambata became the Professor in 1947. Previous professors who contributed to the development of the department were  Dr. G.H. Joshi, Dr. S.G. Kshirsagar, Dr. N.S. Tadpatrikar, Dr. M.D. Chauhan , Dr. S.G. Narayankhedkar and Dr. S.B. Nehete.
Dr. U.D. Umrikar, was in – charge of the department during 2003-2004 and Dr. M.P.Sawane was in-charge during 2005-2007. Since, 2007, Dr. Umrikar is holding the responsibility of this department as Professor of Animal Genetics and Breeding. The postgraduate course (M.V.Sc.) in Animal Genetics and Breeding was started in the year 1961. The Ph.D. degree course by research was started in the year 1994. The Ph.D degree course partly by research and partly by course work started in the year 2002. From this department 81 postgraduate students have successfully completed their M.V.Sc. degree and 3 students have successfully completed their Ph. D degree program.
