Veterinary Care

Veterinary Centres cater to the needs of villages nearby. Mobile Camps are held at regular intervals in the villages of the project area.

Immunisation and de-worming of livestock and poultry are carried out periodically through special camps. Artificial insemination and pregnancy diagnosis are carried out at the Centre as well as at the camps. Common problems of animals are attended to at an affordable cost. Emergency cases are attended to immediately on receiving a call from the project area. Diagnosis and Treatment of common diseases affecting livestock and poultry is done through trained Veterinary Extension Workers

TCT responded to the need for cattle care in 1992 when there was no veterinary service in the villages. TCT trained local boys in basic veterinary care to provide the following services –

Treatment at Veterinary Centres and Mobile Camps Emergency treatment at the doorstep Immunisation and de-worming of livestock and poultry Artificial insemination and pregnancy diagnosis

With the growth of Dairy and Poultry industry and the emergence of regular veterinary service in the villages, TCT’s veterinary care programme became obsolete and was closed.
