Overview
The academic program in Veterinary profession at University of Nigeria, Nsukka started with a Higher Diploma in Animal Health and Husbandry in 1963 – just 3 years after the opening of the University. At the beginning of the 1966/67 Academic year, the program leading to the award of the professional degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) was started but this was disrupted by the Nigerian Civil War. At the end of the war in 1970, the DVM program was revived with an initial intake of about twenty students. Between 1970 and 1980 the program operated as part of the Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, first as a single Department and by 1975/76 with three Departments. The Veterinary program attained a Faculty status in 1980 with a concomitant expansion to six Departments. Presently, there are nine Departments in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine – Veterinary Anatomy, Animal Health and Production, Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Obstetrics and Reproductive Diseases, Veterinary Parasitology and Entomology, Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology, Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine, and Veterinary Surgery.
