I.V.R.I.
INTRODUCTION
The Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), the first research laboratory of the country in veterinary and Animal Sciences, is India's pioneering Institute devoted to research and education at Master's and Doctorate levels. The administration of the Institute is vested with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research ( ICAR ). IVRI was established in 1889 as the Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory at Pune ( Maharashtra) and was lettered transferred to Mukteswar in Kumaon Hills (U.P) in 1893. Subsequently, for extending the activities of the Institute, Izatnagar(U.P.) Campus wa established in the year 1913. it gradually expanded to the present size with its Headquarter at Izatnagar (U.P.) and campuses at Mukteswar ( Uttaranchal ) and Banglore (Karnataka) and regional stations at Palampur (HP) , Srinagar (J&K), Calcutta (West engal ) and Bhopal (MP). At present, there are twenty one Divisions and six Sections engaged in research in the field of Animal Health, Production and Technology with well integrated multi-disciplinary approach. It has shown new direction in the developm nt of new biological used for diagnosis, prevention, cure and control of many devastating diseases of Livestock including poultry; increased production of milk, meat, eggs, and other animal products; upgrading of the livestock and the poultry with increa ed production potential; overcoming the shortage of animal feeds through utilization of existing feeed resources and cheap agro-industrial by-product. The Institute is spread over an area of 307 hectares at Izatnagar Campus. It is situated at a distance of about 8 km. from Bareilly Jn. (BG) and 4 km. from the Bareilly town. Izatnagar Railway Stations (MG) is about 1 km. from the Institute Campus.
MANDATE
To conduct research and to provide post-graduate education and transfer of technology in the areas of animal health and production. To act as National Referral Centre for Veterinary type cultures, Diagnosis, Biological and Immuno-diagnostics.

Achievements
 | Goat tissue rinderpest vaccine (GTV). |
| Ranikhet disease virus R2.B vaccine. |
| Control and Eradication of African Horse Sickness and development of Mouse Brain attenuated vaccine. Developed goat kidney cell culture polyvalent FMD vaccine. |
| Developed tissue culture vaccine. |
| Development lungworm irradiated vaccine. |
| Quail as an alternate to poultry was introduced for the first time in the country. A high yielding broiler Stain ( B77 ) of poultry was developed and released. |
| Standardization of fermentation technology and large scale production of FMD vaccine in BHK 21 cell in suspension. Theileria schiziont vaccine developed. |
| A large number of immunobiologicals (44) against viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases have been developed including tuberculun PPD. |
| Development of immunodiagnostic and production of reagent viz., CIE,SRH,ELISA,FAT, PCR and MABS have been standardized and used as tool for diagnosis of several viral diseases of livestock and poultry. Significant basic resaerch on immunology has been done to know the role of immuno-competent cells in tackling animals' diseases, nature of several classes of immunoglobulins and assessment of immune response. Management of clinical condition of both domensticated and wild animals. |
| Development of surgical techniques. Use of horn plate for long bone fractures radiographic techniques developed. |
