VETERINARY OUTREACH CENTER
The Veterinary Outreach Center (VOC), established in 2006 as part of the Department of Veterinary Medicine, is located on the outskirts of Lahore in Sattarwala Village near the Faizpur Motorway Interchange. This purpose-built veterinary center provides essential training for our veterinary students. Since the establishment of the Medicine Teaching Hospital at Ravi Campus, the VOC has functioned as a core training center for livestock farmers and outreach activities for veterinary students.
Veterinary students at VOC regularly organize camping activities focused on deworming, vaccination, and raising awareness among livestock farmers. This hands-on experience is vital for their education and beneficial for the local farming community.
UVAS 24/7 EXTENSION SERVICE
The UVAS 24/7 Extension Service is unique in providing continuous animal health consultations to the farming community. As an integral part of the Department of Veterinary Medicine, this service offers integrated veterinary and animal health services in collaboration with other applied departments of the university, such as livestock management, animal nutrition, and pathology.
Fully equipped with comprehensive animal health facilities, the UVAS 24/7 Extension Service provides innovative treatments for livestock across the country. Additionally, this service offers needs-based training programs for farmers, enhancing their skills and knowledge in animal health management.
We aim to promote a holistic approach to animal health, production, and welfare, emphasizing preventative medicine as the key to maintaining profitable and healthy livestock.
