This brief report examines the origin of the Western veterinary medical science and development of various veterinary medical Institutions in India during the colonial period. The veterinary science has been in existence in India since the ancient period. During the medieval period, the animal husbandry was also paid attention. But, with the expansion of British rule, the whole scenario of animal husbandry practices changed in India. The cattle diseases such as Cattle Plague (Rinderpest), Foot and Mouth Disease, Anthrax, Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, Blackquarter etc. were widespread and these had an adverse effect on the economy and public health in India There were no veterinary schools and colleges to control the animal diseases during the pre and early colonial period. The Indian Cattle Plague Commission (1869) recommended the establishment of veterinary institutions under the colonial management. As a result, Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory was established at Poona (1890); further, shifted to Mukteshwar in 1893 with a branch of Izatnagar (1913). Within a decade of its introduction nearly half a million doses were being administered annually. The introduction of the Western veterinary science was an important landmark in the history of the Indian animal husbandry. The beginning of animal vaccination was an important milestone which ushered in the process of immunization for the animals.

这份简短的报告考察了西方兽医学的起源和殖民时期印度各种兽医机构的发展。自古以来，印度就存在兽医学。中世纪时期，畜牧业也受到重视。但是，随着英国统治的扩大，印度畜牧业的整体情况发生了变化。牛瘟（牛瘟）、口蹄疫、炭疽、出血性败血症、黑季风病等牛病普遍存在，对印度的经济和公共卫生造成不利影响 没有兽医学校和学院来控制牛瘟殖民前和早期的动物疾病。印度牛瘟委员会（1869 年）建议在殖民地管理下建立兽医机构。因此，帝国细菌实验室在普纳成立（1890 年）；此外，在 1893 年随着 Izatnagar（1913 年）的一个分支转移到 Mukteshwar。在其推出后的十年内，每年注射近 50 万剂。西方兽医学的引入是印度畜牧业史上的一个重要里程碑。动物疫苗接种的开始是一个重要的里程碑，它开启了动物免疫的进程。在其推出后的十年内，每年注射近 50 万剂。西方兽医学的引入是印度畜牧业史上的一个重要里程碑。动物疫苗接种的开始是一个重要的里程碑，它开启了动物免疫的进程。在其推出后的十年内，每年注射近 50 万剂。西方兽医学的引入是印度畜牧业史上的一个重要里程碑。动物疫苗接种的开始是一个重要的里程碑，它开启了动物免疫的进程。
