Animal industry science consists of the basic studies of industrial animals including livestock
and their application and the study of how they are related with social environments.
Specialized courses comprise Division of Animal Business Management and Informatives where students learn and study various phases of food production, consumption promotion, and preservation of environments; Division of Nature Management and Agricultural Economics whose major concern is the collaboration and coexistence between urban consumptive areas and rural productive areas; Division of Animal Nutrition whose major concern is about what kinds of grass are effective to herbivorous animals and to what extent, the utility of microorganisms, the improvement of chicken eggs. etc.; Division of Animal Physiology where investigations are carried out on such topics as the mechanism of chicken’s blood production, the relationship between the protein metabolism and the efficient production of chicken; Division of Animal Breeding and Reproduction where they study how to improve the quality of milk, and how it is inherited, and the mechanism of embryo and the possibility of its human manipulation; Division of Animal Biochemistry where they investigate, for example, how micronutrients work on the flesh of herbivorous animals.

In today’s competitive world, everybody needs to have an edge and the Department of Zoology has an enviable reputation for making sure our postgraduates are successful competitors in obtaining jobs in academic as well as in other fields.

The two year taught Master Degree course has been divided into 4 Semesters, each semester having 500 marks. Students are allowed to have a special paper of their interest in the 4th Semester course.

There are five special papers viz.
Animal Ecology & Wildlife Biology
Animal Physiology & Biochemistry
Cell & Molecular biology
Entomology
Fish Biology & Fishery Science

Queen Mary has a long record of research achievement in understanding the structure, physiology, distribution and behaviour of animals, from microscopic creatures to turtles, seals, whales and dolphins. As a zoology student, you will receive a thorough grounding in vertebrate and invertebrate biology. To complement this, we will offer you course units in physiology (with an emphasis on medicine), behaviour, evolution and neurobiology. Course units in molecular and population genetics, ecology, statistics and immunology are also available. There is a strong emphasis on fieldwork, with core and optional course units taking students to Borneo to study tropical ecology, to the west coast of Scotland to study marine mammals and to Loch Lomond to study fish and invertebrates.

Assessment

For all programmes you must undertake 120 credits (normally 8 modules) in each academic year. Each module is assessed from a combination of theory examinations (most make up 75 per cent of the mark) and from coursework (for example practical reports, field course reports, essays, and mini-tests). Final year students undertake a research project worth either 15 or 30 credits; these are assessed by a detailed written report and an oral interview. There are no mid-session exams and the main examination period is April/May, with August for deferred exams and resits. The August exams are useful to help with progression as students need normally 90 (first year) or 180 (second year) credits to progress. A pass in a resit examination is limited to 40 per cent. Theory examinations are normally two hours 30 minutes for first and second years, and three hours for final year papers. For further information regarding assessment for specific modules,

Career opportunities

Many graduates in Zoology move on to medically-related careers: healthcare, clinical medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or nursing; others will be employed in areas relating to the life sciences, such as environmental monitoring. Alternatively, some graduates choose to study for a further degree, or take jobs in industry.

Zoology was established in June 1968. It is one of the oldest and largest Department in the Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab India. It has contributed immensely for the development of zoological studies in Punjab as well as North India. This Department is recognized by NAAC peer team as one of best Science Department of the University. It has been selected as FIST sponsored Department by DST, Govt. of India, Ministry of Science and Technology to build up the infrastructure for post graduate, teaching and research, in 2006. The UGC has supported the department with DRS – I project under SAP since 2007.

The in-position faculty has earned acclaim at the National and International levels. The faculty members of the Department have been actively engaged is promoting research in diverse fields such as Biodiversity, Cell and Molecular Biology, Animal Physiology, Cytogenetics, Entomology and Parasitology.

The Department has been sanctioned 44 major research project by different funding agencies such as the UGC, DST, CSIR, ICAR, USPL-480, MoEF, PSCST and PPCB. It has produced 110 Ph.D’s, 78 M.Phil and more than 800 M.Sc. students so far. To this date 11 conferences/symposia have been organized by this Department, out of which 3 were International (2000, 2005, 2007). The Department has contributed more than 1140 research papers in different National and International journals of repute, which are in addition to 52 books published till date.

Introduction and Objectives

The objective of the programme is to provide enhanced training in research and application of the life sciences with emphasis on molecular biology and biotechnology, and produce graduates who will contribute on economic growth and welfare development through research, teaching and production of ruminant and non ruminant animals in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Admission requirements

Eligible applicants must be holders of Master of Philosophy degree in Agricultural Veterinary, Medical biological sciences, applied or pure sciences (zoological major) of Moi University or equivalent qualification from any recognized university.

Animal physiology is an interdepartmental graduate program developed and offered by faculty in the departments of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aquaculture, Fisheries and Wildlife, Biological Sciences, and The Institute of Wildlife and Environmental Toxicology. Applicants should have a strong background in the biological and physical sciences. Students with deficiencies in these sciences may be admitted provided they correct these deficiencies during the first year of their program of study.

The PhD degree does not have formal coursework requirements, but it is recognized that students will have individual deficiencies; therefore, it is the responsibility of the student and his/her major advisor, in consultation with the graduate advisory committee, to prescribe coursework to correct these deficiencies.

All students majoring in Animal and Veterinary Sciences are required to complete AN PH 851.
