The School also has a large morgue equipped with the latest educational and research tools. It includes a hall for preparing anatomical samples and various illustrations. In addition to it has equipped with the latest technologies and modern means in education and scientific research.

2- Histology Lab

The primary goal of histology laboratory was to preserve and study about the morphology of tissues by using histological techniques. The students have an opportunity to processed tissues step by step from grossing, processing, blocking trimming and sectioning, staining and mounting.

3- Biochemistry lab.

 well equipped with modern facilities as well as it provides student with a great experience in developing necessary skills for biochemistry experiments. The veterinary students in biochemistry lab. able to observe, hands-on experience, practice, design, carry out, analyze, and interpret experiments.

4- Animal behavior and management

The lab. provides an important resource for student’s educators, researchers and practitioners who want to explore and study animal behavior. Understanding how and why animals do what they do about the mechanisms and the functions of animal behaviour, integrating our extensive experimental work with theoretical approaches.

5-physiology lab.

Physiology lab. provide veterinary students with hands-on access to modern techniques in animal physiological analyses.  This is to offer them the opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding through experimental physiological observations on living animals, organ preparations and tissue cultures.

6- Pharmacology lab.

The school has a Pharmacology lab. which the students learn how to handle animals and learn the pharmacokinetic principles. In addition, students investigate some of the responses of tissue preparation to several drugs, ranging from dose–response studies to demonstration of selective antagonism.

7. Nutrition lab.

Equipment in animal nutrition lab is mainly focusing on the evaluation and analysis of different feed ingredients. Tools are available for determining energy, protein, fat, and fiber as well as moisture content in different feeds.
