With my best wishes for success and progress
The College of Veterinary Medicine – Badr University in Cairo seeks to have distinguished programs in the field of veterinary medical sciences locally, regionally and internationally, and to improve the educational and research process, especially in the field of food health and safety and animal medicine and surgery.
Preparing distinguished veterinary cadres capable of imparting knowledge, localizing technology, serving and developing the local and regional community ٬ In addition to directing scientific research to serve the community and its needs.
Our veterinary school buildings have been designed by leading architects, comprising a main teaching facility with lecture theatres and laboratories, a BUC PET Clinic; Skill Labs and one of largest and most sophisticated high Veterinary Hospital
The central library, based on Campus, includes a large number of innovative veterinary books and publications set out in a relaxing environment, conducive to studying. There are comfortable seating areas, group study areas, a silent study area and private study rooms.
The university offers a learning management system (LMS) for enhancing learning needs in all areas, assignment, examinations and student registration attendance.
1- Morgue
School of veterinary medicine has many advanced museums (including the Museum of Anatomy and the Museum of Structures). 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.
8- Food Safety Lab
The Food safety lab. investigate and examining environmental (microbiological) factors that can affect food quality, longevity, and safety of raw materials, prepared ingredients, and finished products. It is equipped with cutting-edge technology and experts using the most up-to-date testing standards.
9- Skill Lab
The skill lab. is an educational facility which gives the undergraduates students the opportunity to be trained and learned a relevant clinical and communication skills they can use in their clinical practice with real animal hospital. The major goal is to give them a stimulated environment which stimulates the patient in actual hospital or clinic settings.
10- microbiology lab
The microbiology lab deals with detecting, culturing, and identifying microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. The laboratory provides the fundamental microbiology laboratory techniques include aseptic techniques, culturing techniques, enumerating bacteria, and identifying different classes of microorganisms. Therefore, the efficient use of these microbiological tools provides a student with deeper understanding of microbial life.
11-Parasitology lab.
Parasitology lab aimed to offer a first class diagnostic and reference facility for the diagnosis of parasitic infections. Also, students strongly committed to identification of animal parasites and their diagnosis, and to the provision of training for students.
12- Meat Hygiene Lab
Meat and meat products are the major contributor for protein rich foods in the food industry. So; at meat hygiene lab we study types of food adulteration, how to determine spoiled food, types of meat preservatives and how to detect them in meat and their harmful effect on human health, determination of microorganisms in meat and meat products.
13-Pathology lab:
Pathology laboratories exist to aid doctors in laboratory testing and to study and interpret results of biopsies and other specimens gross and microscopic. Pathology laboratories may be found as standalone facilities, but these pathology laboratories may also be found within hospitals to help the medical team better understand the causes of various diseases.
