TOP Production of various livestock & poultry vaccines and prophylactic vaccination The Haryana Veterinary Vaccine Institute, Hisar is producing almost all animal vaccines to combat the dreadful infectious disease in the State. It is also supplying vaccines to the neighbouring states. The Institute has been recognized by Union Government as one of the centres in the country for the supply of production of tissue culture based PPR vaccine. Haryana Veterinary Institute Hisar is has been doing pioneer work in the production of lifesaving vaccines for the valuable livestock of Haryana State and supplying these to other states also where such type of facilities are either not available or are producing under-capacity. Institute came into existence in 1948-49 at Dagshai Campus, district Simla, (Himachal Pardesh); in the name and style of Biological Product Section, Punjab. The basic objective was to combat the challenge of two dreadful diseases namely Rinderpest and Rabies of the livestock. The former also happened to be highly contagious one and was causing huge mortality in cattle population of the country. Previously, the farmers used to procure Anti Rabies Vaccine from CRI Kasauli, HP; the institute that was not able to meet out the demand even for the human beings. Production of these two vaccines at this Institute not only helped to control these diseases to great extent in this state but also contributed a great role in National Programme of Rinderpest Eradication and finally succeeded to get rid of this disease from the country. Then came the era when poultry farming taken up by the farmers as commercial business due to training programmes imparted by the state agricultural universities and their was huge demand for the poultry vaccines against the diseases like Ranikhet and the Fowl Pox. This institution started the production of these vaccines along with one more bacterial vaccine namely Black Quarter. In 1957-58, institute adopted the freeze-drying technology for the production of Rinderpest and poultry vaccines, which were latest, state of art technology at that time. This could happen because of availability of latest lyophilizers from Edwards, Britain. Institute was shifted to the beautiful campus of CCS HAU Hisar in 1961, and production of HS Oil Adjuvant Vaccine was started to control another dreadful disease of Haemorrhagic Septicemia locally known as Gal-Ghotu. Later on, with the passage of time, more products like HS Alum Precipitated Vaccine, Enterotoxaemia Vaccine, Swine Fever Vaccine and Sheep Pox Vaccine were also added to the list. Till now, this Institution was meeting out the demand for these vaccines for joint Punjab (present Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pardesh). With the restructuring of joint Punjab, Haryana state came into existence in 1966 and in 1968-69, this institute started working with new and present name of Haryana Veterinary Vaccine Institute, Hisar.
In the year 2004-05, this institute took up the production of PPR Vaccine for the disease prevalent in sheep and goat and test batch of this vaccine has been released and passed by IVRI, Mukteshwar. This is a Govt. of India sponsored scheme and this Institute has been entrusted to produce this vaccine for six states including Haryana. New building of this institution with the latest GMP standards; keeping the scope for future expansion came up at Barwala Road, 3 KM stone, NH-65, Hisar. It was inaugurated by the then Hon ble Chief Minister, Haryana on Dec. 8, 2004. The shifting from CCS HAU Hisar Campus started on 21.10.05 and production started in the month of March 2006. The following Vaccines are being produced at the Institute: 1. Haemorrhagic Septicemia (alum ppt.) 2. Haemorrhagic Septicemia (oil adj.) 3. Enterotoxaemia. 4. Black Quarter. 5. Sheep Pox. 6. Peste de petits ruminant (PPR). 7. Swine Fever. The onus of vaccinating animals is on the field staff through a network of 2789 veterinary institutions. All the 21 districts of State are being covered (8 under FMD - CP and 13 under FMD - ASCAD programme) under FMD vaccination programme. Quality control of Feed, Milk and Milk products For quality control of compound cattle feed, concentrates and mineral mixture, the Govt has passed the Regulation of Compound Cattle Feed, Concentrate and Mineral Mixture in 1999 under which manufacturer / dealer / seller has to get himself registered with the Animal Husbandry & Dairying Department.

Veterinary Extension, Education and Training The continuous up-gradation of professional knowledge and sharpening of skills in the wake of fast emerging technological developments are essential to provide better, efficient and competent professional services to animal breeders. Realizing the importance of mid-career training and skill up gradation, the department of Animal Husbandry, Haryana, took a lead among the states in North India in establishing an ultra-modern training institute at Hisar to meet training needs of its field functionaries with the assistance of World Bank under the Agricultural human Resources Development Project. The institute came into existence in May, 2001. It is situated at Dhansu Road, about two Kilometers from bus stand and 4.5 kilometers from Railway Station of the City.

A highly comprehensive training module has been developed by th experts at the institute for such type of trainings. The institute has its own faculty of experienced Master Trainers who are having post graduate / doctorate degrees in different fields. It also draws guest faculty from CSS Haryana Agricutural University and other National Institutes. The Haryana Veterinary Training Institute maintains a close relationship with Govt.
