The Microbiology Department at the Veterinary Laboratory (VL) in Surkhet plays a crucial role in ensuring animal health. This department tests animal samples for various pathogenic microorganisms, aiding in the identification of bacterial and other infections in animals. By employing different diagnostic methods, the department provides critical information on the identified pathogens, which supports regional disease control and prevention efforts in animals.

The work of the Microbiology Department assists veterinarians and animal health workers in targeted treatment efforts and helps to establish informed preventive practices for disease control. This report supports strategic planning for disease control at the regional level and guides treatment protocols. The findings contribute to improving animal health, managing antibiotic resistance, and implementing effective disease prevention measures. In this way, the department plays a significant role in ensuring a healthier and more productive livestock population in the Karnali and Lumbini provinces.
