Commitment to Quality
We Bring Diagnostics, Biological Production, and Research Together!
Our History
Founded on April 7, 1932, as the SERUM INSTITUTE, we relocated to the present 130.5-acre campus in Ranipet in March 1948, establishing our long-term presence and mission to serve animal health.
Our Divisions
The institute operates through four core divisions: Production, Quality Control & Quality Assurance, Pharmaceutical, and Supportive, ensuring seamless operations for our essential work.
Statutory Oversight
We operate under strict statutory and ethical governance, including the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBSC), Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC), and the Vishakha Committee.
Laboratory & Diagnostics
We host a Central Referral Laboratory for the diagnosis of livestock and poultry diseases and manufacture key diagnostics like *Brucella abortus* Antigens and the California Mastitis Test (CMT) Reagent.
Vaccine & Biological Production
Our production includes critical Bacterial Vaccines (Anthrax, Black Quarter, H.S.) and Viral Vaccines (Sheep Pox, Ranikhet Disease, Duck Plague) to control major animal diseases.
Capacity Building
We support the future of veterinary science by offering hands-on training for college students in specialized areas like Egg Inoculation, Cell Culture Techniques, and Laboratory Animal Techniques.
