==History==
{{Expert|India|date=March 2019|reason=The timeline doesn't make sense. More concrete language is needed.}}
The college came into existence in 1955 as Government Veterinary College. Initially, the college was affiliated to [[University of Kerala|Kerala University]]. It switched to [[University of Calicut|Calicut University]] in 1966. It was later renamed Kerala Veterinary College and Research Institute.

On 12 June 2010 a new university exclusively for veterinary science was created by ordinance on the campus of the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Pookode, near [[Vythiri]], in [[Wayanad district]]. According to the Ordinance, the proposed university would have the jurisdiction of the entire state.

The Mannuthy Veterinary College and its 400 acres of campus, the Pookode Veterinary College and its 90 acres of campus, the veterinary clinical complex of the Pookode Veterinary College, College of Dairy Science Technology, Mannuthy, Livestock Research Station in Palakkad and its 400 acres of campus, dairy farm at Kolahalamedu in Idukki, various farms in Mannuthy, the cattle infertility centre in Kozhikode and the Veterinary Hospital in Thrissur, cattle breeding farm at Thumboormuzhy, is handed over to the university.
