===Division of Animal Health===
The Division of Animal Health was originally with Sheep Husbandry section but was upgraded as an independent division in 1987. The initial mandate of the division was to cover the health related aspects of the flocks under the institute. Later, the division was expanded by obtaining diagnostic laboratories and other equipment.<ref>http://www.oie.int/doc/ged/D8930.PDF</ref>
