This handbook has been prepared on the basis of syllabus proposed and recommended by ICAR and 5th Dean's Committee report for Biotechnology students (B. Tech). The concise and crispy material for this course was assembled from different books of Veterinary Anatomy and Veterinary Physiology. The information and notes are arranged in 3 Units comprising of total 37 Chapters as per the syllabus. We hope that this handbook will be of interest and use for Biotechnology students and will serve as ready to read syllabus.
