Master
of Science in Quality Systems in Dairy Processing
Now
a day, the consumers are very much concerned about the safety of milk and milk
products and the condition under which these are produced. Chemical and
Microbiological safety plays a very significant role in the quality control of
milk & dairy products world wide. Food borne illness associated with milk
& dairy products consumption recently has been found to be a common
problem. Presence of micro organisms in milk and milk products constitute
public health hazards. Contamination of milk with pathogenic bacteria is
largely due to unhygienic conditions in production and handling. Another
potential area which causes risk to the consumers is antibiotic and elementary
xenobiotic residues in milk & milk products. Application of HACCP system in
dairy industry in order to maintain high quality of foods for safe consumption
has increased the requirements for rapid and automated microbiological
techniques. This post graduate course is designed to generate qualified persons
to handle the emerging needs in Quality control sector in Dairy Industry. This
course aims to provide information about chemical and microbiological
contaminants in milk, rapid detection techniques and application of HACCP
system on the food contaminants and Implementation of a regular toxicological
control management program for bulk milk supply and to the Dairy product
manufacturing sector to efficiently identify toxic sources and remove them in
due time. The course will further equip the students and open up opportunities
to undertake career in Quality management of food products, as supporting staff
for teaching, research etc.

Master
of Science in Wildlife Studies
The
concern for conservation of wild life in situ and in captivity has increased
globally over the years. This has increased the demand for trained personnel
with sufficient practical exposure to manage real life situations involving
free ranging and captive wildlife. A post-graduate course for bioscience
graduates is the requirement of the day which can be pivotal in acting as a
turning point for those who would like to turn from the mainstream towards the
fast growing field of wildlife conservation and management. CVAS, Pookode, is
located in Wayanad district, which consists of a unique geographical region
naturally blessed with varieties of wild flora and fauna. A major part of the
district consists of reserved forest areas and parts of the Niligiri Biosphere
Reserve, identified by the UNESCO as a biodiversity hotspot of international
importance. The location of the well equipped institute in this forest rich
district of Kerala makes it the ideal place for development in the wildlife
study sector and for the conduct of specialized wildlife related academic
programmes like MS (Wildlife Studies).

Master
of Science in Applied Biochemistry
Applications
of biochemistry are increasing day by day in every sphere of life. Availability
of suitably qualified personnel is very much limited. This post graduate course
is designed to generate qualified persons to handle the emerging needs in
applied biochemistry. Students undergoing this course will understand the
scientific basics of the life processes at the molecular level. It will orient
them towards the applications of the knowledge acquired to organize biochemical
analysis of organs/tissues. Besides, the programme will help to develop
competence and skills to organize and conduct research. Their knowledge on
instrumentation will aid in the handling of modern sophisticated equipments.
Understanding molecular biology tools will help in the diagnosis, prevention
and control of diseases. It will also lead to the augmentation of production
and synthesis of biological products for improving health and treatment of
diseases. Molecular biology tools also play an important role in the detection
of food pathogens and thereby help to maintain food safety and security. The
course will further equip the students and open up opportunities to undertake
career in teaching, research and in diagnostic laboratories/institutions.

Master
of Science in Applied Microbiology
This
programme is designed to generate qualified personnel to handle the rapidly
emerging needs in the field of Applied Microbiology. In the present scenario,
microbiology is acquiring great importance in the context of its applications
in food safety, fermentation technology, molecular biology, industrial
biotechnology, bio- control of pests and sewage/waste management. The proposed
course envisages a coordinated approach by clubbing all the relevant fields
which cater for the beneficial use of microbes. A student mastering this course
will therefore be able to do independent research or become professional
specialist in any of the several areas covered by the curriculum.

Diploma
in Poultry Production
Among
various agriculture-related activities, poultry sector is the one with the
highest annual growth rate. In spite of higher output of the sector in India,
per capita consumption of eggs and poultry meat is one of the lowest. Eggs and
poultry meat supply high quality protein at cheaper costs compared to other
protein sources. These products have a huge potential to alleviate food and
nutritional insecurity of people. In this context, skilled human resource
becomes essential for the growth of this sector, both as managers in the
industry as well as self-employed entrepreneurs. The course “Diploma in Poultry
Production” is uniquely designed to impart basic theoretical knowledge and
reasonable practical experience in all aspects of poultry farming, namely layer
production, broiler production, quail farming and other avian species
management. The degree holders are expected to pursue viable poultry-business
activities.

Diploma in
Laboratory Techniques
Laboratory
technology is concerned with the diagnosis of diseases through the use of
clinical laboratory tests. A qualified laboratory technician plays a vital role
in collecting the information needed, sampling, testing, reporting and
documentation of these investigations. The results determine the presence,
extent or absence of disease and provide data needed to evaluate the
effectiveness of treatment. In the light of emerging and re-emerging diseases
in animals and human beings along with the zoonotic and vector borne nature of
many pathogens, an increasing demand for timely and accurate disease diagnosis
is the need of the hour. There exist a wide gap between the growing need and
existing facility in this field both in terms of quality and quantity.
Therefore a key focus should be placed on providing technically competent
personnel in the area of laboratory technology useful for animal/human
laboratory analysis.
In
order to obtain reliable and accurate results for laboratory tests, a sound
theoretical knowledge and good practical skill on laboratory techniques is
inevitable. The course will be a collaborative effort of three major
disciplines like Parasitology, Pathology and Public health. It will comprise of
elaborate theory classes, hands on practical and demonstration classes on
collection, preservation and dispatch of clinical samples, handling of
microscopes and other equipments, preparation of glassware/media, assistance to
postmortem examination, detection of pathogens, analysis of blood and urine,
examination procedures of clinical samples, preparation of reagents and
solutions. Moreover the use of advanced disease diagnostic equipments
necessitates a familiarity in proper handling and care.
The
Diploma course in laboratory techniques also intends to impart advanced skills
to mould practicing laboratory professionals to excel in quality disease
diagnosis to serve as an integral part of country’s health care system.
