Haryana Animal Husbandry and Dairying Minister, Sh. Shyam Singh Rana said that the state government will purchase modern machinery for veterinary polyclinics and hospitals in the state to ensure affordable treatment for livestock farmers. He said that the High Powered Purchase Committee today approved the installation of gas anaesthesia machines, ultrasound machines, blood testing equipment and establishment of Biosafety Labs Level-2.
The meeting was chaired by Animal Husbandry and Dairying Minister, Sh. Shyam Singh Rana. Haryana Education Minister, Sh. Mahipal Dhanda, a member of the committee was also present. The Minister said that the committee has approved the purchase of gas anaesthesia machines for animal treatment polyclinics across the state.
These machines will help doctors perform animal surgeries more safely and efficiently. Compared to injectable anaesthesia, gas anaesthesia provides precise dosage, faster recovery and better control of depth during surgery. It works with oxygen, reducing pressure on the heart and other organs and ensuring reliable pain management for both small and large animals, he added.
He further informed that ‘Biosafety Labs Level-2’ will be established in Hisar, Raipur Rani and Sonipat. These labs are used to test moderate-risk diseases in animals. This lab is designed to test for infectious agents that may affect both human and animal health.
They will be equipped with special PPE, biosafety cabinets and autoclaves to prevent infection through respiratory or skin contact. The labs will help detect infectious diseases that can spread from animals to humans, ensuring public safety.
Sh. Rana also said that ultrasound machines will be purchased for animal treatment. These machines provide non-invasive and radiation-free diagnosis of internal organs, tissues and pregnancy in animals. The technology is useful for detecting tumours, stomach diseases and reproductive issues in pets such as dogs and cats as well as farm animals like cows, buffaloes and sheep.
He added that veterinarians often require blood tests for sick animals, and until now this facility was available only at LUVAS University in Hisar. The committee has approved the purchase of blood testing equipment, and now blood tests for animals visiting government hospitals will be conducted free of cost, enabling faster treatment.
The Minister said that livestock form the economic backbone of farmers, helping them run their households and earn additional income. The state government is taking every necessary step to make livestock farmers prosperous.
Principal Secretary, Animal Husbandry Department, Sh. Vijay Singh Dahiya, Director General, Dr Prem Singh, Joint Director, Dr. Sukhdev Rathi, Director General, Supplies and Disposals, Sh. Pankaj and other officers were present during the meeting.
