Policy initiatives were taken by the government in 2006 to expand veterinary Investigation services in the country, in order to cater to the growing demand from the livestock industry. Accordingly, a phased out programme was planned and implemented to establish a district veterinary Investigation Centre for each district in the country.
Veterinary Investigation Centres (VIC’s) operate under the Animal Health division of the DAPH and are responsible of providing laboratory back up services for divisional veterinary offices in respective distrcts. These centres are also responsible for disease surveillance activities, laboratory confirmation and disease investigation services. VIC’s are equipped with diagnostic and analytical facilities and, are managed by Veterinary Investigation officers.
By the end 2018 there had been 24 functional VIC’s.
