|
|
The
Haryana Veterinary Vaccine Institute, Hisar
is producing almost all animal vaccines to combat
the dreadful infectious disease in the State.
It is also supplying vaccines to the neighbouring
states. The Institute has been recognized by
Union Government as one of the centres in the
country for the supply of production of tissue
culture based PPR vaccine.
|
|
Haryana
Veterinary Institute Hisar is has been doing
pioneer work in the production of lifesaving
vaccines for the valuable livestock of Haryana
State and supplying these to other states also
where such type of facilities are either not
available or are producing under-capacity. |
|
Institute
came into existence in 1948-49 at Dagshai Campus,
district Simla, (Himachal Pardesh); in the name
and style of Biological Product Section, Punjab.
The basic objective was to combat the challenge
of two dreadful diseases namely – Rinderpest
and Rabies of the livestock. The former also
happened to be highly contagious one and was
causing huge mortality in cattle population
of the country. Previously, the farmers used
to procure Anti Rabies Vaccine from CRI Kasauli,
HP; the institute that was not able to meet
out the demand even for the human beings. |
|
Production
of these two vaccines at this Institute not
only helped to control these diseases to great
extent in this state but also contributed a
great role in “National Programme of Rinderpest
Eradication” and finally succeeded to
get rid of this disease from the country. |
| Then
came the era when poultry farming taken up by
the farmers as commercial business due to training
programmes imparted by the state agricultural
universities and their was huge demand for the
poultry vaccines against the diseases like Ranikhet
and the Fowl Pox. This institution started the
production of these vaccines along with one
more bacterial vaccine namely Black Quarter. |
| In
1957-58, institute adopted the freeze-drying
technology for the production of Rinderpest
and poultry vaccines, which were latest, state
of art technology at that time. This could happen
because of availability of latest lyophilizers
from Edwards, Britain. |
| Institute
was shifted to the beautiful campus of CCS HAU
Hisar in 1961, and production of HS Oil Adjuvant
Vaccine was started to control another dreadful
disease of Haemorrhagic Septicemia locally known
as “Gal-Ghotu”. |
Later
on, with the passage of time, more products
like HS Alum Precipitated Vaccine, Enterotoxaemia
Vaccine, Swine Fever Vaccine and Sheep Pox Vaccine
were also added to the list. |
Till
now, this Institution was meeting out the demand
for these vaccines for joint Punjab (present
Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pardesh). With
the restructuring of joint Punjab, Haryana state
came into existence in 1966 and in 1968-69,
this institute started working with new and
present name of Haryana Veterinary Vaccine Institute,
Hisar. |
| In
the year 2004-05, this institute took up the
production of PPR Vaccine for the disease prevalent
in sheep and goat and test batch of this vaccine
has been released and passed by IVRI, Mukteshwar.
This is a Govt. of India sponsored scheme and
this Institute has been entrusted to produce
this vaccine for six states including Haryana. |
| New
building of this institution with the latest GMP
standards; keeping the scope for future expansion
came up at Barwala Road, 3 KM stone, NH-65, Hisar.
It was inaugurated by the then Hon’ble Chief
Minister, Haryana on Dec. 8, 2004. The shifting
from CCS HAU Hisar Campus started on 21.10.05
and production started in the month of March 2006.
