Enhancing Veterinary Health Care Services In Mizoram: A Decadal Analysis And Educational Imperatives
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research article presents a comprehensive analysis of veterinary health care services in Mizoram over a decade, from 2009 to 2019, with a focus on the educational implications for veterinary professionals and students. The study examines four key parameters: the number of cases treated in outpatient departments (OPD), the number of castrations performed, the number of artificial inseminations conducted, and the number of vaccinations administered. The data is analyzed to identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement in veterinary health care services, emphasizing the need for enhanced educational frameworks. The findings are presented in three rigorous statistical tables, followed by detailed analysis and discussion, including insights gathered from a survey of stakeholders.
