The institute is located in Tando Mohammad Khan at the distance of 16 km from T. M. Khan city, on Sujawal road. The basic aim of establishment of this institution was to collect basic information regarding livestock in rural Sindh and conduct problem oriented research. The research then should be applied by organizing different training programs for livestock farmers as well as Veterinary Doctors for their capacity building and skill enhancement. Training programs are organized in such a manner that the farmers can be introduced to modern scientific technologies to improve the worth of their animals and get more profit from them. The institute also works in collaboration with Government and non-Government organizations to organize different types of trainings.
