The objective of the College of Veterinary and Medical Sciences as pinnacle of excellency is to play a leading role in the provision of veterinary clinical services (surgical and medical), education and research (basic and applied) in the fields of livestock, wildlife, fisheries and allied fields.
It gives advice in the application or adoption of specific technologies, namely, molecular biology, biotechnologies, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, X-ray diagnosis, ultrasonography, preparation of gross animal bodies and organs, and microscopic structures for safe and permanent display in schools, museums and colleges.
Special Attributes of the College
(a) Possesses the highest number of trained experts in the country who are conversant with prevailing socio-economic constraints to livestock health and development in Tanzania;
Modality of Work of SUAVET Consult
Once a new project is initiated through formal requests or informal discussion of the perceived problem, research or training need by the client SUAVET CONSULT develops a proposal.
The proposal includes a statement of the problem, the terms of reference, the objectives, an outline of the recommended work, the expected results, and an estimate of the programmes costs and time schedule.
After presentation to the client, the proposal may be modified as appropriate to arrive at a mutually satisfactory definition of the scope of the endeavour.
Each project is assigned to a team of experts, selected for their skill and experience in the required field. The overall supervision of the project rests with SUAVET CONSULT but there will normally be a project leader for each project.
SUAVET CONSULT recognizes the advantage to be derived from close collaboration with the client. Therefore, in implementing any project SUAVET CONSULT welcomes the inclusion of client staff in the project team.
Where the project require more inputs than available within the Faculty, SUAVET CONSULT recruits consultants from outside the College or form consortium with other consultancy organizations within the University in order to carry out the project(s) successfully.
Upon reaching agreement on the nature, scope, schedule and cost of the consultancy job, SUAVET CONSULT enters into a bilateral contractual agreement with the client(s) where the obligations of each party are explicitly stated.
