In a landmark move for veterinary healthcare, this initiative aims to revolutionize emergency animal care nationwide by establishing a structured, ethical, and scientifically sound framework for animal blood transfusion.<\/p>\n<h3>Background:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">India&#8217;s livestock and companion animal sectors are among the largest and most diverse in the world, comprising over <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">537 million livestock<\/span> and more than <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">125 million companion animals<\/span>. Together, the sector contributes <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">5.5% to the national GDP<\/span> and over <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">30% to agricultural GDP<\/span>, serving as a cornerstone for <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">food security, rural livelihoods and public health<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Blood transfusion, recognized as a life-saving intervention, is increasingly in demand for treating animals across species only in emergencies. However, India previously lacked a comprehensive national framework for veterinary transfusion medicine. Most transfusions were conducted without standardized protocols for donor screening, blood typing, or storage.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing this gap, the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Veterinary Council of India<\/span> (&#8216;VCI&#8217;) formally requested DAHD on <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">26-6-2025<\/span>, to formulate uniform procedures for donor selection, blood collection, storage, and transfusion. A draft was prepared based on SOPs issued by TANUVAS University, and subsequently reviewed by key stakeholders including:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p>Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (&#8216;CDSCO&#8217;)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Veterinary universities and colleges<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Indian Council of Agricultural Research
