India’s veterinary research ecosystem is rapidly evolving, driven by a growing need for advanced diagnostics, vaccines, and innovation in animal health. At institutions like the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) — one of the region’s oldest and most respected veterinary science research organizations — scientists are developing solutions that span livestock disease control, vaccine innovation, and translational research for field impact. (IVRI)
Meanwhile, the Indian veterinary healthcare market has been projected at USD 1.25 billion in 2024 and is forecast to reach USD 1.89 billion by 2029, growing at a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8.6%. (Research and Markets)
In this context, effective collaboration between research institutions and industry partners — especially biotech innovators — is essential to drive impact from lab discoveries to practical animal health solutions.
Expanding Horizons in Veterinary Science
Institutes like IVRI have a long legacy of foundational research in veterinary and animal sciences. Their mandate includes developing modern diagnostic methods, therapeutic protocols, vaccines, and strategies to combat infectious and zoonotic diseases. (IVRI)
Recent advances — such as combined vaccines for sheep pox and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) — demonstrate how research-driven interventions can control endemic diseases while improving productivity. (IVRI)
However, research excellence must be paired with scalable biotech solutions — including reliable reagents, next-generation assays, and high-quality biological tools — to fully translate scientific insights into real-world outcomes.
Role of Diagnostics & Translational Tools
Accurate and reproducible diagnostics form the foundation of effective animal disease surveillance and treatment. Research indicates that robust diagnostic infrastructures — including ELISA kits, recombinant proteins, and molecular assays — are pivotal in early detection and control of livestock diseases and zoonoses.
For biotech innovators and research partners, delivering high-quality reagents and validated assays is vital. These tools empower institutions, CROs, and laboratories to scale research, improve detection sensitivity, and support therapeutic development.
At deNOVO Biolabs, we provide a suite of R&D and diagnostic tools — from ELISA kits for immunogenicity and pharmacokinetics to custom antibodies and recombinant proteins — to support research workflows across the biotechnology ecosystem. (LinkedIn)
Bridging Science and Application
While institutions like IVRI focus on basic and applied research, translating innovations into field-ready solutionsoften requires partnerships with biotech firms capable of scaling reagents, assays, and analytical platforms.
Take antibody development as an example: custom monoclonal antibodies can accelerate assay development timelines from months to weeks, enabling faster diagnostic implementation. Moreover, outsourcing such development to expert partners reduces infrastructure burdens and accelerates time to market — a critical factor in animal health research where disease outbreaks can spread rapidly.

Partnerships in biotech not only enhance research capacity but also contribute to India’s broader goals for scientific self-reliance and global competitiveness.
Case Study
Across India, collaborations between academic and industry entities are producing rapid advancements. For instance, rapid antigen detection kits developed at educational institutions demonstrate the potential of research-led innovation when complemented by technical support and scalable platforms.
