Exhibit Halls

JA Solis Museum of Veterinary Anatomy

The Dr. Jose A. Solis Veterinary Anatomy Exhibit Hall, or Anatomy Museum, was conceptualized and envisioned for viewers to discover and appreciate the science of gross anatomy and embryology.It was named after the late anatomist and former faculty of the then Department of Veterinary Anatomy, Dr. Jose A. Solis. The exhibit hall contains preserved specimens of selected terrestrial and aquatic animals, particularly skeletons, abnormal embryos or fetuses, and normal microscopic structures of some organs. In addition, the collection includes several mounted skeletons of domestic animals and bones which were transferred from the UP Diliman Campus when CVM moved to UP Los Baños in 1984. Additional equine foot exhibits were donated by former histologist and embryologist Dr. Cesario Zamora. Currently, there are eleven (11) glass cabinets housing rare specimens, including those of fetuses and malformations. Mounted skeletons of a tiger, a dolphin, stuffed birds, and other anatomical specimens were recently acquired, one of which is the mounted skeleton of the Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) donated by the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF). The skulls of the Philippine crocodile and the Palawan crocodile from the Palawan Wildlife Reserve Center will also be a part of the collection soon. The Dr. Jose A. Solis Museum has been a popular site to visit for kindergarten, elementary, high school and University students from not just from neighboring schools but also those institutions located in nearby cities and towns. It is envisioned that an audiovisual, where visitors can view special videos of interest, will be placed adjacent to the Museum.

Parasite Collection and Reference Center

The Parasite Collection and Reference Center (PCRC) was built in July 1995 through the efforts of former dean Dr. Mauro F. Manuel and the faculty of the then Department of Veterinary Parasitology and Protozoology. It houses the College’s collection of parasites such as helminthes, arthropods and protozoa, and a number of other invertebrates that serve as intermediate hosts of some of these parasites. It also displays a collection of parasites of domestic and wild animals in the country. Likewise, it holds parasitological literature donated by the late National Scientist and foremost Filipino parasito-logists Dr. Carmen C. Velasquez, and former dean Dr. Lope M. Yutuc, among others. Through the Center, the College hopes to promote interest and knowledge of parasitology and host-parasite relationship, and generate and disseminate information on parasites present in the country, including their identification and systematic classification, prevention and control. PCRC is envisioned to eventually become a National Parasite Collection and Reference Center.
