The
zoo is equipped with a hospital ,quarantine block and a feed store
to cater to the needs of the animals.
An assistant
surgeon takes care of the hospital which is stocked with medicines
for the day to day care of the animals. He is supported by one
assistant too. If they are any animal mortalities , the carcasses
are subjected to a post-mortem examination to determine the exact
cause of death and if the cause of death is preventable, necessary
steps are taken to prevent further deaths.

Newly
acquired animals are first kept in the quarantine block and after
the confirmation that they are free of any disease and only after
they are fully acclimatized to captivity , they are let into their
respective enclosures. The quarantine block is also useful in isolation
of any sick animals which maybe affected by an infectious disease. |
| The
entire feed requirement of the zoo each day , is received at the
feed store,thoroughly checked and cleaned . It is distributed to
the various enclosures as per the schedule under the watchful eye
of a zoo sergeant. |

The
fodder requirement of the zoo is usually met from outside sources
, but fodder plots are raised in the zoo to meet the exigencies.
The vast area and water resources available with zoo, permit to
the raising of good fodder plots. Fruits like papaya are also grown
here to be given as a diet supplement to the primates and other
animals. |
| Shelters
have been provided at some places in the zoo to give the perfect
ambience for the tired visitor to rest, after going through the
lengthy stretches. These shelters also have been designed to go
with the mythological and cultural theme on which the zoo has been
built |
