Profile Overview

FieldDetails
QualificationB.V.Sc., M.V.Sc., PhD
Date of Joining NRCPApril, 2023
AboutGraduated from the Veterinary College, Bengaluru, under Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University (KVAFSU), Bidar, Karnataka, with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry (BVSc & AH) degree. I completed my MVSc in Animal Nutrition from ICAR – NDRI, Karnal, where my research focused on the “Effect of feed additives on in vitro rumen fermentation kinetics, in vivo feed utilization, and milk production efficiency in crossbred cows.” Subsequently, I obtained my PhD from ICAR – IVRI, Izatnagar, with a research topic titled “Nutrigenomic evaluation of dietary zinc in rats and goats under heat stress conditions.” I have practical experience working as a Veterinary Officer in the Animal Husbandry Department under the Government of Karnataka for two years. After that, I was selected as a Scientist through the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Examination-2021 in ICAR. Area of specialization: Mineral nutrition, Feed additives, Nutritional management of heat stress condition in animals, Precision nutrition
