section was changed to Department of Animal Nutrition. Since its
inception department has significantly contributed in solving
field problems. It has played a pivotal role in providing the
trained man power in the field of Animal Nutrition and met the
demand of poultry feed industry. It has produced more than 350

At present,
department has two specialized disciplines i.e. poultry
Nutrition and Ruminant Nutrition. The Discipline of Human
Nutrition is going to be initiated very soon. Two projects are

various funding agencies. The department is carrying out
commercial activities of provision of feed analysis facility and
sale of feed supplements to the farmers. Mission of the
