Biography

Dr. Faisal Hussnain is working as a Assistant Professor in the Department of Poultry Production, University of Veterinary and Animal Science, Lahore-Pakistan since May 13, 2015. He completed his BS (Hons.) Poultry Science (2008-12) from University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore with distinction (Gold Medal). After his BS (Hons.), he worked as Quality Assurance Intern in Season’s Foods (Pvt.) Ltd. and afterward as a Teaching Assistant in the Department of Poultry Production (2012-13). During his M. Phil Poultry Production (2012-14), he worked on Effect of different rearing systems and mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) supplemented-diets on carcass cut-up and meat sensory traits in separate sex reared broilers under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Muhammad Akram. He also worked as a Research Assistant in the research project Development of meat type Japanese Quail with higher body weight (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) acclimatized to indigenous managemental conditions through 6 generations of Selective breeding Programme at Avian Research and Training Centre, UVAS Lahore. In his Ph.D. Poultry Production (2019), he worked on Carcass quality and physiological response of broilers affected by crating, transportation and climatic indices under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Athar Mahmud. Dr. Faisal Hussnain also worked as a Team Member in Developing PC-1 for the HEC funded project Enhancement of Research Facilities at University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences (UVAS), Ravi Campus Pattoki.
Besides his curricular activities, he is also an active athlete and won several medals in athletic competitions in University Sports. He also got 3rd position in “Scientific Poster Competition” at International Poultry Expo-2013 among researchers of all veterinary universities/ institutes. He was also awarded the “Best Organizer Award” from Pakistan Poultry Association for managing International Poultry Expo (IPEX-2018). Presently, he is working as a QEC Focal person, In-Charge of Egg Quality Lab, and Resident Tutor (Qasim Hall). He is also dealing with UVAS-PPA School meal program in which eggs and drumsticks are being provided to school-going children daily. He is also actively participating in different consumer education campaigns regarding poultry and poultry products.
