Biography

M. Afzal Rashid has been with UVAS since 2012, and currently working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Nutrition. He holds a DVM (1999-2003: UVAS Lahore) and Ph.D. in Animal Nutrition (2013: UVAS-Lahore). Under the HEC IRSIP fellowship program, he spent around 10 months in SDSU and completed experiments on Holstein calves. His area of interest is calf nutrition and management with an emphasis on early weaning and rumen development in Buffalo and cattle calves; as well as evaluation of alternative feed resources to reduce the cost of feeding in dairy animals and fattening. His interest in small ruminants has allowed him to work on growth rates of fattening lambs and bucks. He has been involved in teaching undergraduate and post-graduate theory and practical classes. He is involved in the establishment of a modern Nutrition Laboratory in Pattoki. Apart from his academic activities, he is also engaged in extension work and is working with Nutrition Focus Group (ASLP), NAP, and conducted several farmer training programs.

Dr. M. A. Rashid has authored 59 publications, 1 extension booklet, 4 popular press publications, 5 abstracts, and 4 extension articles. With regard to supervision, he has overseen 4 Ph.D. and 30 M. Phil. students, acting as primary supervisor for 15 and as a committee member for the remaining 15.

AREA OF INTEREST:

  1. Calf and heifer Nutrition
  2. Small ruminant and beef fattening
  3. Alternative feed resources for livestock
  4. Straw based total mixed rations for ruminants
