Dr. S. Ghatak Principal Scientist and Head Veterinary Public Health : : Sandeep.Ghatak@icar.gov.in |
The Division of Animal and Fisheries Sciences (DAFS) was formed in the year 2021 by merging three previously existing divisions of the institute viz., Division of Livestock Production, Division of Animal Health and Division of Fisheries. The main objective of the division is to promote health and productivity of domestic animals and fishes through basic, applied and strategic research to bring sustainable development and self-reliance in the livestock and fisheries sector of Northeastern India. The Division is collaborating with the animal and fisheries scientists of six regional centers of the institute located in Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, |
Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura who are coordinating with the respective state governments. The division is also continuously providing technical help and other consultancy services to all the stakeholders of the region. Keeping pace with International developments made in the subject as well as looking into regional (NER) priorities, significant contributions have been made through a number of research projects undertaken in different areas of animal breeding, reproduction, nutrition, husbandry and management practices, economically important animal, zoonotic and foodborne diseases, antimicrobial resistance, transboundary animal diseases, conservation of animal and fish genetic resources, nanotechnology, quality fish seed production, development of diagnostics, food safety, climate resilient technologies, value addition and development of livestock and fish products, ornamental fish breeding and rearing, supply chain management, non-conventional feed for livestock, poultry and fish, etc.
