Department of Dairy and Poultry Science | Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University

Department of Dairy and Poultry Sciences

The Department of Dairy and Poultry Sciences (DDPS) was established in 1996 with an aim to provide teaching, quality research and extension activities, under the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of CVASU. Two different disciplines, Dairy Science and Poultry Science have been working together since its inception for offering variety of courses to the students of undergrad and postgrad level of this university. The courses are designed for giving special focus on production and improvement of livestock in addition to quality assurance of dairy and poultry products in order to fulfill consumer demand. It is considered as one of the most promising and a leading department for the production subjects to provide quality education and cutting-edge research program for the students of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Food Science. The courses of this department are specially designed for the students to provide them opportunity about dairy, poultry, pet and small ruminant production, beef cattle, and draft power production, manufacturing processes of dairy and poultry food products, quality control of meat, egg, milk and other food products, improved farming mechanism and management practices, research focusing on dairy and poultry animals, marketing of products at the both undergrad and postgrad level. The understanding of dairy and poultry farm management, their modern production strategies, enhancing milk, meat and egg production , rendering cutting-edge research program, consulting services are the main focuses of this department. The teaching strategy focuses on both theoretical and practical approaches via delivering lecture in the classes and hands on practices in the farm or lab, demonstration of farm animals and their handling and restraining mechanism under this program. Apart from teaching and research, faculties of this department also engaged with public and extension services and other extracurricular activities. The department is also providing technical and consultancy services to different national and private organizations, farmers and stakeholders, who are working in the field of dairy and poultry production, through training programs and direct consultancy. We are currently allocating total course credits 21 of 900 marks for the students of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and only 7 credits of 350 marks offering to the students of Faculty of Food Science and Technology from this department at the undergrad level. This department also offers Masters and PhD in Dairy & Poultry Sciences, respectively, where the students have an opportunity of uplifting their knowledge, skill, innovative idea, in the discipline of Dairy, Poultry, and other relevant field of livestock and agricultural research. For the master in Poultry Science, we have allocated 1600 marks of credit 40, similar marks and credit are also assigned for conducting master degree in Dairy Science for the postgrad student. The PhD program is also offering from this department in either discipline i.e Dairy or Poultry Sciences separately, and this program is designed for three years. The department is located on the 1st floor of Yusuf Chowdhury Bhaban, where we have well-equipped laboratory facilities for conducting research and other academic activities for the students and faculties.

Message from Head

First of all, I would like to welcome you all to visit our DDPS of CVASU, Khulshi, Chattogram, Bangladesh. Since its inception in 1996, the department has been working actively and jointly to offer degrees on DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and B.Sc. (Hons.) in Food Science & Technology at the undergrad level. Apart from this, we are pleased to inform you that, currently we are offering post graduate degrees on the masters (M.S in Dairy Science; M.S in Poultry Science) and doctorates (Ph.D in Dairy Science, Ph.D in Poultry Science) levels separately from this department as well. Moreover, we think our department is very unique and deemed to be a centre of excellence for offering education, teaching, research, training and other consultancy services to the students, farmers, stake-holders regarding the Dairy & Poultry and Sciences related activities.

I must appreciate or encourage highly the dairy and poultry and farmers, entrepreneurs, integrators, feed miller companies, drug manufacturing companies, NGO or GO partners, foreign donors and so on, who agree to undertake collaborative research works and other activities with the department. After all, I am happy with my current faculty members of the department, who are very bright, sincere, dutiful, competent, skilled, industrious, punctual, ambitious, experienced and enthusiastic in teaching, research and education. On the behalf of our faculties and staff, I do hope that the department is always committed to meet your expectation and demand, where you will find a cutting-edge, modern and updated technology that you could expect and utilize for the Dairy and Poultry activities.

The department has well-equipped laboratories and farming facilities, where Dairy and Poultry research activities at the post-graduation levels can be conducted successfully by applying state- of- the- art, basic, classical techniques, and improved technology. We are always committed for the greater interest and welfare of the country by providing competent students, skilled manpower, proper education, cutting-edge technology and quality research in the field of Dairy and Poultry Sciences.

We would be happy if you visit our website, and must appreciate if you have any queries, information and suggestions regarding our existing education, teaching, research and other activities. Moreover, for any further comments or quest regarding ours and the department itself, I, on the behalf of the departmental staff, welcome you all to let us know via our e-mail at mahossain@cvasu.ac.bd. We would certainly evaluate your remarks, suggestions, advices, thoughts, views, ideas, and feedback to prepare ourselves for uplifting ours and our country.

Thanks to all who care and share with us.
