I completed my PhD and Postdoctoral (Humboltd Fellow) study from University of Milano, Italy and University of Bonn, Germany in 2010 and 2013 respectively on acute phase proteins (disease biomarkers) in ruminants. When I came back, I started my research in dairy cows in Bangladesh. In 2015, I started a Swedish funded collaborative project on, “Development of udder health control program in dairy cows in Bangladesh with partnership among CVASU, Bangladesh, SVA, Sweden, UU and WUR, The Netherlands and completed on 2018. In 2019 we started another Swedish funded collaborative project on “Climate Change mitigation by a sustainable water buffalo dairy chain in Bangladesh” with partnership, CVASU, SAU, Bangladesh, SLU, SVA, Sweden, UU and WUR, the Netherlands, UniMi, Italy and completed successfully in 2024. Dairying is an important sector for Bangladesh in terms of fulfilling huge gaps between the demands and production of milk and youth employment opportunities. The dairy cows in Bangladesh are transforming from indigenous cows to cross-bred cows’ day by day to increase milk production. Due to the shortage of land, the rearing system is intensive also. These two situations are threatening our dairy development by several diseases and mastitis is the most important one. So, developing an udder health program is important to improve these situations for farmers’ profit, milk safety, and animal welfare. My research interests are udder health and milk quality in ruminants, and training of farmers to motivate them to produce safe milk through prudent use of antibiotics, hygienic milking, dry cow management to ensure consumers’ safety and to make farming a profitable business. In 2019 we founded udder health Bangladesh (UHB: https://uhb.org.bd/) to continuously support dairy farmers and train field veterinarians and advanced veterinary students. Based on our research findings, we have proposed a milk grading depending on the somatic cell count in milk and submitted the report to BSTI, BFSA, DLS, Bangladesh.
