Mukti Barua graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and completed MS in Animal Science from Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU), Bangladesh. Currently, she is a doctoral fellow at Monogastric Research Centre, School of Agriculture and Environment, Massey University, New Zealand with research focusing on "Ileal amino acid digestibility in broiler chicken at different ages". She received clinical training from Madras Veterinary College, Veterinary College and Research Institute of Tamilnadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, India during her graduation. Due to her outstanding academic performances, she was awarded scholarship by Bangladesh Scholarship Council which was funded by Nippon Foundation, Japan. 

Mukti joined as a Lecturer in the Department of Animal Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, CVASU (2015) and later promoted as an Assistant Professor (2017). She worked as a Research Associate for one year (funded by University Grants Commission /UGC, Bangladesh) in a project entitled “Effect of fish oil on performance, serum lipid profile and coccidiosis prevention in broiler” before joining as a faculty. 

Due to her immense interest in research, she is involved with different research works besides teaching.  She is passionate in research related to poultry nutrition and diseases. Her research area also covers “One Health” linking human, animal and ecosystem health.
