Threshold ranges of ambient temperature (thermo neutral zones) for Indian cattle(Tharparkar and Sahiwal, Zebu crosses (Karan Fries and Karan Swiss) and buffaloes beyond which stress initiated.
Developed methodology for alleviation of thermal stress.
Temperature Humidity Index (THI) were calculated for different locations of country and based on these values different THI zones were developed on Map Of India.
Developed a simplify methodology to monitor methane emission from fresh dung of cattle and buffaloes to estimate the otal emissions from dung.
Working on the aspects of Impact, Adaptation and Vulnerability of Indian Dairy production system to Climate Change.
Working on different aspects of Adaptation and facilitation of impending climatic changes in livestock through shelter management.
The modified coal furnaces were designed for calf housing system which significantly decreased the calf mortality during winter season.
