- 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.
