Dr. Asif Javaid is Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Nutrition, Faculty of Animal Production and Technology, Cholistan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Bahawalpur–Pakistan. He has completed his B.Sc. (Hons.) Animal Husbandry in 2000 from Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Dr. Asif Javaid has earned M.Sc. (Hons.) in Animal Nutrition and PhD in Animal Nutrition from the Institute of Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. In his Doctorate studies, he has determined best ruminally degradable to undegradable protein ratio for production and reproduction of Buffaloes. He has written thirty-seven peer reviewed research papers in well-known scientific journals with good impact factor. Dr. Asif Javaid has also presented his scientific work in international conference. His research interest areas are impact of ruminally degradable and undegradable protein ratio on the production as well as reproduction of ruminants especially dairy animals and nutritional evaluation as well as utilization of non-conventional feedstuffs in ruminant animals. Dr. Asif Javaid has served as Lecturer and Assistant professor in the Institute of Animal Nutrition and Feed Technology, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad for 6 years. He has also served as Teacher in Animal Nutrition, Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan for one and half year.
