Senior Research Assistant | College of Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Kamdhenu University | India
Dr. Kandarp Chaudhary is an emerging researcher specializing in Veterinary & Animal Husbandry Extension with a core research focus on livestock nutrition, sustainable feeding systems, animal health management, and extension approaches to improve farmers’ knowledge and productivity. His work particularly explores the utilization of herbal feed supplements, animal welfare practices, and socio-psychological aspects influencing adoption behavior among livestock owners, while his developing research interests include evidence-based extension strategies, dairy hygiene improvement, and welfare-centric livestock farming for rural economic development. As a Senior Research Assistant in Veterinary & Animal Husbandry Extension, he has actively contributed to field-based research, livestock husbandry training programs, and on-farm trials aimed at improving animal productivity and health outcomes. Throughout his career, Dr. Chaudhary has significantly contributed to research on the impact of Moringa oleifera leaves as a natural growth promoter in goat kids, and his studies on herbal galactagogues including Shatavari, Jivanti, and Methi have provided scientific insights for enhancing milk yield in ruminants, offering a viable alternative to chemical-based productivity enhancers. His work assessing barn sanitation, animal hygiene practices in dairy systems, and students’ attitudes toward veterinary careers further supports institutional decision-making and policy-oriented training development. Dr. Chaudhary’s publications, with growing scholarly citations, continue to support knowledge transfer in livestock nutrition, extension education, and welfare-focused animal management. His contributions extend to disease awareness in exotic birds and pigmentation studies in domestic animals, promoting better clinical observation and management practices. His research vision is directed toward strengthening sustainable livestock systems, optimizing the use of natural feed resources, and enhancing farmer-centric advisory frameworks through scientific extension methodologies. By developing practical solutions and knowledge-based interventions, he aims to support healthier herds, farmer livelihood upliftment, and a resilient livestock sector, positioning his work as an asset to science-based rural development and future industry innovation. With his ongoing dedication to impactful research, publication, and capacity-building initiatives, Dr. Chaudhary continues to work toward improved productivity, welfare-friendly husbandry, and greater accessibility of scientific knowledge to farming communities and livestock professionals globally.
