Professional and Outreach Activities
I have been contributing to Poultry and Animal Science societies with our updated knowledge of Nutritional Physiology. I have been collaborating for my research with Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, USA, and State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau, Indonesia. Recently a Prof. from Georgia Univ. a Prof. from Agril Univ. of Athens showed their interest in collaborating with my lab on heat stress studies. .
