Dr. Anjali Aggarwal is working as a Senior Scientist at National
Dairy Research Institute, Karnal (India). She holds a PhD degree in
Animal Physiology and is involved in research and teaching at
post-graduate level. Her area of research work is stress and
environmental physiology. She has more than 50 publications, two
technical bulletins, four manuals and many book chapters to her
credit. She has successfully guided many post-graduate and PhD
students. Her major research accomplishments are on microclimatic
modification for alleviation of heat and cold stress, mist and fan
cooling systems for cows and buffaloes, and use of wallowing tank
in buffaloes. Her work involves the use of technology of
supplementing micronutrients during dry period and early lactation
to crossbred and indigenous cows for alleviating metabolic and
oxidative stress and improved health and productivity. Studies are
also done in her lab on partitioning of heat loss from skin and
pulmonary system of cattle and buffaloes as a result of exercise or
exposure to heat stress. Dr. R.C. Upadhyay is working as Head,
Dairy Cattle Physiology Division at National Dairy Research
Institute, Karnal (India). He graduated in Veterinary Sciences and
obtained his PhD degree in Animal Physiology. His area of recent
research is climate change, stress, and environmental physiology.
His major research accomplishment is on climate change impact
assessment of milk production and growth in livestock. His work
also involves studying methane conversion and emission factors for
Indian livestock and use of IPCC methodology of methane inventory
of Indian livestock. Heat shock protein-70 expression studies in
cattle and buffaloes are also done in his lab. Draught animal power
evaluation, fatigue assessment, work-rest cycle and work limiting
factors form the highlights of his work. Studies on partitioning of
heat loss from skin and pulmonary system of cattle and buffaloes
and electrocardiographic studies in cattle, buffalo, sheep and goat
are also undertaken in his lab. He has more than 75 research
papers, four books and several book chapters to his credit.
Technologies developed and research done by him include methodology
of methane measurement: open and closed circuit for cattle and
buffaloes; inventory of methane emission from livestock using IPCC
methodology; livestock stress index: thermal stress measurement
based on physiological functions; and draught power evaluation
system and large animal treadmill system. He received training in
Radio-nuclides in medicine at Australian School of Nuclear
Technology, Lucas heights, NSW, Australia in 1985 and Use of
radioisotopes in cardiovascular investigations at CSIRO, Prospect,
NSW, Australia, during 1985-86. He has guided several post-graduate
and PhD students. He is recipient of Hari Om Ashram Award-1990
(ICAR) for outstanding research in animal sciences.
