Md Salahuddin, Ph.D.
Research Specialist
Poultry Center, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, Prairie View A&M University
I am a poultry and animal nutrition scientist focused on sustainable poultry production, intestinal biology, gut health, and precision animal agriculture. My research spans chicken intestinal mucosa and enteroendocrine physiology, gut immunity and microbiota, molecular biology, sustainable feed additives, alternative feed ingredients, and multi-omics approaches. I also integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring, and computer vision into animal nutrition, feeding, health assessment, and management. By combining mechanistic biology with data-driven and emerging technologies, I aim to develop practical solutions that improve animal health, productivity, feeding efficiency, resilience, and environmental sustainability.
