National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology
The National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (NIANP) is actively engaged in research to improve the economic value of milk by increasing its fat content. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance milk quality and thus its market value.
Important Events
Under the leadership of Dr. Artabandhu Sahoo, NIANP is undertaking a study that focuses on the ideal composition of milk. According to Dr. Sahoo, the target is to achieve milk with 13 percent total solids, including a base of 4 percent milk fat. The institute has formed a collaboration with the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) to conduct field trials. These trials are designed to validate nutritional strategies under commercial conditions, ensuring practical applicability and economic feasibility.
Company Plans
The partnership with KMF highlights NIANP's commitment to translating scientific research into real-world applications. The field trials aim to test and confirm the effectiveness of specific nutritional strategies, with the goal of implementing them on a larger scale if successful.
