Dear Viewers,
It is a privilege and honour to be associated with the National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (NIANP) - a premier institution under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), mandated to conduct basic and fundamental research in the area of animal nutrition and animal physiology.
The Institute is presently handling 48 projects including 16 externally funded in frontier areas like molecular biology, nanotechnology, value addition, lignin biodegradation, climate change and reproductive biology to address the issue of enhancing livestock productivity and sustainability. With its state of the art infrastructure and well-conceptualized laboratories, the Institute has made significant contribution in feeding and management and some of its technologies have reached the end-users bringing in economic prosperity and livelihood security. It would be my endeavour to take the Institute to greater heights by involving the entire team of scientists and staff in the process and providing excellent research environment.
It is my pleasure to present the website of the Institute, which would be a platform to guide you through the major happenings in the Institute. We would be extremely happy to receive any suggestions from you in improving the website so as to enhance its usefulness to the browsers.

As part of extension education, the institute has Institute Village Linkage Programme under which the scientists of the institute visit the adopted villages for educating farmers on aspects like farm animal nutrition, reproduction, management practices and animal production and for testing and refining the technologies developed at the institute.
