MS degree awarded …Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

Five (05) MS fellows (Shaharier Ahmed, Haphsa Khanom, Atika Anjum, Esrat Zahan Etti and Tarisha Maknoon) received their MS degree from this department. Students got hands on skill on molecular techniques, field and laboratory experience using marine fish at marine fish hatchery. Thanks to the supervisors, co-supervisors, department teachers, staff and senior/junior fellows for their continuous support. Special thanks to Dr Md Shahjahan sir, Bangladesh Agricultural University for his invaluable support.
Department wishes their brilliant future. Hope they will have a smooth journey in shaping their careers and can contribute to the nation.

Our recent research on pepsin as an effective enzyme to improve feed utilization, digestibility, blood physiology, and water quality by effective utilization of proteins in the supplementary diets in pangas. Further studies required about gene expression and growth-related parameters in other species to make a complete conclusion about pepsin supplementation in diets. For details please follow the links...

Digestive enzymes are the key regulators in the assimilation and metabolism of food intake. Multiple enzymes, amino acids and probiotics have been est…
