Poultry production, management, nutrition, gut health and diseases.

In my current position as a professor at University of Duhok I teach poultry science, , poultry production, and poultry product technology. I have prepared many research proposals for recruiting master and PhD degree students and have ongoing practical research in the area poultry feeding and management under local conditions.

Currently, I am a lecturer at University of Duhok and consulting on behalf of the Kurdish government to improve local commercial broiler farms, feed mills and hatcheries using my strong background in poultry production, management, feed formulation, nutrition and gut health. As a result of my expertise, the Kurdistan Region’s poultry industry has dramatically increased by 50% over the past last five years. There are some 2,000 chicken farms in the Kurdistan Region, producing nearly 190 tons of meat annually. The Kurdish government has documented the opening of 338 new official poultry farms during that time plus about 300 unregistered ones. In cooperation with Kurdistan government I contribute to improve poultry sector by applying modern technologies. I wish to now take the next step and contribute on a more regional and/or global basis. During my PhD at University of New England – Australia I have produced 16 publications including 6 are refereed journal papers with one winning editor’s choice in Poultry Science. I have contributed to the insightful assessment of available feed additives as alternatives to antibiotics and their role on feed conversion and health of broiler chickens under necrotic enteritis challenge. I investigated and discovered the heat production dynamics of chickens under disease challenge conditions. In my work, effective alternatives to in-feed antibiotics in controlling necrotic enteritis were found. The additives improved gut integrity by increasing villus to crypt ratio, lowering luminal pH values and increasing levels of short chain fatty acids in the hindgut. In my current position as lecturer at University of Duhok I teach poultry science, poultry management, poultry production, poultry nutrition and poultry product technology. I have prepared many research proposals for recruiting master degree students and have ongoing practical research in the area poultry feeding and management under local conditions.

I frequently speaks at international conferences and participated in many international conferences. I have strong background in agricultural extension, helping farmers and breeders to improve their agricultural operations by using latest agricultural technology. He had worked with. currently, i am working at university of Duhok project which in- cultural restoration in Nineveh Plains
