Brief Bio

Doctorate in animal science, with special emphasis on dromedary camel as a potential dairy animal, I have almost 20 years practical experience with the camels in one or another way. Since 2014, I'm solely working with a camel dairying entity in the world's first commercial camel dairy, Alain Abu Dhabi UAE. I'm a camel dairy professional, both by training and experience. In my philosophy, the camel is a magical biological model coping with the warming planet while producing health-promising milk and meat. I have training and experience in livestock ecosystem rehabilitation to revitalize the depleted ecosystems because of any reason. I have acquired precious modern and traditional knowledge of sustainable livestock production and able to provide simple solutions for complicated problems. A strong affiliation with nature, believing in climate change adaptation and sustainability excels me from other fellow scientists. I have documented a few native livestock breeds and have reported their potential production performance in a climate change scenario.
