Dr. Muhammad Ashraf, Ph.D.

Department:  Faculty of Veterinary Science, Institute of Microbiology

Position:  Associate Professor

HEC Approved Supervisor:  NO

Research Intersts:  At a time, the acute shortage of food is not the concern of individual countries. In Pakistan, the poultry industry has emerged as a good substitute of beef and mutton. In poultry industry, antibiotics are being used lavishly as prophylactics, therapeutics and growth promoters causing not only serious problems in poultry but also leaving behind harmful residual effects in meat and eggs. So the need to find suitable replacements is evident. Probiotics are a prospective alternative to substitute antibiotics not only in the production of poultry but also to treat many infections in human beings. Probiotics are live microbial feed supplement, which have beneficial effects on host animal due to improvement in its microbial balance of intestines. My current interests are to isolate probiotic organisms form indigenous sources and to evaluate them in poutry for better production, to prevent diseases and to isolate antibacterial and antifungal substances from these organisms to be used in biopreservation.
