About Bengaluru
Bengaluru (previously known as Bangalore) is the capital
city of South Indian state Karnataka. It is one of the world's
fastest growing cosmopolitan cities and is well known as hub
of Indian IT sector. It is amongst the top 10 preferred
entrepreneurial locations in the world, and has some of the
India's premier scientific establishments and many well
recognized educational and research institutions.
A
demographically diverse city, Bengaluru is a major
economic and cultural hub and the second fastest growing
major metropolis in India.
The Kempegowda international airport in Bengaluru has
many direct international flights and is well networked with
all the major places across the globe. The ICAR-NIANP
institute is located in the heart of city and 39 km away from
the international airport, takes around 45 minutes to reach
institute without any hassle. For transportation from airport to
NIANP, post paid air conditioned Cab and State Transport
buses are available.
The weather in August month is generally pleasant with
sporadic rainfall on few days. Day time is bit hot, maximum
temperature reaches up to 28˚C while nights are generally
cold (~19˚C).
institute is conducting fundamental and basic research with
an aim to improve productive and reproductive efficiency
of livestock through nutritional, physiological and
environmental interventions. The institute is well equipped
with state of art laboratories to undertake the research in
various emerging thrust areas related to livestock
production and climate change. ICAR-NIANP is an ISO
9001:2008 certified institute to cater to the needs of various
stake holders by well trained and experienced scientists. For
detailed information about the institute please visit our
website www.nianp.res.in
The Training
Climate change is one of the major challenges which needs
to be addressed on priority due to its negative impact on the
livelihood of poor people especially in developing
countries. Greenhouse gases (GHGs), due to their high
warming potential, are recognized as one of the major
causes for global surface temperature increase. The
contribution of livestock to the total GHG emissions is
substantial. Livestock emit 103 Tg methane, wherein Indian
livestock generate 8-10 Tg. Of the total emissions from the
livestock sector, methane constitutes about 44% of the total
emission and the remaining is equally shared between N2O
and CO2.
The enteric methanogenesis revolves around the
fermentative H2 production in rumen, where it is utilized for
the reduction of CO2 into CH4. Methanogenesis is an
obligatory but wasteful process for the host animal to survive
and that is why complete inhibition is neither advisable nor
practically feasible.
For mitigating the enteric methane emission, our focus
should be on improving the fermentative H2 utilization
through other beneficial reductive pathways, targeting
methanogens or other H2 utilizing microbes which are
responsible for interspecies H2 transfer.
About the Institute
ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology
(NIANP) is a premier research institute under the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi. The
This training programme has been designed for the
researchers from the countries of South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation (SAARC) and African Union, and is a
mix of a series of lectures and practical demonstrations.
Information, knowledge and expertise on methane
production and measurements will be shared by experts.
Practical demonstration on methane measurement using in
vitro and in vivo techniques will also be provided. In
addition, this training workshop will cover strategies to
mitigate GHG emissions from the livestock sector and to
adapt animals to the ongoing climate changes.
The course content will be covered under four major
segments, namely Methane production, Methane
estimation, Methane amelioration and Stress & adaptation.
