Dr.Gurjot Kaur Mavi, ex Ph.D. student of the Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding, 
presently working as Research Fellow in the University has been conferred the “International Best Researcher Award in Animal Genetics and Breeding” for her Ph.D. research work completed under the guidance of Dr P P Dubey, also recipient of this award for his contribution. The research work was based on “Characterization of Fertility Associated Sperm Proteins in Aseel and Rhode Island Red Chicken Breeds” co-authored by Dr(s) P P Dubey, Ranjna S Cheema, and B.K Bansal. The work identifies the potential protein based fertility biomarker in chicken which may help to reduce the maintenance cost of large number of male birds through early selection and enhance the genetic improvement in poultry. The award ceremony was organized by the 'International Journal for Research Under Literal Access' (IJRULA) in association with World Research Council (WRC) and United Medical Council at Trichy, Tamil Nadu where more than 200 delegates from different countries attended the event.
