West Bengal, India. · Government Veterinarian
I am Dr. Indrajit Bera, a serving government veterinarian with a master’s degree in poultry science and practical experience in clinical canine nutrition & therapeutics. This is where I share field-tested, literature-backed guidance on feed formulation, flock health and home-prepared dog diets.
Qualifications
B.V.Sc. & A.H. · M.V.Sc.
Two fields, one standard of evidence
Poultry
From least-cost ration design and mycotoxin control to body-weight curves, lighting programmes and structured field postmortem work for broiler, layer and backyard flocks.

Canine
Energy estimation, calcium to phosphorus balance, life-stage planning and body condition scoring, so home cooking for dogs becomes a designed diet rather than a guess.

Every recommendation shared here is filtered through two questions: does the published evidence support it, and does it survive contact with a real farm or household in India?

In their words
“The feed audit gave us a clear picture of where our cost was going. Our conversion ratio improved within two cycles, and we finally understood why.”
“The homemade diet plan for our Labrador was explained step by step, with measurements and a review schedule. No guesswork left.”
“The training session translated dense nutrition science into something our field staff could apply the very next morning.”
