Biography
Veerasamy Sejian, M.V.Sc & PhD., is a Principal Scientist at ICAR-National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (NIANP), Bangalore, India. His major thrust area of research is on “Climate Change and Livestock Production” and handled seven projects in this field. Dr Sejian is the team leader which established the concept of “Multiple stresses impacting small ruminant production in the changing climate scenario”. His current research is focused on identifying molecular markers for different environmental stresses in small ruminants with the primary focus to develop agro-ecological zone specific thermo-tolerant breeds. Dr Sejian has published 149 peer reviewed research/review articles, 85 book chapters, 220 invited/lead papers, 155 conference papers and 19 technical manuals. Further, Dr Sejian also published three International Springer books. His h-index is 33 and i10 index is 91. His total citation is 3532.
