Pramir Maharjan

Pramir Maharjan serves as an Assistant Professor and Extension Poultry Specialist in the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at Tennessee State University's College of Agriculture, focusing on poultry production research and extension services since joining the staff in January 2022.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Poultry Science, University of Arkansas
• MS in Poultry Science, University of Arkansas
• BS in Veterinary Science, Tribhuvan University

Dr. Maharjan's research program centers on poultry drinking water quality management and feed nutrient management to enhance flock health and productivity. His work investigates amino acid and energy nutrition dynamics, physiological mechanisms of emerging muscle myopathies like woody breast, feed additive efficacy, gut health impacts of non-starch polysaccharides, and innovative water sanitation strategies. His methodologies integrate in-vivo physiological measurements with molecular analyses to address critical industry challenges in sustainable poultry production.

His publication record (2015-2021) reveals consistent thematic focus on broiler nutrition-physiology interactions, with particular emphasis on energy-amino acid requirements, woody breast pathophysiology, and water system biofilm mitigation. The research demonstrates strong translational value through practical applications in feed formulation, water quality management, and disease prevention protocols.
