Biography:
Tariq shah (Ph.D. Microbiology). My research focused on gut microbiota 1. In vitro lab work 2. Animal experiments on Tibetan yaks (wild and domesticated) 3. Human trials (uncompleted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, initially planned at the University of Texas, America. I am eager to collaborate with authorities to complete this study. Currently working on silage-making with medicinal plants and In vitro and in vivo experiments on sheep gut microbiota to enhance its health and productivity.
