History Of the Department
The Department of Poultry Science employs a multidisciplinary approach to teaching, research, and extension. One of the primary goals of the Department of Poultry Science is to provide practical exposure to stimulate academic achievement for students and to prepare them to compete and excel in a changing world. The Department of Poultry Science provides outstanding practical exposure for students, farmers, unemployed youth, women, semiliterate and the general public through the discovery, verification and dissemination of relevant, science based knowledge. Be ready “A Poultry Career is waiting for you”.
The Department of Poultry Science was established in the year 2001. Since the department was lead by Dr. S.M Mandlekar in the capacity of Associate Professor of Poultry Science till 2005. The college began offering specialized postgraduate study in the Poultry Sciences from 2002. After That, Dr. B.R Kolte is leading the Department as Professor & Head of the Department of Poultry Science From till 2015. Presently, Dr M.M. Kadam is head of department since 2015. The department has a Poultry farm with one Broiler Experimental Unit, Layer house, Hatchery unit, Feed Godown etc to cater the need of under graduate and post graduates research programme. Since inception of Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Science University in 2000, students are enrolled for master degree in the discipline of Poultry Science. The department is proud of the fact that most post graduates entered in poultry professions after successful completion of their master program. Also the Phd programme is started in department from 2015.

POULTRY RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTER
PRTC is a renowned center in India. It was established in the year 1961 on a small scale. Major expansion of the PRTC happened in 2009. Currently the PRTC has the capacity for producing eggs, broiler and quails. However the vision is to give practical exposure to undergraduate and post graduate students of Department of poultry Science to cater the need of industry and rural poultry.
PRTCLOCATION
The Poultry Research and Training Center (PRTC) is located near futala lake, Telangkhedi, Nagpur. Approximate distance of PRTC is 1.6 km away from the Nagpur Veterinary college campus.
OUR MISSION
The PRTC provide facility for teaching, research and extension activity. Moreover it involved in training program especially for unemployed youth, women and farmers.
