Dear Sir,
Possessing a progressive career track record of nearing twenty years from the year 2001 in the GCC countries with intensive dairy farm/clinical and surgical large animal experience, my career objective is to be a part of any organization/farm that upkeeps the global standard of animal health that in turn contributes to the public health of the community.
Summary of professional skills:
Exemplary knowledge on all facets of intensive dairy farming, dairy cattle treatment and calf management.
Brilliant and immensely knowledgeable clinical veterinary surgeon of dairy cattle and neonate diseases specialization.
Excellent epidemiological knowledge about various infectious/non infectious diseases of veterinary and public health importance.
Developed and succeeded in infectious disease control with a unique and competent vaccination regimen.
Great working knowledge of farm biosecurity, population/herd medicine and veterinary obstetrics & gynecology along with special focus in controlling mortality among replacement stock.
Thorough strength in leading a dairy veterinary team for best results in terms of controlling the calf hood diseases and up keeping the herd health and breeding with diligent implementation and follow up.
Specially developed skills to teach, train and implement farm standard operation protocols to the farm employees- Knowledge transferable skills.
Nearing two decades of intense clinical experience both in farm management of dairy cattle and in farm with multiple species of livestock/ungulates with an added advantage of work experience in an academic institution / research experience. (Sultan Qaboos University-SQU- Muscat).
Published several research articles in reputed journals and presented numerous scientific papers at several national and regional veterinary and food security conferences.
Proven ability to conduct epidemiological investigation/field level research on niche areas of farm operation or identifying the causatives of any herd health issue till final diagnosis.
Keeping an up-to-date knowledge on clinical and laboratory diagnostics and procedures.
Tremendous knowledge of the common clinical cases and regional related diseases, medical and surgical cases and their diagnosis.
Achieved consistently brilliant work records with all round abilities and always had a cutting edge over others by precise surgical skills on all the organizations I worked with. For example, performed a case of adult bovine rumen fistulation at SQU on February 2019 (Rumen cannulation on a Holstein cattle and successfully maintaining the cannula in place for a period of nearly 14 months and continuing in situ for a research project). Rumen cannulated cows can serve as donor of rumen fluid/transfaunation, this can be a big support in treating the sick cows.
Great fluency in spoken Arabic (equivalent to a native speaker proficiency) along with excellent spoken and written communication in English and with an added spoken fluency in several Indian languages.
My greatest personality strengths and the skills:
Knowledge transferable skills, self-reliance, fact-based thinking, and realistic thinking, assertiveness, work pace, frustration tolerance, optimism, sociability, criticism tolerance.
Energetic, enthusiastic, motivated, detail-oriented, arduous, honest, punctual, law-abiding, and delegating abilities.
In a nutshell, as an arduous professional with versatile surgical skills and ability to work independently or in a team, constantly updated/ reviewed the professional knowledge by research, practice and sharing.
