Dr. Jannatara Khatun is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science and Nutrition, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, kulshi, Chittagong. She was born in Khulna, Bangladesh on 10 February 1972. She holds a PhD in Animal Nutrition from University Putra Malaysia. She has completed her secondary and higher secondary school education from Kumira Girl’s High School and Shatkhira Government College, Bangladesh, respectively. She pursued her graduation in Bachelor of Science (B Sc) in Animal Husbandry (Hons) in 1996 with First Class (1st Position) and Master of Science (MS) in Animal Nutrition in 1998 with First Class from Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh . 

She has received multiple awards including that of merit from the Bangladesh Agriculture University Mymensing for securing ʺFirst position Awards’’ in her Graduation..In 2013 she was awarded OWSD scholarship , Trieste, Italy to pursue her Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Nutrition.  She also received Best Presenter Award at the 4th International Conference on Green Technology, 26th-28th January, 2018, Singapore.

Her professional career started as a scientific officer at Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute in 1998 where her main work was to conduct research on Poultry Nutrition and Management. Later on as a Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) officer, she joined as a lecturer for 1 year at Officers Training Institute, Savar Dhaka, Bangladesh. Then she moved to Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University as an Assistant Professor and promoted to Professor in 2010. In February, 2019 Dr. Jannatara Khatun became the Dean of Faculty of Food Science and Technology, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Bangladesh where she is serving in the same position till date. During this time she had carried out 07 research projects as a principal investigator (PI) and 05 research projects as co-investigator (COPI). 

 Her most impressive project was on identification salt tolerant fodder production in Noakhali, Bangladesh which was most promising and time needing project. The project was in collaboration with other non-Government organization (NGO) and funded by DANIDA (Danish fund). She has conducted many training to the NGOS and farmers on fodder production and Animal feeding and Management. In addition, several students in her university obtained their MS degree through this project. She has completed Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate training from New Zealand and Denmark respectively. 

Moreover she has attended several conferences in Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore. So far she has published 40 research publications in different national and international journal. Her current research interest is identify different feed additive for Boiler and Layer diet to increase performance, improve meat quality and enhance immune response.
