Awati finished his bachelor´s program in Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry at the KNP College of Veterinary Science, now part of Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University in India. He continued his master’s education under International Master’s program in Animal Science at the University of Wageningen with major focus on nutritional immunology. He managed to complete two master theses: The first one on nutrition and immunology in broilers and the second one on in-vitro digestion model development for cats.

After his graduation, he worked on an EU-project called “Healthy Pig Gut” at the University of Wageningen in which at least 10 universities and research institutes across Europe were involved to develop strategies to replace in-feed antibiotics. The focus of his PhD thesis was to generate strategies to use fermentable carbohydrates as prebiotics in weaning piglet nutrition.

In his professional career, he worked several years for a leading company in animal nutrition and animal production industry, and gathered profound scientific and practical experiences in the development and application of feed additives in animal nutrition.

“He will be a great addition to the team and together we’ll continue to enter the global feed enzyme business,” Klausing concludes.
