Parsa brings extensive experience in enhancing animal health and farm performance to the Agriculture Technology Department at UFV.
After completing his PhD in Poultry Science in Tehran, he relocated to Belgium to expand his research on intestinal health at the Division of Animal and Human Health Engineering at KU Leuven. He continued his research focusing on nutritional immunology at the University of Alberta with his move to Edmonton in 2018.
Over the past 12 years, Parsa has worked in various roles, including project manager, poultry specialist, technical manager, and independent consultant. He has conducted multiple farm trials for Canadian companies, testing the effects of feed additives on poultry and livestock performance in British Columbia.
Having lived in several cities and traveled to many countries, Parsa has gained valuable insights into diverse cultures and enjoys interacting with people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
He is deeply passionate about imparting his experience and knowledge, and is eager to inspire UFV students as they shape their future careers and achieve lasting success.
"I went into the Agriculture Technology Diploma not knowing where I wanted to end up in the agriculture industry. UFV's courses on production animal nutrition and health sparked an interest in the feed industry for me."
