The Animal Nutrition Association (ANA) made its modest beginning in the year 1993 at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izatnagar, as Animal Nutrition Club with the objective of maintaining a liaison among the alumni, scientists and other professionals associated with Division of Animal Nutrition, IVRI. Based on the encouraging response and proposition received from the members across the country, it was decided to make the Animal Nutrition Club more broad-based, and accordingly it was renamed as Animal Nutrition Association, got registered with the Registrar of Societies in 1994, and made it open to all the persons involved in the field of animal nutrition and allied sciences. Since then, ANA has grown in leaps and bounds and build up as a professional forum at the national level. The ANA has now become one of the member organizations of World Association of Animal Production (WAAP), Rome. It now boasts of having more than 800 life members across India and beyond.
