Research Interests

I am specialized in Animal Breeding and Genetics with an interest in farmed animal genetics and population structure. I work on Relationships of Economic Traits of Farmed Animals, Egg Quality and Embryogenesis, Hatchery Management, and Poultry Production (Chicken and Quail).

Current Research

Characteristics and qualities of livestock and poultry markets in the Greater Accra Region. Baseline study on the knowledge base of poultry farmers on chick quality assessment in selected communities in the Greater Accra Region.
