Research

Research Interests

I obtained a BSc in Agriculture, Animal Science (optional). I was interested in genotype-environment interactions, which prompted me to pursue a profession in animal breeding and nutrition. I've been at CSIR-ARI for about two decades, working at the Poultry Unit of the Farmed Animal Technology Development Division. Currently, I am focusing on the phenotypic characterization of rabbit kinds in several Ghanaian locations, as well as the use of non-traditional feed ingredients and agro-industrial byproducts in sustainable poultry feeding. The goal is to increase profitability in the rabbit business while simultaneously lowering production costs for poultry producers.

Current Research

I am the team leader for the "Utilization of Non-Conventional Feed Ingredients and Agro-Industrial By-Products (AIBPs) in Sustainable Poultry Feeding project", which is funded by KOPIA Ghana. This research aims to investigate the usage of various non-conventional feed ingredients to minimise the cost of feeding poultry in Ghana. The primary goal of this project is to lower poultry and livestock feeding costs in Ghana by promoting the sustainable use of relatively inexpensive non-conventional feed ingredients.
