Research Interests
  • Formulation of feed to meet the nutrient requirement for chicken, turkeys, guinea fowls, quails and ducks.
  • Improve the reproductive performance of Broiler breeders, commercial laying hens and quail breeders.
  • Improve the local production of day-old chicks, poults and keets.

    • Current Research

    Effect of black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM), in the diet of Japanese quails on their growth and reproductive performance

    Brief Profile

    Mr. Gabriel Adu-Aboagye is a Research Scientist and a member of the Farmed Animal Technology Development Division of the CSIR – Animal Research Institute. He holds a Master of Science (M. Sc.) in Applied Poultry Science from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK and presently, a PhD candidate pursuing reproductive physiology as a specialty at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana. His expertise includes poultry nutrition and reproduction relative to these species namely broiler breeders, commercial layers, guinea fowls, quails, and turkeys. He has been involved in several donor funded projects and consultancies that have had immense impact on communities and farmers engaged in the poultry industry. These projects include among others Insect as food for West Africa (IFWA), CABI Switzerland project to feed local poultry with insect larvae (House fly, Black soldier fly) and termites and KOPIA project to up-scale the development of locally adopted commercial broiler day-old chicks (ARIBRO). He has also been a key resource person for a lot of national training programs for poultry farmers’ associations at the Greater Accra, Central, Eastern, Western and Volta regions of Ghana. He is still a lecturer at the CCST – CSIR-Animal Research Institute campus and lectures the following courses Non-Ruminant Nutrition and Production Systems and Feed Technology aside thesis supervision. He has 14 publications in peer-reviewed journals to his credit.
