About

I am a dedicated researcher in animal agriculture with a particular passion for sustainable poultry production. Cheap, non-conventional feed ingredients and grain by-products have the potential to help cut the cost of animal production and reduce reliance on expensive feed ingredients - a field of animal nutrition I am interested in. My focus is on how to use biotechnology to improve the utilization of these non- conventional feed sources that have limited uses in animal feed formulation. I am interested in using organic enzymes, probiotics, and other gut enhancers to improve poultry birds' ability to utilize the nutrients in these non-conventional feed ingredients. Besides doing research I am committed to sharing knowledge beyond academia. I analyze research publications and translate complex findings into practical advice for farmers through engaging educational videos and articles on various platforms. This initiative has helped me to disseminate information to farmers globally, while helping to bridge the gap between research and practice. Looking to the future, my research aspirations include further exploring cost-reduction strategies in poultry production, investigating the potential of insects as alternative protein sources, and contributing to the development of a more sustainable and profitable animal agriculture sector in Kenya. I aim to pursue a PhD in Animal Nutrition and establish a model farm for research and knowledge dissemination. My goal is to inspire youth to embrace animal agriculture as a path to self-employment and a solution to food insecurity and poverty in my community. I believe that through dedication, resilience, and communication, I can make a lasting impact on the field of sustainable animal agriculture. I am passionate about lifelong learning and am always eager to acquire new skills and techniques. I am open to collaborating with like- minded individuals to develop sustainable solutions for the livestock industry.
