I, Prof. SOGUNLE Olajide Mark graduated from the Department of Animal Production and Health, University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in the year 1998 in Second Class upper division. Afterwards, I hold a research Master of Agriculture Degree in Animal Production and Health in the year 2001 and a PhD in Animal Production and Health in year 2007 with option in Non-Ruminant Animal Production from the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. In the year 2016, I was fortunate to be among the selected few for the Prestigious C V Raman Fellowship for African Researchers as a Post-Doctoral Fellow tenable at the India Council of Agricultural Research – National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology (ICAR-NIANP), Bengaluru, India. I have been a faculty member of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta since 2003 and have taught courses relating to the current research quests as an Animal Scientist; production systems. I am a Registered Animal Scientist.
The body of activities and procedures carried out by rural–resource poor livestock farmers in the on-going management of their farms and for which advice may be sought continue to be a major driving force of my research for over a decade. Consequently, my research over the years has been hinged on the following thematic areas:
- Evaluation of the nutritional components of underutilized feed resources in Non-Ruminant Production
- Value-addition in animal products particularly meat
- Hatching eggs and post-hatching performance in cockerel and broiler chickens
- Manipulation of the micro-environment/housing systems of poultry production
- Forms of feed and feeding strategies on growth performance, carcass traits and villus morphology of poultry, pig and rabbit
- In ovo injection of nutrients in broiler and indigenous chickens
