Dr. Wuraola Olamide ADEGUN is an Animal Scientist and researcher with a background in Animal Production and Health; expertise in non – ruminant production, a strong interest in One Health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and sustainable livestock production. Her research focuses on exploring phytochemicals as alternatives to conventional antibiotics in non - ruminant production with emphasis on animal health, food safety and public health. She has engaged in research examining the antimicrobial potential of ethnomedicine and their application in animal health improvement. Her research interests are driven by the need to address antimicrobial resistance while promoting safe, sustainable, and productive livestock production. She is passionate about interdisciplinary research that connects animal health, environmental sustainability, and public health. Beyond research, Wuraola is interested in continuous learning, professional development, collaborative scientific research, capacity building in animal health, and the translation of research findings into practical agricultural innovations.
