SUMMARY

I am a career Animal Scientist with vast experience in animal production extension work, research and training. I have been a trainer at Egerton University, department of animal sciences for over 30 years. I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate (MSc and PhD) students in animal production.

The research work with the students has been presented in scientific conferences, seminars and published in peer reviewed journals. Results of these researches have been packaged as technical outreach messages to the farmers within and outside Kenya.
