As a veterinary officer, Bridgit Muasa conducts disease diagnosis and control at the Ministry of Livestock Development’s Central Veterinary Laboratories. “Livestock management in Kenya is often left to the women, who manage the animals’ day-to-day health and production,” says Muasa, who is working on improving the delivery of farm animal genetic resources via assisted reproductive technologies as a research assistant at ILRI. Although her current research is with cattle, avian management and production are her passion.
