Filomena dos Anjos is passionate about poultry. For the past 15 years, this senior lecturer and veterinarian at Eduardo Mondlane University has worked with poultry farmers—who are primarily women—to control Newcastle disease through vaccination campaigns. In Mozambique, more than 70 percent of rural families keep chickens, which have great socio-economic importance, contributing to household food security and income. However, the production level is low due to disease, deficient nutrition, and general mismanagement. Feed is the most important factor in commercial poultry farming, since it represents some 70 to 80 percent of total costs both in egg and poultry yields. Dos Anjos’s challenge is to help them overcome the scarcity and high cost of feed. Through AWARD, dos Anjos competed for a nine-month, advanced science training sponsored by Novus International, a leading developer of animal health and nutrition programs for the poultry, pork, beef, dairy, aquaculture, and companion animal industries. Her research goal was to increase the efficiency and profitability of poultry-production systems in Mozambique through the use of more cost-effective feed ingredients, such as pigeon peas and cowpeas.
