OUR FELLOWS
Olubukola Ajike Isah wants to make a positive contribution to improving livestock production and productivity in Nigeria. The accomplished Senior Lecturer at the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta, who has authored or co-authored more than 25 papers, focuses her research on the identification and nutritive evaluation of various non-conventional forages and feed supplements, such as urea molasses feed blocks for dry-season feeding.
I want to minimize the negative effects of livestock gastric emissions on climate change,” she says. “Rumen microbes produce gas, the livestock then belch it out, which destroys the ozone layer and causes climate change.” One tactic she’s using is to introduce urea molasses feed blocks to local farmers through her university’s agricultural extension and media resource center.
