He is a Registered member of the Animal Science Association of Nigeria, and a Registered Animal Scientist with the Nigerian Institute of Animal Science. His areas of research are Animal Genetics, Nutri-Genomics, and Immune responses chickens fed natural supplements. His current projects are (1)'SNP Identification in the growth hormone gene in a pig population in Nigeria (2) Expression analysis of candidate genes associated with growth and pork quality in metabolic tissues (Liver and Duodenum) of pigs (Genes currently been studied includes: GH1, RYR1, Leptin and IGF-2) fed different dietary energy sources.(3). Haematology and Serological indices of pigs fed different dietary energy sources (4).Performance evaluation and cost benefit analysis of unconventional energy feed sources in relation to maize in pig diet. His research experience and skills includes; Animal Breeding Technology, Genetic Analysis, DNA and RNA Extraction, cDNA Synthesis, Rt-qPCR analysis, ELISA and Nutigenomics research.
