Research Interest
Prof. Job Olutimehin Atteh's research primarily focuses on monogastric nutrition, particularly in poultry science. His work explores the effects of dietary components—such as fatty acids, calcium levels, and alternative protein sources—on the performance and metabolism of broiler chickens. He has also investigated the replacement of fish meal with maggots in broiler diets to enhance nutrient retention. Beyond nutrition, Prof. Atteh has contributed significantly to livestock feed manufacturing and the broader field of animal production. His research has shaped agricultural practices in Nigeria, and his mentorship has influenced numerous students and professionals in the field.
