Assistant Professor
college of Agriculture, Engineering and Science (COAES)
Agriculture Programme

Dr. Mathew. O. AYOOLA is a Lecturer in the Agriculture programme, Animal Science and Fisheries Management Unit. 

He teaches courses related to Animal production, Animal physiology, Animal welfare and behavior, Fish adaptation, and fish physiology. Mathew’s broad research area is in Animal Physiology and ethology. 

He is currently coordinating the Student industrial work experience scheme in Agriculture programme, teaching and research farm of the University. and served on several University committees.

Education
  • Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, Cape Town Area, South Africa (Ph.D Animal Science)
  • University of Ibadan, Nigeria (Master of Science, Animal Science)
  • Bowen University, Nigeria (Bachelor of Agriculture, Animal Science & Fisheries Management)
  • The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Nigeria (Ordinary National Diploma, Science Laboratory Technology)
Research

His research interest covers application of ethno-veterinary medicine on reproductive and digestive physiology of farm animals, assisted reproductive techniques, studies related to animal behavior, welfare and smart livestock farming systems. 

He is currently working on animal behavior in relation to housing management and handling, environmental physiology and welfare implications in assisted reproductive technologies on livestock and aquatic species.

Research in Progress

  • Evaluation of weaning intervals on physiology, and behavioural adaptation of piglets
  • Evaluation of heat stress in broiler chicken using sound vocalization.
  • Application of algorithm through sound vocalization to model body weight in broiler chicken
  • Application of Carica papaya and Moringa oleifera leaf meal as endocrine disruptor in rabbit.
  • Evaluation of oestrus synchronization protocols on timed artificial insemination in Bos indicus and west africa dwarf goats
  • Genetic variation in heat stressed adaptation of red sokoto and west africa dwarf goats

He has five (5) postgraduate students who are currently working in his research group.

Interested postgraduate students are welcome to contact and join his research team.

Institutional Service
  • Chair, College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science, Research ethics committee.
  • Coordinator Bowen University Teaching and Research farm.
  • Member, Bowen University Research and Ethics committee
  • Member, Bowen University Scholarship, Awards and Prizes committee
  • Member, Bowen University Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme coordinating office
Professional Service
  • Registered Animal Scientist with Nigerian Institute of Animal Science
