Shey Ndogmi Yoniwo
Shey N. Yoniwo MRSB is a PhD Fellow at the School of Psychology and Life Sciences - Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU). His research interests explores strands in the nexus between agricultural genetics and breeding, environment, sustainable food systems, nutrition and public health. Currently at CCCU, his work is centred around investigating the impact of crop diversity, climate variability, pre- and postharvest management practices, and processing techniques on maize nutrient quality and bioavailability. Furthermore, he simultaneously incorporates both Risk and Benefit Analysis (RBA) of dietary exposure to maize in order to assess how current consumption habits could potentially affect the health of consumers.
Mr Shey N. Yoniwo is equally a certified and professional animal scientist with 5+ years experience in livestock husbandry and research as well as a 3 years of teaching experience in higher education. Currently an active member of a research team in Cameroon that focuses on the selective breeding and conservation of local poultry genetic resources with emphasis on adaptability, productivity and resilience traits.
Prior to joining CCCU, he earned a Diploma and, a BEng and M.Sc. in animal sciences from CNFZVH Jakiri and the University of Dschang respectively. He is skilled in scientific communication, data recording systems, animal breeding and identification, biostatistics, analytical chemistry, colorimetric analysis, liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS).

Broiler chicken production is an important sub-sector in Cameroon contributing up to 72% of national poultry production characterized mainly by small to medium size firms, unqualified personnel and capital investment.
The aim of this research was to evaluate broiler chicken housing and feeding management systems in Bambui. Primary data was collected through door to door administration of pretested questionnaire and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2013.
Results revealed that all age groups were involved in broiler chicken production with 51.7% being women. Most farmers were literates with 26.7% attending high school and above. Most farmers were operating on small scale (102±10.09 birds/farmer on average) characterized by the cage in house systems (46.7%). The average floor space was 24.82m2 ±4.71 with a stocking density of 4 birds/m2. Contrary to norms, most poultry houses faced North-South.
Farms had mostly grower and adult feeders with 45% having capacities of 4 to 6kg. All farmers obtained feed from commercial suppliers with just 11.7% also providing self-formulated feed. Most farmers (41.7%) fed birds twice/day with feeding interval of 6 to 12 hours. Water was available and regular and was being offered to birds on a 6 to 12 hours interval.
Quantity of feed given to broiler birds on average was 138.56g/broiler chicken/day and birds had an average weight of 4 kg and above at 8 weeks of age.
Outcome shows that performance of birds were good but proper record keeping is required to carry out cost benefit analysis which will help determine the profitability of these broiler chicken farms.
