Biography

Dr. Amata Ifo Alex hold a position of Professor at Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. He earned his Ph.D. in Biotechnology and Food Industries from Ensaia Inpl Nancy Fr, France. Previously he was appointed as Executive Director at Joyan Enterprises, acting G.M at Intersardine (Nig) Ltd. Sango, Ogun State, Production Manager at Tate Industries, and Senior Research Officer at FIIRO Lagos. He is member of Nigerian Society for Animal Production, Animal Science Association of Nigeria, Nigerian Institute for Food Science & Technology, Nigerian Institute of Animal Science and registered Animal Scientist. He has supervised 12 students’ projects. His main area of research interest focuses on the Mineral levels in the Male Reproductive Organs of Pigs of different breeds fed on a normal Maize Diet, and Metabolic and Physiological changes in growing Male Pigs fed on diets with different Cyanide concentrations, and the role of Pitching yeast Aeration in Brewery Fermentations and the Metabolism of Acetate. Dr. Amata has published 35 research articles in journals contributed as author/co-author.
