2. WORK EXPERIENCE:
September 2015 to March 1th 2016; Visiting researcher, UNESO-TWAS-Chinese Academy for
sciences (CAS), Institute of Sub-tropical Agriculture (ISA), Hunan, China
As postdoctoral fellow at Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (ISA) in China, I was
collaborated with Chinese researchers in conducting a study on the effects of cysteamine
(cs) on meat quality of finishing pigs. We explored animal performance, carcass and meat
traits and molecular analysis. The research was funded by TWAS-UNESCO-Chinese Academy
of Sciences (CAS).
February 2015 at present, Assistant Professor at Burundi University, Bujumbura, Burundi
Course Responsibilities:
 I lecture principles of nutrition and conduct practical courses, including feeds and
supplements, feed analysis, digestibility, manual energy calculations, manuel protein
calculations and feed formulations.
Research Responsibilities:
 I conduct research involving inputs and outputs, molecular nutrition, agricultural
residues and non-conventional feeds
 I supervise more than 10 graduate students to conduct their independent research
projects including project design, data collection, data analysis and final reports
Other Responsibilities: In addition to the above academic and research works I am responsible for:
 Extension work to livestock farmers ( I train animal farmers modern techniques for
rearing domestic animals under European Commission funding)
 Cow farm management(i.e. monitoring reproduction, nutrition and diseases
prevention)
 Training of livestock farmers under the European commission funding from
 Animal care for several farmers in the province of Gitega
2011-2015: During this PhD research work, I studied the effects of graded levels of urea in
growing camels fed roughage based complete pellet diets. The research project was funded
by African Union (AU) and Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR). Two articles from
this research work have been published: (1)Supplementation of urea affects rumen
microbial enzyme activity and nitrogen metabolism in growing camels fed with roughage
based complete pellet diets and (2) Influence of urea supplementation on nutrient intake
and growth performance in growing camels fed roughage based complete pellet diets in the
Journal of Animal Nutrition.

2002-2010: Different works in the Netherlands
2000-2002: During my master studies I conducted a research work in order to improve in
vitro maturation media and published an article entitled: “effects of hormonal
supplementation in protein- free culture media on maturation and developmental
competence of porcine oocytes in vitro”. The research project was funded by Chinese
government.
1994-1999: I was laboratory Assistant, University of Burundi, Gitega, Burundi
Research Responsibilities:
 I was responsible for the maintenance of Animal Nutrition Laboratory,
 I supervised and assisted more than 30 undergraduate students to conduct their
independent research projects including project design, data collection, data analysis and
final reports
1993-1994: During my bachelor studies I performed a research work in order to write my
bachelor thesis in animal sciences. I evaluated milk production and analyzed chemical
composition, physical properties and technological qualities of Bulgarian Cheese from
Southern Bulgarian Corridel Ewes.
