I am Mxolisi Emmanuel Nene, MSc Agriculture (Animal Science) student at University of Zululand and ARC (Agricultural research Council) Postgraduate Development Programme based in ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute in Pretoria.

My research focuses on profiling the abundance and diversity of stool microbiota in Indigenous rurall chicken. I am enthusiastic about bioinformatics, genetics and animal genomics.

Such a forum would be increadibly benefitial for me, as I would be able to disseminate the findings on my research and also get an opportunity to forge future collaborations with international scientists and individuals.
