Dr Godfrey B Nyamushamba was born in Rushinga, Zimbabwe. He obtained the following degrees from the Women’s University in Africa: BSc. Agric. Hons in Animal Science (2006) and Masters in Business Administration (2010). He also obtained an MSc in Animal Science (2012) from the University of Zimbabwe and enrolled for my PhD in Animal Science in 2014 at the University of Fort Hare. His PhD research, conducted in South Africa, investigated the effects of non-genetic factors affecting cow and calf performance of indigenous Nguni cattle and characterise their morphological characteristics. The study demonstrated that cow and calf performance was affected by age and sex of the calf, season and parity of the dam. Prediction equations based on heart girth can be used efficiently to estimate live body weight of indigenous Nguni cattle. The study also concluded that calf and cow performance was affected by non-genetic factors. It was recommended that when selecting for linear measurements, age and season of measurement should be given seriously considered and adjusted for. To date he have published 15 publications in refereed reputable journals to date and he completed my PhD in Animal Science in 2017. One of his research papers is a review paper published in 2017 from my completed PhD thesis which focused on, ‘Cow and calf performance, morphological diversity and the relationship between body weight and linear type traits of indigenous Nguni cattle.’ He recently graduated on 10 May 2018 at the University of Fort Hare in South Africa. My supervisors were Prof Voster Muchenje (University of Fort Hare) and Dr Cletos Mapiye (University of Stellenbosch). Currently he is the Acting Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. He was appointed on 1 March 2018. He joined Women’s University in Africa in 2008 as a Teaching Assistant and was appointed Lecturer in Animal Science in September 2012. He was the programme coordinator of Agribusiness Management from 2010 to 2016 and in 2017 he was appointed Animal Science Programme Coordinator. His research interests is on animal production and the conservation of indigenous animal genetic resources.
