Abdulraheem Arome Musa

Dr. Abdulraheem Arome Musa is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Domestic Animal Genetics Group at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN), Dummerstorf, Germany. He holds a Dr. sc. agr. in Statistical Genetics from FBN and the University of Kiel, and his work focuses on genomic selection, genetic diversity conservation, and breeding program optimization in livestock.

• B.Sc. Agriculture, Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria (2005–2010)
• M.Sc. Animal Science, Ahmadu Bello University, Nigeria (2012–2014)
• Professional Diploma in Education, Federal College of Education, Nigeria (2012–2015)
• Dr. sc. agr., FBN Dummerstorf & University of Kiel, Germany (2017–2021)

His research centers on genomic prediction, statistical modeling for genetic diversity, and design of sustainable breeding programs. He develops and applies similarity matrices and Mendelian sampling models to preserve haplotype diversity while maintaining genetic gain. His work bridges theoretical genetics with practical applications in farm animal improvement.

The most recent articles demonstrate a consistent focus on genomic selection methodologies, genetic diversity metrics, and statistical innovations in animal breeding. His publications span from poultry genetics in Nigeria to advanced genomic modeling in cattle and breeding theory, showing both regional relevance and global scientific impact. Topics include neural networks in agriculture, diallel analysis, and hematological markers, reflecting a broad quantitative and applied approach.
